The Panama Paleontology Project (PPP)
The PPP was begun in 1986 by Jeremy Jackson and Anthony Coates of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute ( STRI Visual FoxPro database PPP researchers . After study, all micro- and macrofossils except molluscs and fish are deposited at the NMNH ; mollusc and fish specimens are deposited at the NMB . For details about the current status of collections and specimens, see the homepage for each individual taxonomic group.
The PPP collections have served as the basis for two volumes:

The PPP maintains a contribution series of publications based on collections made by the PPP. Last updated on April 29-afb. NMITA home page Overview of NMITA

Journal of Paleontology
This journal is published bimonthly to promote the study of paleontology . Each issue measures 9.5x7", with about 200 pages, 10-15 feature articles and some shorter pieces like announcements, notes, and society reports. There was a size change to 11x8.5" starting with volume 62. The feature articles have references and are nicely illustrated with plates. Issue number 6 of each volume has a subject index and an author index for the volume. The subjects listed for each issue represent just a few of the topics. Common subjects like foraminifera, conodonts, mollusks, and trace fossils are present in nearly every issue. The best way to find the issues you seek is to consult a bibliography for your topic or a multi-decade index for this journal. Published by the Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists and the Paleontological Society, with generous support and cooperation of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Condition: The individual journals are clean and in very good condition with some lightly soiled and lightly rubbed covers and some lightly bumped corners. Spines are often darkened or faded with minor color chips, most issues have a small name printed on the front. Volumes 44 and 45 have a faint smell of damp which should fade with storage in an open area. Please ask if you want more a detailed description for any given issue. I have mentioned any specific problems, if any, in the individual listing.

NMB ) measured sections and collected large samples of microfossils and macrofossils at closely spaced intervals along nine river sections in the Cibao Valley of the northern Dominican Republic. Age dates for the sections were determined through study of planktic foraminifera and nannofossils. The collections were accessioned by the NMB, and distributed to specialists for identification and preparation of systematic monographs. To date, all collecting efforts have been completed, and ~20 systematic monographs have been published as part of a series entitled "Neogene Paleontology of the Northern Dominican Republic" in the Bulletins of American Paleontology . In addition, the DR collections have served as the basis for several classic studies in evolutionary paleontology, including Cheetham's (1986) widely cited demonstration of punctuated equilibrium in bryozoans and Jung's (1989) revision of the Strombina -Group.

The period is the basic unit of geological time in which a single type of rock system is formed. Two or more periods comprise a geological Era. Two or more Eras form an Eon, the largest division of geologic time. Some periods are divided into epochs. The major periods in the geologic history of the Earth are (mya=million years ago): EON ERA PERIOD P H A N E R O Z O I C 540 mya through today CENOZOIC Quarternary 1.8 mya-today First humans, mammoths, mastodons, saber-toothed cats. Neogene 24-1.8 mya Australopithecus appears. First sheep, cattle, modern whales, bears, mice, rats, apes, monkeys, dogs, modern birds appear. Paleogene 65-24 mya First deer, cats, pigs, tapirs, and rhinos, elephants, horses, owls, shrews, hedgehogs, and rabbits evolve.

OHMDENOSAURUS

(pronounced OHM-den-oh-SAWR-us) Ohmdenosaurus ( meaning "Ohmden, Germany lizard") was a long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur from the early Jurassic period , about 191 million years ago. This sauropod was about 13 ft (4 m) long. Ohmdenosaurus was named by paleontologist Wild in 1978. The type species is O. liasicus . Few fossil bones (only a tibia and tarsus) have been found in Germany. OLFACTORY BULBS
The olfactory bulbs are the parts of the brain that sense smell. OLFACTORY CAVITY
The olfactory cavity is the part of the inside of an animal's skull that once housed the olfactory bulbs. The relative size of the olfactory cavity indicates how well the animal could sense smells. For example, the T. rex nicknamed Sue had a large olfactory cavity

The Panama Paleontology Project
Dr. Anthony G. Coates , Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC; Dr. Jeremy B. Jackson , Scripps Institute of Oceanography/STRI, Dr. Helena Fortunato , STRI. The Panama Paleontology Project, an association of 32 scientists in seven countries, is studying the rise and closure of the Isthmus of Panama and how this has changed the ecology and marine fauna in the Pacific and Atlantic. Using techniques such as detailed studies of fossil plankton, radiometric dating, and paleomagnetic stratigraphy, a continuous record of the timing of a complex sequence of geologic events has been established. Fossils are being studied by a team of experts in various institutions and compared to the living forms through dredging studies, so that the evolutionary history of the fauna can be compared to the physical events to reconstruct the history of the isthmus and its ecological consequences. Numerous expeditions to many locations in Bocas del Toro, many using the RV Urracá , have amassed an unparalleled collection of more than 2000 species of marine molluscs, corals, bryozoa, fish, and microfossils. These have been entered into a large computerized database including digitized images of the species now available on the web. With these, and future expected studies, Bocas del Toro has become one of the most important and complete geological sites in the entire Caribbean.
