Dear colleagues,
Apologies to those who receive this announcement multiple times...
A group of U.S. paleontologists and educators are exploring the potential of big science databases, including the Paleobiology Database, to enhance geoscience education and research at ALL types of institutions. The Paleobiology Database (PBDB, www.paleobiodb.org) is an online database that stores information on when and where fossils occur throughout geologic time. It includes a variety of information such as taxonomy, abundance, ecological traits, and body size, all gathered from the scientific literature.
