DGF udgav i 1997 en on-line publikation på forsøgsbasis der dels kan ses direkte fra DGF webstedet eller ved at anvende en såkaldt PURL (Persistent Uniform Resource Locator), som entydigt henviser til publikationen.

PURL adressen er www.purl.dk/net/9710-0100. PURL faciliteten blev brugt for at gøre det muligt at referere til on-line publikationer på linje med alle andre publikationer.

På grund af den digitale udvikling blev det i 2005 endeligt besluttet ikke at fortsætte med denne type publikation. Der eksisterer således kun en enkelt publikation i serien.

The DGF On Line Series was initiated as a test-publication in 1997 – the series was formally discontinued in 2005, with only one publication.

BEMÆRK: DGF har i august 2005 besluttet ikke at fortsætte udgivelsen af On Line Series.

First European Workshop on Vertebrate Palaeontology
Premier Congrès Européen de Paléontologie des Vertébrés
Geological Museum, Copenhagen University, 1st-4th May 1996

On the initiative of French and Danish vertebrate palaeontologists a workshop was arranged in Copenhagen in May 1996 to be followed up by a workshop at Musée des Dinosaures, Espéraza-Quillan, France in May 1997.

The Copenhagen workshop, convened by Ella Hoch, was very well attended by palaeontologists, including many students, principally from France and Denmark and also from England, Holland, India, Norway, Russia and Sweden. Some colleagues from Argentina, Canada and Spain, who were prevented from taking part in the meeting, contributed as authors or co-authors.

The workshop was concluded by a one day fieldtrip to the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary at Stevns Klint, guided by Dr Hans Jørgen Hansen; to the Danian coral limestone of Faxe Quarry, guided by Dr Mads E. Willumsen; and to Quaternary archaeological and historical sites, guided by Geological Survey Geologist Kaj Strand Petersen.

The workshop programme and a number of extended abstracts and short papers relating to the titles of the programme are reproduced below. Some of the speakers plan publication elsewhere and are not included in the list of authors.
