Abstract

Plant macrofossil specimens should be preserved for future re-examination. Accumulated specimens can be used for other research programs. Usually research on plant macrofossils starts with the description of assmemblages, and specimen numbers will be attached to the assemblages. If it is needed, additional numbers for taxa or individuals are attached. To attach numbers to individual specimens, some researchers mount them on slides because it is difficult to attach numbers on the specimens themselves. But this method makes it difficult to retrieve the specimens for further study. Large collection of extant specimens for comparison is important for the identification. Specimens should be deposited in a proper institute and their information should be made available to the other researchers.
