Professional approach
The work centres on the object and questions posed: exactly what needs to be established, which materials have been supplied, how the object was found, how it is packaged, whether comparison samples are available and what limitations apply to the examination.

What you should
- preserve the object and avoid contaminating it with foreign materials;
- state the conditions of discovery, collection, storage and packaging;
- prepare comparison samples if the question requires comparison;
- keep expert biological examination, DNA analysis, veterinary, sanitary and nature-conservation assessments distinct.
Combined examination
If a dispute concerns DNA, provenance, protected-species status, veterinary matters, sanitation or material composition, multidisciplinary work with relevant specialists or a laboratory may be needed.
