- Its three-level bracket distinguishes well-supported presence, equivocal evidence, and claims the site calls speculation.
Field notes
The catalogue interface offers era, diet, and realm filters, with cards and table views listed as display options. Its explanation of the extant phylogenetic bracket uses non-avian dinosaurs as an example: birds and crocodylians serve as the living groups on either side. The homepage defines three evidence levels, but the extract does not include animal entries or demonstrate the resulting comparisons.
