Finally! After the release of FossilDiscovery for Android, it is now also available for iOs users to download.
You will be able to discover the world of fossils, get information on deposits, upload your own fossils for identification, and interact with other hobby paleontologists and professionals.

"Ontogenetic sequences are relatively rare among dinosaurs, with Ceratopsia being one of the better represented clades, and especially among geologically earlier forms, such as Psittacosaurus. Psittacosaurus is a small, bipedal basal ceratopsian abundant in the Lower Cretaceous depos...
"Human-mediated changes in island vegetation are, among others, largely caused by the introduction and establishment of non-native species. However, data on past changes in non-native plant species abundance that predate historical documentation and censuses are scarce. Islands are among the few pl...
"The number of individuals of species varies, but estimating abundance, given incomplete and biased sampling in both contemporary and fossilized communities, is challenging. Here, we describe a new occupancy model in a hierarchical Bayesian framework with random effects, in which multispecies occup...
"Aims: Climate change is expected to have profound effects on species' distributions into the future. Freshwater fishes, an important component of freshwater ecosystems, are no exception. Here, we project shifts in suitable conditions for Australian freshwater fishes under different climate change ...
It's that time again! We are calling on the Paleo community to apply for one of our sponsored workshops. Do you have a good idea that will move paleontology forward? Then apply! More information can be found on our workshop website.
"Hybodont sharks were one of the most successful chondrichthyan lineages of all time, first occurring in the Devonian and becoming extinct in the Late Cretaceous. The end-Permian mass extinction had a limited effect on hybodont sharks, but there are fewer records of hybodonts in the Triassic than i...
The IRAL workshop has created a webpage which contains information for the public and the entire community. It will be updated throughout the project by the PI's. If you want to learn more visit Integrated Record of Ancient Life (integrated-record.github.io)
"The Rhaetian (latest Triassic) succession of Doniford Bay, North Somerset has been noted as a site of fossils for over 200 years, and yet has never been described in detail despite its importance for palaeontology, for knowledge of a classic Triassic-to-Jurassic transition sequence, for structural...
"The history of Earth’s biodiversity is punctuated episodically by mass extinctions. These are characterized by major declines of taxon richness, but the accompanying ecological collapse has rarely been evaluated quantitatively. The Permian-Triassic mass extinction (PTME; ∼252 mya), as the greatest...
