Abstract
This section outlines techniques specific for the preparation of vertebrate fossils. The objectives in preparing invertebrate and vertebrate fossils are frequently similar, and so are the mechanical and chemical methods used in preparation. Differences result in the size of material under preparation, and scale of the procedures employed. There are also differences in the laboratory equipment used in monitoring and observing the effects and results of preparation.
