UCMP’s collections catalog (cont.)

5) Images are integrated with collections data, so that images related to particular specimens or localities are served along with the text data where available.
Tiled high-resolution images offer users the ability to zoom and pan for more detail, without needing to download very large files.

6) Learn more buttons, aimed at general audiences, offer links into

UCMP’s web site for information on key concepts including geologic time and biology.

Additional features for the public are under development, such as the ability to map results or search from a graphical map interface.
