The preservation of microfossils presents unique challenges in both methodology and documentation. This guide outlines essential steps for effective conservation, including specimen identification, labeling, and housing protocols. Key actions include assigning new AMNH numbers, noting any changes to specimen status, and incorporating holotype indicators. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of database entry, proper storage box preparation, and digital uploads for data accessibility. Embrace these best practices to enhance microfossil conservation efforts and promote research integrity.
