This volume fulfills a long-standing need of vertebrate
paleontologists - whether amateurs attending their first excavation
or preparators and curators - for a book that describes and
explains modern paleontological techniques and practice. The
authors of this volume are all exceptional technicians in their
field and the book covers everything from field specimen
collecting, through conservation methods, chemical preparation,
molding, casting and painting, and mounting of vertebrate
skeletons, to the final chapter devoted to the use of CT scans and
X-ray methods. The book stems from the fact that, up until now,
most preparatory techniques and skills have been passed down by
example and demonstration, but they have rarely ever been
standardized and set down in print. This book attempts to do this,
and aims to enlighten workers on the most modern and successful
methods that can be used in preserving and studying our fossil
heritage.
