FossilworksPaleobiology

Fossilworks Paleobiology is a collaborative project aimed at making paleontological data more accessible and useful. It hosts a wide range of datasets including taxonomic information, occurrences of fossils, and data on extinction events. The project originated from the Neogene Mammals database and has since expanded to encompass a broader scope of fossil groups and geological time periods. Its primary goal is to provide a centralized, queryable resource for paleontologists and other researchers worldwide.

The platform allows users to search for specific taxa, explore their geographic and temporal distributions, and access information on fossil occurrences. Fossilworks Paleobiology also includes tools for data analysis and visualization, enabling researchers to study evolutionary patterns, biodiversity trends, and the history of life on Earth. The project emphasizes data quality and encourages contributions from the scientific community to continually improve and expand its holdings. By integrating diverse paleontological datasets, Fossilworks Paleobiology serves as a crucial hub for research, education, and the advancement of our understanding of past life.
