Former Aberystwyth microfossil collection

A catalogue of information about discrete collections within the Former Aberystwyth University Micropalaeontology Collection, now housed the Natural History Museum.

The catalogue is designed for **university academics** and **industrial micropalaeontologists** interested in post-Palaeozoic ostracods and foraminifera.

Collection records generally include:

* the title of the study that produced the collection
* information about the collector
* any associated documentation (e.g. thesis, record file or publications) held at the Museum.
* brief geological ages based on the Gradstein et al. (1996) geological timescale
* locality information.

The database is searchable by surname, year, fossil type, collector, country/sea/ocean, or by stratigraphical unit.
