Gondwana Database (note Database is no longer being updated)
The database was developed
with partial financial support
from the National
Science Foundation Grant NSF EAR98-05306
to J.G. Meert
Note Database v. 1.0 is superseded
by v. 1.1. The password
for the database can be obtained by e-mailing me directly. Please
let me know of any
errors or omissions. I am working on publishing the database on
the web as a
searchable file. You can point out errors or add your own new (or
old) data into the
database by accessing the following form.
