METHODS FOR TABULATING AND CALCULATING PHYTOLITHS FROM REFERENCE SPECIMENS

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1993

Summary

Grasses and one sand sage were collected in the field by Richard Madole of the United States Geological Survey and submitted to Paleo Research Labs for examination for phytoliths. This required a chemical preparation to remove the organic portions of the grasses so that phytoliths would be visible.
