Re: paleonet Software



Dear Mitch,

Thank you for your reply. 
The area I am working in is paleohistology of dental tissues. I am currently 
concerned with tusks of several species of Proboscideans, but I am also 
planning to work soon on teeth of hippos and rhinos. My photo data is mostly 
SEM images of the tissues, which I would need to be able to seperate by taxon, 
area, or type of tissue. 
I am unfamiliar with this type of software, so would you say that tis program 
will do the job for me?

Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,
