Bibliography

My goal has been to collect the most complete bibliography possible concerning vertebrate paleontological preparation and related information. Please bear in mind that the listing of a reference in this bibliography is in no way an approval of any specific techniques or materials.

Especially be aware that methods and ideas have changed though time, and that many of the materials selected in earlier sources have proven with aging to be unsatisfactory.
