This manual provides a comprehensive approach to procedures and techniques used in the collection and preparation of palaeobiological materials. Procedures used in both the field and laboratory by professional and amateur for research or aesthetic display are detailed. The manual is divided into three sections. An introductory section outlines the scope of practical procedures, and the importance of documentation within the laboratory. The second section covers techniques primarily, although not exclusively, used in the field. The third section, the bulk of the manual, details the physical (mechanical) and chemical procedures used in the preparation, conservation and preservation of palaeobiological materials. Concluding chapters cover preliminary analytical procedures, and the preparation of specimens for display. This manual will assist all those concerned with the preparation, display and documentation of palaeontological specimens and the teaching and understanding of practical techniques.

Cr�ticas:

`This book is very well organized and information is easy to find. [...]many of the techniques will be of use to Holocene workers[...] but all geological departments that undertake research should have a copy for reference. This book will be an invaluable guide to geologists from undergraduate level upwards.[..]But always one must return to the sheer magnitude of the data contained within the 538 pages of this excellent book. It is not just a field techniques and paleobiology laboratory manual, but instead represents a most impressive gathering together of almost everything a successful practical paleobiologist needs to be effective. [...]This manual has managed to fill a gap in the market, which has existed for several years. In the last few decades developments in paleobiological field and laboratory techniques have generally been published as booklets or papers. Green has successfully brought these together here, to produce what will be valued by many as a standard reference on the subject. '
