These systems hold site-based records that gain stratigraphic and age context from Macrostrat, and in turn enrich its units (see Linking data):
- the Paleobiology Database (fossil occurrences);
- the Sedimentary Geochemistry and Paleoenvironments Project (geochemical proxy records);
- ocean-drilling cores, compiled into Macrostrat columns through the eODP project;
- StraboSpot, a field data system with which Macrostrat shares an open-source software ecosystem.
Systems that only consume our data are apps; the sources Macrostrat builds on are providers.
Systems and organizations
- Paleobiology Database
Fossil occurrences shown on the map and in columns; Macrostrat units and ages inform PBDB's stratigraphic context.
- Sedimentary Geochemistry and Paleoenvironments Project
Geochemical proxy records linked to Macrostrat's stratigraphic framework under the NSF Elements award.
- StraboSpot
Field data system; a shared open-source ecosystem under the NSF RISE award.
Connect a system
If your data system shares ground with Macrostrat, in stratigraphic names, geologic time, map units, localities or literature, we would like to link up. Shared identifiers are the usual starting point. Write to us.
