We study skeleton C*-subalgebras of a given C*-algebra. We show that if A is a unital (non-unital but σ-unital) simple C*-algebra, ℳ is any unital (nonunital) matroid C* -algebra, then A contains a skeleton C*-subalgebra B with a quotient which is isomorphic to ℳ. Other results for skeleton C*-subalgebras are also obtained. Applications of these results to the structure of quasi-multipliers and perturbations of C*-algebras are given.
