Subject: Searchable pollen database


Dear Quaternarists,

The Neotropical Paleoecology Research Group is pleased to announce the
launch of its searchable pollen database on the web.

The purpose of this database is to assist in the identification of
Neotropical pollen and can be quizzed according to family or genus, or as
a multiple access key.  The database contains photographs of >1000 taxa
most commonly found in fossil pollen spectra.

This data base is searchable in a read only format without any software
requirements.  However, if you wish to edit or modify the database in any
way then FileMaker 5 or higher is required.

It should be noted that this database is an ongoing project and it is by
no means a complete guide to Neotropical pollen.  In addition, there are
undoubtedly small glitches and typing errors within the program and
database.  We would encourage people to inform us of these when they are
encountered.

To register to download the pollen database please follow links from our
web page, http://www.fit.edu/biology/bushlab/index.html
