The user This manual is designed for the use of geo-scientists with
an interest and need in developing palaeobiological materials as a
potential source of data. To meet this objective practical
procedures have been formatted for use by both professional and
semi professional students with an initial understanding of palaeo
biological research aims as a primary source of scientific data. I
have attempted to provide an explanation and understanding of
practical procedures which may be required by students undertaking
palaeobiological projects as part of a degree course. The layout of
this manual should be particularly beneficial in the instruction
and training of geotechnologists and museum preparators. Graduate
students and scientists requiring an outline of a preparation
procedure will also be able to use the manual as a reference from
which to assess the suitability of a procedure. This manual is also
intended for use by the "committed amateur." Many of the techniques
described in this manual have been devised by non-palaeontologists,
and developed from methods used in archaeology, zoology and botany,
as well as other areas of geology. A considerable number of the
methods can be undertaken by the amateur, and in the case of many
of the field procedures, should be used. This will ensure that
specimens and samples can be conserved in such a manner as to
facilitate any later research, and not invalidate the results of
subsequent geochemical analytical techniques which might be
employed."
