Soils, Minerals, Wood, and Other Vegetative Matter. Location Link suspect Trace Evidence bsapp.com

Soil Any material, both natural and artificial, that lies on or near the Earth's surface Most of this evidence is only useful as support or lead generating bsapp.com

Examination of Soil Throughout the examination of soil an observer must: Look for trace evidence Compare the physical and chemical properties of each sample to a control sample bsapp.com

Matching Soil Samples Two samples are considered to be the same if and only if they match on each and every level of the following tests bsapp.com

Dry Samples & Pulverize Dirt changes shade and color at different moisture levels Dried dirt may clot bsapp.com

Gross Examination Color Texture Shapes Foreign Objects bsapp.com

UV-Observations Note the shape, size, number, and identity (if possible) of any material that fluoresces Compare Samples bsapp.com

Place a thin layer of dirt on a slide bsapp.com

WARNING Place only a small amount of sample on the slide at a time. Be sure the dirt is placed only in the center of the slide so as not to allow it to fall in the microscope. bsapp.com

Place a second slide on top of the sample bsapp.com

Final Comparison Any and all foreign objects found should be investigated separately If all previous comparisons are similar between two samples they likely originate from the same area As final comparison density gradient columns may be utilized bsapp.com
