PaleoBase provides an important new tool for the teaching
of life history in a wide variety of advanced secondary,
undergraduate, and graduate courses (e.g., paleontology, historical
geology, stratigraphy, paleoceanography, paleobiogeography).
Instructors will find the database a rich resource for
lecture presentations, discussions, and laboratory exercises.
Students will find PaleoBase an invaluable addition
to traditional textbooks, and a key reference source for basic
systematic paleontology.
