NUMKey: An identification database program for B-forms of Nummulites species (foraminifera; Paleogene) for Windows and Android operating systems
Öz
Nummulites
is an index taxon for the Paleogene period. Because of the numerous species of
this genus, it takes some time to identify and describe the species. Thus, NUMKey
has been developed as a tool to provide convenience for paleontologist in
definition of Nummulites species. This program has been written for a Windows
operating systems with Visual Basic and an Android mobile systems with Java
(Eclipse) to determine microspheric specimens of 138 Nummulites species.
Important physical characteristics for identifying the species-such as
granulation, shape of test, septal filaments, shape of septa at adult stage, H-L
ratio of a chamber and central knob-have been entered into the database. Since
the program includes an open-source code, this aspect permits the modifications
both on the source code and the database.
