App Description
Helps you finding places where specified fossils were found in your surrounding.
Fossil Finder helps you explore fossil sites. It extracts data from the Paleobiology Database (paleobiodb.org), which are already publicly available. These in turn are compiled from published and accessible literature. The data are then combined with images from Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio). Pictures in the logo were contributed by Rodolfo Nogueira.The application is the best way for paleontologists and hobby fossil collectors to find fossils in their vicinity.
