Welcome to Fossilworks
Fossilworks provides query, download, and analysis tools that utilize the Paleobiology Database 's large relational database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists from around the world. The two websites and their predecessors have been used by professional researchers, students, and the public since 1998. The Fossilworks copy is refreshed daily. The data are owned by the contributors and the website and software were created by John Alroy . The site is housed at Macquarie University .
