Objectif(s): To sample localities known to bear verebrate remains, process the rocks in acid to collect in the residues microvertebrates; to use these microvertebrate remains as stratigraphic tools; and to create a global correlation chart for the Palaeozoic.
Description du projet: The collect on the field of paleontological sample is done like geographical sampling by breaking rock with a hammer. Once collect, the micro-remains of vertebrate fossils are extracted with acid preparation in laboratories. Carbonate rocks processed with acetic (vinegar) or formic acid. Rocks with siliceous matrix are generally processed by dissolution of the bone with chloridric acid. Biostratigraphic correlation will be made through fauna comparisons.
