Paleontological Collections and Georeferencing of Fossils Across Major US Museums

This project focuses on the extensive fossil collections housed in various US museums, including the Ordovician collections at the Ohio University Zoological Collections, the Neogene fossils at the Florida Museum of Natural History, and the Pennsylvanian specimens at the University of Kansas. With over 450,000 invertebrate fossils and data from more than 11,500 localities, we aim to georeference and develop a comprehensive database for ecological niche modeling and digital atlases. The initiative also includes training opportunities for graduate students, post-docs, and undergraduates.
