[my ‘minor’ in my MSc Geology at the University of Auckland, NZ was in palæontology, and I have had an interest ever since; total aside – <fred.*> is what I call my temp/junk/working files, anyone else?]

maps - Example maps of New Zealand mainland (>73,000 localities), Raukumara Peninsula (>13,000 localities), and detail of Mahia Peninsula (212 localities), to illustrate the density and distribution of fossil localities recorded in the Fossil Record File.

screen shot - Several different query facilities are provided by the FRED interface into the FRF, the most comprehensive of which is the ‘Advanced Query’. The figure depicts a partially populated Advanced Query search screen. Search fields are grouped into various categories (locality, stratigraphy, taxonomic, etc.) and a selection of operators (equals, contains, numeric inequalities, etc.) to allow a series of Boolean statements to be constructed. Full instructions are provided in the on-line user manual.

photos - Left – Two of the most common fossil taxa recorded in the Fossil Record File, a rimu pollen grain, Dacrydium cupressinum (top; scale bar = 20 μm) and the foraminifer Globoquadrina dehiscens (bottom; scale bar = 200 μm). Right (stereo pair) – One of the rarest taxa recorded, the mosasaur Rikisaurus tehoensis (V19/f0068; scale bar = 200 mm). The microfossils have each been recorded more than 5000 times; the mosasaur only once.
