Palm Print Trivia
Does anyone know how many minutiae an average palm print contains? If you have an answer a source would be greatly appreciated.

Suggested research project: Take an hour and count the points. Opps. Mea Culpa. We don't count points anymore, do we?

Re: Palm Print Trivia
If you look at AFIS encoded minutiae on palm prints, they vary from 650 to well over a 1000. Keep in mind, though, that they aren't being worked so that number may be a bit high. Just a number to throw out there.
