Techniques for extration of foraminifers and ostracodes from sediment samples

Several methods of disaggregating sediment samples for analysis of shelly microfossils, such as foraminifers and ostracodes, are regularly used at the Atlantic Geoscience Centre, Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Dartmouth, N.S. This paper describes and illustrates these methods, with a view towards instructing the inexperienced student in their uses. Also included are a brief source list for materials, and a selected bibliography of publications dealing with these and other techniques.
