B. Shirley specializes on conodonts and their preparation. Together with his colleagues they explain how to prepare these delicate fossils. Highlights of their study are:
Sectional images of fossils reveal ultrastructural information about their skeletal tissues. New preparation workflows highlight issues during process development. Prior knowledge of these pitfalls increases preparation quality and efficiency. These workflows can be adopted to other biomineralized tissues.
