paleonet New PaleoBase Images



Just a brief announcement that a set of new PaleoVision images have 
been placed on the PaleoBase web site.

http://www.paleobase.com/gallery/gallery2.html

These are images of mollusc fossils that are included (along with over 
800 others) in the PaleoBase Part 2 database. Although PaleoBase is 
co-published by Blackwell and The Natural History Museum—one of which 
is a commercial outfit and the other of which is not—the new images are 
available for viewing and use irrespective of whether you're interested 
in the database. On a technical note, many of these images were created 
using the digital 'extended focus' technique that has been described 
and discussed several times on the list. Additional PalaeoVision images 
of microfossils, all of which were created with the extended focus 
technique, are available from the following NHM web page.

Not bad for critters that are 400 microns or less in length/diam.

Enjoy.
