Digital Atlas of Ancient Life

Atlas numérique interactif pour la paléontologie.

This app is a free resource designed to help individuals identify and better understand fossil species from the Neogene, Pennsylvanian, Ordovician, and Cretaceous of the U.S.A.

It is a companion to the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life website https://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org and was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF EF-1206757, EF-1206769, EF-1206750 and DBI-1602067, DBI-1645520) to principal investigators Dr. Bruce S. Lieberman (University of Kansas), Dr. Alycia Stigall (Ohio University), and Dr. Jonathan Hendricks (Paleontological Research Institution). This project is related to a broader natural history specimen digitization effort supported by the National Resource for Advancing the Digitization of Biodiversity Collections (ADBC) called Integrated Digitized Biocollections, or iDigBio.
