Fossilworks was shut down around 2022 and now links to the Paleobiology Database.

Is it possible to do something like this for native American tribes as well?

This is cool but it shows where tribes are now, not where they were before removal.

That is at least really interesting thank you

Not quite as advertised. Just a list of relevant fossil sites and publications. Very useful for a researcher, I’m sure, but not just a list of species for your area.

searching my country, browsing collections

Stylophora
 Mitrata - Kirkocystidae Anatifopsis sp.
Artiopoda
 Lichida - Lichida indet.
 Trinucleida - Raphiophoridae Lonchodomas sp.
 Asaphida - Remopleurididae Remopleurides sp.

so are these... dinosaurs? What am I looking at?

Did Lemmy Science Memes give fossilworks.org the hug of death or was this posted somewhere big today too?

I live about 10 miles from where the first Stegosaurus was found, which also means there was Apatosaurus, Camarasaurus, Allosaurus, T. Rex, Triceratops, Brontosaurus/Brachiosaurus, etc
