What the work includes
The examination is based on the objects supplied, photographs, documents, information on conditions of discovery, comparison samples and the questions posed.
- initial assessment of the object, packaging and conditions of discovery;
- analysis of features indicating plant or animal origin;
- assessment of possible species, genus or group identification;
- comparison with comparison samples, where available;

Typical questions
- whether the object is of biological origin;
