Paleonet: requesting of fossils records

[Wolfgang Kiessling]

Good point. There sure is some taxonomic noise in the database, especially for those groups for which the current contributors lack taxonomic expertise. 

But of course everybody is free to join the PaleoDB and update obsolete data (http://paleodb.org/cgi-bin/bridge.pl?user=Guest&action=displayPage&page=join_us). This would be a great service to the community.

Best

Wolfgang

> Your first search should always be the Paleobiology Database (http://paleodb.org). All your genera are in there with multiple records and distributional information.

Of course but for several genera at least for Brachiopods like for ex. Lingula and Glottidia, the Paleodb is not updated and get some wrong information.
Cross information is also available at http://paleopolis.rediris.es/Brachiopoda_Phoronida_databases/
and BrachNet http://paleopolis.rediris.es/BrachNet/
