Epoch Explorer, a fossil record time machine

Field notes

Epoch Explorer lets visitors move between regions and geologic periods, including a Late Jurassic view at roughly 160 million years ago, then inspect fossil records and associated events. Its tectonic diagram is deliberately schematic: it indicates which landmasses were connected, not the precise location of each fossil. The project names the Paleobiology Database as its fossil-data source, links to sources and methods, and separates observed records from the site’s own inferences.
