Tilia

About Tilia

Tilia is software designed for managing and graphing paleontological data and metadata, especially stratigraphic data. The program is especially suitable for graphing microfossil data such as pollen, ostracodes, and diatoms, although it may be used for graphing virtually any kind of stratigraphic data. It is the key program for uploading and editing data to the database, and you can also download full site-level data through Tilia.
