| Sumario: | Most insect traces are structures with a complex internal architecture, which is studied by means of mechanical sectioning. Often, this method results in the damage of unique specimens and holotypes. Computerized tomography is a useful technique for obtaining images of sections of specimens without damaging them. Tomographic analysis also provides measures and densities of the different parts of the trace and can be used in selecting the best preserved specimens for further study. © 1995, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
