Field notes
The controls include filters for named groups ranging from theropods and pterosaurs to trilobites and human relatives. The site credits fossil occurrences to the Paleobiology Database and ancient coastlines and plate motions to a 2021 plate model accessed via GPlates; it also identifies the ICS International Chronostratigraphic Chart as its time scale. The extracted homepage describes a timeline slider, though the map itself is not visible in the supplied text.
