Digital Atlas of Ancient Life: A Comprehensive Paleontological Resource

Digital Atlas of Ancient Life by Rodney C Spears offers an extensive online collection of fossils and ancient life data for students, educators, and researchers.
This application serves as a complimentary educational tool, aiming to aid individuals in the identification and comprehension of fossil species from various geological eras in the United States, including the Neogene, Pennsylvanian, Ordovician, and Cretaceous periods. It is designed to accompany the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life website accessible at https://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org. The development of this app was made possible through grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF EF-1206757, EF-1206769, EF-1206750, DBI-1602067, DBI-1645520) awarded to leading researchers Dr. Bruce S. Lieberman (University of Kansas), Dr. Alycia Stigall (Ohio University), and Dr. Jonathan Hendricks (Paleontological Research Institution).
This initiative is part of a broader natural history specimen digitization endeavor supported by the National Resource for Advancing the Digitization of Biodiversity Collections (ADBC) known as Integrated Digitized Biocollections or iDigBio. For further insights into this initiative, readers are encouraged to consult the freely available research article authored by Hendricks, Stigall, and Lieberman in 2015 as published in Palaeontologia Electronica.

I am an editor at UpdateStar. I started as a support engineer, and am now specialized in writing about general software topics from a usability and performance angle among others. I telecommute from UpdateStar’s Berlin office, when I am not working remote as a digital nomad for UpdateStar. When I'm not analyzing the latest software updates, you can find me exploring new cities, immersing myself in local cultures, and discovering innovative tech trends across the globe.
