A guide to the extraction of fossil diatoms from lithified or partially consolidated sediments

Based on experience gained from processing samples from the Cenozoic basins of south-west Ecuador, a composite procedure for the processing of fossil diatoms from lithified or partially consolidated sediments is presented. The procedure is divided into four stages: (I) initial sample breakdown. (II...

description Based on experience gained from processing samples from the Cenozoic basins of south-west Ecuador, a composite procedure for the processing of fossil diatoms from lithified or partially consolidated sediments is presented. The procedure is divided into four stages: (I) initial sample breakdown. (II) cemented rock breakdown and removal of carbonate component. (III) organic matter removal. (IV) clay removal. These are presented in the form of annotated tables linked by an accompanying flow chart.
