Anyone have any Paleobotany Classification Data?

[Barry Roth]

Further to Una Smith's comments, if I remember the data structure of Specify correctly, it is tightly rank-driven, and each taxon must be assigned to class, order, family, etc.  I may be wrong about this and would welcome correction.  But if I am right, this does limit the taxonomies that will be acceptable for use in this context.

I have been reviewing this topic with respect to commercially available taxonomic data packages and hope to post more when time and organization (yeah!) permit.

file for specimen cataloging. If you do, would you kindly send me an
e-mail? Many thanks.
