Welcome to our Skills Lab section. Here, it is CKP's intention to demonstrate through multi-media how we do what we do. CKP has a process for everything, called the "CKP Method". Every fossil group will have their own processes, we are just showing ours. We want to share everything we do from start to finish, we hope this section of our website is useful to a variety of viewers.

In each section, we will outline that process along with specific tools and materials used. There will be text, video, and links to the tools and materials.
