It remains a core skill in subsurface analysis and prediction vital to the discovery and optimal exploitation of resources. I could not perform my work without the support of micropalaeontologists. Yet Britain no longer has postgraduate courses in micropalaeontology and our level of skills in this discipline is in decline. We cannot and should not let this vital skill disappear from the British Museum as well. The country would be the poorer.
