Please Note:
The Palaeographic Atlas animation web page has been constructed to be viewed on a screen with a resolution of 1024x768 or greater. Viewing on a smaller resolution screen will cause parts of the page to be displayed 'off-screen'. This will severely inhibit the ability to control the slideshow and view all time slices.


To view the Palaeographic Atlas web page click on the following link: Palaeographic Atlas Animation


Palaeographic Atlas Web Page Information

Essentially every image on the page can be clicked on to either load a new slideshow, view an explanation in a pop-up window, or to go to another web site.

The web page is split into four windows:

Please select from the image to learn more about a particular feature or alternatively scroll through the information below.


Title Window

The title window contains two logos. Clicking on the AGCRC logo will open a link to the AGCRC home page in a new browser window. Clicking on the GA logo will close the browser window and you will be returned to the Geoscience Australia web site.


Legend Window

The individual legend entries may be clicked to display a description in a separate pop-up window.


Stratigraphic Column Window

The purpose of the stratigraphic column is to allow the user to select a time sequence, consisting of images, to be loaded into the 'Time Slice Sequence Window'. All entries in the column can be selected except for the column headings and the Ma numbers.


Time Slice Sequence Window

This window enables the user to view the slideshow and explanations for each slice.

The slideshow is controlled by the buttons at the bottom of the wndow. The buttons perform the following functions:

opens this help file
rewinds the slideshow to the start
rewinds the slideshow one frame at a time
starts and stops the slideshow
forwards the slideshow one frame at a time
forwards the slideshow to the end
closes the browser window

A scrollable list box is also included to enable the user to select a specific time slice from the loaded sequence of images.

Each image that is loaded into the sequence window can also be clicked on to view an explanation about that slice. The explanation will appear in a pop-up window.
