PaleoBase: Macrofossils is the first product from the
PaleoBase project, and will be released in three Parts. It will
consist of approximately 1000 generic records drawn from the major
invertebrate groups. The genera have been carefully selected to
include taxa used in the teaching of paleontology and historical
geology worldwide. Together they represent the ideal fossil
collection; one that in practice only the largest natural history
museums could hope to assemble. PaleoBase: Macrofossils
gives educators, students and researchers access to a virtual
collection of these fossils - many of which are actual figured
specimens from the 19th and 20th century technical publications
that served to originally establish the concepts of these
genera.
