Quick Start: Searching by Description A quick way to get started
is to search for words in the specimens' descriptions. For example, if you
want to see all the shark fossils, you can ignore the rest of the page and
just type shark in the Description box.
Search Description:
(enter search words)
Then press the "Start the Tour" button and off you go.
If you want to see all the shark fossils that are not tiger sharks, you
can type
Search Description:
(enter search words)
There is a little "gotcha" in this in that words of three characters
or less are ignored, so searching on "shark -big" is the same
as searching with "shark".
If you want to be more precise in your search you can use the
selection menus. You don't have to make a selection for every option, only
the ones that count for you. For example, if you want to see all the
Crocodilian fossils, you don't have to enter the Kingdom, Phylum, etc.
Just go to the
"Order" selector and select "Crocodilia". Then
press the "Start the Tour" button.
As you make more selections remember that you are asking for all
of the conditions to be satisfied, so you may not want to be too limiting.
I hope you enjoy your Museum!
