  • Beschreibung: <p>Calcium carbonate microfossils treated with hydrofluoric acid are converted to calcium fluoride, which is translucent when wet. This process, termed fluoridization by the writers, provides a means for investigation of internal structures which is rapid and relatively simple. Procedures are described and applications of the process are discussed.</p>
