![]() ![]() Numerous commercial technical experts from industrial chemical and laboratory equipment suppliers have freely provided data and information relating to the use of their products. I am also indebted to Steve Packer for discussions on numerous preparation techniques, and their application in the commercial sector. The latter to whom I am particularly grateful for encouraging me in pursuing the publication of this work, following its early draft as a laboratory manual. This opportunity continued in the Department of Earth Sciences at Oxford University in establishing the Palaeobiology Laboratories and assisting Martin Brasier and Bob Spicer. ![]() For the opportunity to practice established and develop new techniques I am thankful. While in the Department of Geology at Goldsmiths' College (University of London) Dan Bosence, Derek Briggs and Andy Johnstone encouraged the demonstration and application of palaeontological preparation procedures in undergraduate courses. I am particularly indebted to friends and colleagues at South London College, Tony Grindrod, Brian Hunt, Lindzi and Richard Marsh, Steve Rye and Alec Quarterman for enthusiastically introducing me to geological specimen preparation techniques. To the lecturing, research and technical staffs, undergraduate and post graduate students who have tutored, discussed and influenced methodology with me, I am eternally grateful. This manual has been influenced by my association, initially as a student and latterly as a member of staff, with undergraduate courses at South London College and the Universities of London and Oxford. ![]()
