A world map for fossil finds

posted by Jason Kottke May 12, 2017

Fossil World Map

The Paleobiology Database Navigator is a world map that shows where hundreds of thousands of fossils have been found. The data is maintained by an international group of paleontologists and you can filter the map by type of fossil and when it was found. There's even a toggle to flip back and forth between the current placement of the continents and much earlier Pangea-like configurations. (via @srikardr)
