Understanding this collection

Browse field notes with corroborated fossil occurrences in modern North America. The Jurassic Morrison Formation and the Cretaceous western and eastern landmasses document different communities; today’s continental boundary is not an ancient habitat map.

Membership reflects corroborated modern discovery locations in the retained occurrence sample. It is not a complete fossil census or a map of ancient continents.
