CONCLUSIONS

Silicon rubber moulding, epoxy casting, and anaglyph imaging provide effective, relatively simple and inexpensive techniques for the replication and illustration of microscopic details of fossils, details that for a variety of reasons may not be amenable to study using other methods. The techniques presented here indicate how to maximize the level of detail that can be replicated and imaged with minimum risk to the fossil. With the widespread use of digital imaging, combined with electronic communication and publication, anaglyph images offer a simple, inexpensive and extremely effective means of illustrating fossils in three-dimensions.
