Method synopsis

Targeted collection of fossil insects and fish from finely laminated limestone beds to determine paleoenvironmental conditions and biotic associations. Focus on well-preserved specimens that can provide ecological and environmental information.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 1 paper using this protocol.

Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Middle Jurassic Todilto Formation of northern New Mexico and southwestern Colorado: Marine or nonmarine? (1995). Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
