Description
This is the state of the Neptune (NSB) database (http://nsb.mfn-berlin.de) as of 2016-07-02, archived by Johan Renaudie..
The database is given as a native PostgreSQL backup (nsb_postgresql.zip) and is also provided here in SQLite for convenience (nsb_sqlite.zip). As the foreign keys are not preserved in the latter, please check Renaudie et al. 2020 to find back the table relations.
Denormalized tables are also provided in file denormalized_table.zip:
- occurrences.csv contains the full unfiltered micropaleontological occurrences recorded in NSB.
- filtered_occurrences.csv represent a more typical output from the website, i. e. with possibly reworked specimens, open nomenclature taxa and questionable identifications filtered out.
- agemodels.csv finally contains the age models (as a serie of tiepoints) with their metadata
