Dear Paleonetters,
I am about to process some ditch cuttings samples for palynology. It is usual to dry-sieve samples, prior to their chemical maceration, to remove the larger pieces as these are likely to be caved. Can anyone recommend which size is optimal for this first sieving?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Martin
