Fossilworks was a portal which provides query, download, and analysis tools to facilitate access to the Paleobiology Database, a large relational database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists from around the world.

History

[edit]

Fossilworks was created in 1998 by John Alroy and housed at Macquarie University. It included many analysis and data visualization tools formerly included in the Paleobiology Database.[1]

Fossilworks was shut down around 2022 and now links to the Paleobiology Database.
