Combining ‘modern’ techniques and micro- and macropalaeontology—What can they contribute?
The increased use of X-ray computed tomography and comparable analysis and documentation techniques in geosciences and biosciences over the past 20 years has not stopped at macro- and micropalaeontological objects. Combining modified (or rarely used) micropalaeontological processing techniques with other analysis (SEM, X-ray CT, UV-light documenting etc.) on microfossils (e.g. isolated skeletal elements of invertebrates and vertebrates) and macrofossils (e.g. articulated material from fossil lagerstätten), the overall results on biodiversity and palaeobiological are often comprehensive and outstanding.
In the keynote, the author will present and illustrate this with a few examples. Diversity in the selection and application of different methods and techniques is the key to promising and innovative new results.
