Permits

For sampling of the following specimen from Council for Geoscience: CGP/1/3000

This permit is issued to Dr. Jennifer Botha-Brink, National Museum Bloemfontein, for destructive analysis of a humerus fragment of Eunotosaurus africanus for bone histological analysis. Specimens were selected due to their already fragmented nature. Analysis will include sectioning of the selected representative of Eunotosaurus africanus fossil material as agreed by the curator Ellen de Kock, Council for Geoscience to extract samples that will be processed to thin sections. The selected specimen is the humerus fragment within the slab CGP/1/3000.

Conditions:

- Sampling may not reduce the structural integrity, overall completeness or the potential for future morphometric and descriptive research.

- The broken humerus fragment will be extricated without damage to the surrounding bones.
