The goal of the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life project is to provide a free resource to help individuals identify and better understand fossil species from particular regions and time intervals. In this respect, each Digital Atlas is akin to the types of field guides that naturalists might use to identify bird or plant species. Four Digital Atlases have already been developed or are under active construction:
Cretaceous Atlas of Ancient Life: Western Interior Seaway
Digital Atlas of Ordovician Life: Exploring the Fauna of the Cincinnati Region
Neogene Atlas of Ancient Life: Southeastern United States
Pennsylvanian Atlas of Ancient Life: Midcontinent United States
The Zooniverse is the world’s largest and most popular platform for people-powered research. This research is made possible by volunteers — more than a million people around the world who come together to assist professional researchers. Our goal is to enable research that would not be possible, or practical, otherwise. Zooniverse research results in new discoveries, datasets useful to the wider research community, and many publications.
These are too fun not to read and think about!
