Abstract
Plastic standards for use in geochemical prospecting have been prepared by impregnating a clear thermosetting resin with different amounts of a stable dye or colored metal complex. The colored plastic is molded or subsequently milled into convenient shapes to form standards that are less bulky and more stable than the liquid standards conventionally used in rapid field methods. The use of such standards is limited only by the availability of stable coloring materials. The preparation of plastic standards for use with copper, zinc, tin, and mercury field procedures is described.
