Integration of Global-Scale Geologic Databases: Fossil and Sedimentary Records

This comprehensive project by Allister Rees at The University of Arizona integrates global-scale geologic databases with a focus on fossil and sedimentary records spanning the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras (over 550 million years). Key databases include the Paleogeographic Atlas Project (PGAP) with >135,000 records from 46,000 localities, Climate Sensitive Sediments (CSS) with >12,500 records, Oil Source Rocks (OSR) with ~2,000 records, and the Paleobiology Database (PBDB) with >585,000 records. Discover our extensive geologic coverage and data for research and education.
