Geological magazine : Vol. 77 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1940Summary: Extract
The remarkable properties that synthetic resins possess make these substances of inestimable value in biological and geological laboratories and museums. Their applications in the biological sciences have been discussed by Hibbin (1937) and by Knight (1937). Bell (1939) and Shrock (1940) have indicated some of the geological methods employing polymerized methyl methacrylate; the material is remarkably transparent and this property tends to detract from the value of the plastic as a casting substance of fossils for, in such work, an opaque material is desirable.
