We show that an order in a quartic field has fewer than 3000 essentially different generators as a Z-algebra (and fewer than 200 if the discriminant of the order is sufficiently large). This significantly improves the previously best known bound of 2 72 .Analogously, we show that an order in a quartic field is isomorphic to the invariant order of at most 10 classes of integral binary quartic forms (and at most 7 if the discriminant is sufficiently large). This significantly improves the previously best known bound of 2 80 .
