A polypropylene flotation tank suitable for retrieval of floral and faunal materials in the field is described. The operation of the tank is based on a fluid medium and on a bubbler unit which acts to separate small materials from their soil matrix with little damage. Once separated, materials are passed through graduated screens determining size variation of remains within samples, thereby facilitating identification
