The Crocodile Skin

The amended and revised edition of 'Die Krokodilhaut', for the first time published in English, will assist identification and enforcement at all levels: export and import, and within tanning and manufacturing facilities. For customs officers at the point of export, import and re-export, who do not necessarily have the skilled scientific knowledge needed for fine forensic identification, it should at least allow preliminary determinations to be made, based on key characters described and illustrated in the book. Skins at least should be easily identifiable to species.
