Biostratigraphical Masterpacks for Industrial Reference and Training

Four PC-based Masterpack titles provide biostratigraphical information modules for industrial clients in exploration and extraction. The packages focus on specific fossil groups and geographic regions like the British Jurassic, Skye, the Arctic to North Africa, and the Middle East. They serve as practical desktop guides and a basis for in-house staff training.

Use Cases

• Reference British Jurassic Dinoflagellate specimens for stratigraphic correlation in exploration projects.
• Analyze Jurassic Dinoflagellate Cysts from Skye, NW Scotland for regional paleoenvironmental studies.
• Apply the Carboniferous Palynostratigraphy Masterpack for biostratigraphic dating across the Arctic to North Africa.
• Utilize the integrated Palaeozoic Palynostratigraphy database for the North Africa, Middle East & Gulf Region in consultancy work.

Strengths

• Four distinct, industry-focused titles covering specific fossil groups and regions.
• Designed for practical desktop reference and in-house staff training.
• Produced by the authoritative British Geological Survey (BGS).

Limitations
