Trace fossil WWW page



As a general announcment to all PaleoNetters, now there is a WWW page online
dealing with ichnology and trace fossils, the first that I know of on the Web.
 The address is:

http://www.emory.edu/GEOSCIENCE/TFW3.html

This address will get you directly to the page; for a more meandering route,
you can go into the Geosciences Program, Emory University WWW site through:

http://www.emory.edu/GEOSCIENCE/

The page includes a brief introduction to the subject of ichnology (focusing
specifically on paleoichnology) and the beginnings of a bibliography.  For a
trial run, we have 13 trace fossil images accompanied by my brief
descriptions.  I plan to gradually add more images, text, and diagrams to the
page throughout the upcoming school year so that this can be a source for
undergraduate or graduate students interested in getting information on this
subject.

I'd be interested in feedback concerning the page because I would like, first
and foremost, for it to be an educational resource of increasing quality. 
I'll be leaving for Europe later this week but may be able to monitor your
comments, suggestions, or outrage while there.  I will be back (hopefully with
many European trace fossil images!) Aug. 20 and definitely will be able to
address your input after then.  Write to me (Anthony Martin) at:
paleoman@learnlink.emory.  Thanks!
