Abstract
Many of the geological problems associated with engineering works and the extraction of industrial minerals can be solved using standard, or somewhat innovative, micropalaeontological techniques. This is especially true in cases where the micropalaeontological input is needed to provide precise stratigraphical control within a particular geological setting.
