The PI proposes to adopt artificial intelligence computer                       programming for identification of microfossils.  The program will               consist of "expert" input of microfossil identification criteria                which will be used by the computer software to ask questions of                 the user to aid in taxonomic identification.  The software will                 then search a data base for the fossil assemblage identified and                assign an age to the sample under study based on previous expert                input and previous results obtained by the computer.  The data                  base and the artificial intelligence software will continually be               updated by subsequent uses of the software.  This is an initial                 effort by this PI to apply the advances of artificial                           intelligence programming to the study of microfossils.  The                     results would allow consistent identification of microfossils by                different users (some of which could be non-experts).
