Neogene Old World Mammals (NOW) This database became public in 1996 and was put on the Internet in primitive form a few years later; it has recently been provided with a sophisticated user interface. NOW includes information on taxa in mainly Neogene faunas, mostly from Europe but also including some African and Asian assemblages; data types include size, diet, locomotion and dental morphology on systematically organized taxa, while site data includes age, country and state. NOW is maintained in collaboration with an extensive Advisory Board, is entirely public (apart from datasets under development), and can be edited over the Internet by authorized contributors. NOW is linked (although currently only behind the scenes) to a public database of 3D tooth shape, MorphoBrowser (http://pantodon.science.helsinki.fi/morphobrowser/).
