Ammonite Locations on Seymour Island

These data are part of the set used to introduce Stratigraphic Projection-plane Analysis (Zinsmeister, W. J., 2001, "Short-term Biotic Events on Seymour Island, Antarctic Peninsula", Journal of Geology, v. 109, p.213-229). Data are available in three formats: 1) a flat file of individual locations by taxon name, latitude, longitude, and local X (dip direction), Y(strike direction) Z (stratigraphic height) coordinates [261 records]; 2) a flat file of taxon ranges and confidence intervals from the same information as resampled in traverses perpendicular to strike and ranging in width from 125 to 7000 m[1994 records]; 3) a relational data base with the CONMAN9 data manager for use with CONOP9 sequencing software [750kb Windows zipped folder].

Compilation and analysis of these data was funded by NSF grant OPP0338274 to Sadler and NSF grant OPP9417776 to Zinsmeister, which also supported the field collecting.
