Introduction

The Digital Atlas of Ancient Life began as a digitization project funded by the PaleoNiches Thematic Collection Network (TCN), a series of interconnected National Science Foundation grants to multiple principle investigators. It was later funded by the Cretaceous World TCN. In the beginning, the project was envisioned as a series of Digital Atlases (field guides) covering different regions of the United States during specific time periods. The Ordovician, Pennsylvanian, Cretaceous, and Neogene Atlases are some of the outcomes of this funding. A series of teaching resources (exercises) related to the four Digital Atlases were also developed for different grade levels.

Beginning in 2017, new pieces began to be added to the umbrella Digital Atlas of Ancient Life homepage, including the Digital Encyclopedia of Ancient Life (DEAL) and the Virtual Collection. Additionally, a Digital Atlas of Ancient Life App and Digital Atlas Identify App were developed.

The page below provides some information for each component of the expanded Digital Atlas of Ancient Life project, except for the apps (for information on the apps, see the Apps page). This includes the goals, licensing information, suggestions for citation, and publications, presentations, and other media about the projects. Background is also provided on the TCNs that initially funded for the Digital Atlas project. Finally, some of the citations and uses of Digital Atlas resources are listed.

Digital Atlases (field guides)

The original goal of the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life (DAoAL) project was to provide free resources to help individuals identify and better understand fossil species from particular regions and time intervals. Four Digital Atlases have been developed covering different time periods and regions of the United States:

Cretaceous Atlas of Ancient Life: Western Interior Seaway
Digital Atlas of Ordovician Life: Exploring the Fauna of the Cincinnati Region
Neogene Atlas of Ancient Life: Southeastern United States
Pennsylvanian Atlas of Ancient Life: Midcontinental United States

Each Digital Atlas is akin to the types of field guides that naturalists might use to identify bird or plant species. The data underlying each Digital Atlas are derived from specimens in museum collections that have been "digitized."

Why Digitize? from iDigBio on Vimeo.

One aspect of digitization involves converting written descriptions of fossil localities associated with specimens (e.g., "found 4 miles north of Miller’s Crossing") into precise latitude-longitude values that can be "pin-pointed" on maps using geographic information systems (GIS). This process is called georeferencing. Another aspect of digitization is to capture digital images of fossil specimens and share these with the public. This digitization effort will allow researchers to ask new questions of old data. For example, it will now become possible to track how species geographic ranges changed over time in response to environmental changes.

Virtual Collection

The Digital Atlas Virtual Collection is a teaching collection of 3D models of fossil specimens that were made using photogrammetry. Most of the models posted so far were produced by Emily Hauf and Jaleigh Pier, and collections were curated (organized, labels applied to specimens) primarily by Jonathan Hendricks, with Elizabeth Hermsen co-curating the land plant collections. The models are organized into virtual drawers—mostly by organism—on the Digital Atlas website. They are also organized into themed collections on Sketchfab. The Virtual Collection was first posted in 2019, and updates will be made periodically.

Use of Virtual Collection models

The models produced for the Virtual Collection are licensed using a Creative Commons 0 1.0/Public Domain Dedication, meaning that they are free to use without restriction. Sketchfab provides code so that models can be embedded in external websites. Please credit the models to Digital Atlas of Ancient Life.

Citing the Virtual Collection

If you would like to cite the entire Virtual Collection, you should cite the URL (https://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org/vc/). Currently, there are no publications that describe the Virtual Collection; however, several presentations have been given on the project that may be cited. There are also several blog posts written by contributors to the project, which may be adequate citations in some contexts.

TCN projects supporting the Digital Atlas

Two “Thematic Collections Networks” (TCNs)–funded by the National Science Foundation’s Advancing Digitization of Biological Collections (ADBC) program and organized by Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio)–have or are continuing to provide digitized data in support of the Digital Atlas Project:

The Cretaceous World: Digitizing Fossils to Reconstruct Evolving Ecosystems in the Western Interior Seaway

Castle Rock, Gove County, Kansas: an outcropping of Cretaceous rock formed when Kansas and much of the central North America was covered by an ancient ocean.

Between 65 and 100 million years ago, during the time that dinosaurs walked the earth, a large, tropical seaway covered the central part of what is now North America. This seaway teemed with marine life. Snails and clams lived on the seafloor; ammonites, along with giant mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, sharks, and fish, swam about; at the same time early birds and pterosaurs floated on or flew above the seaway.

What remains today is a prolific fossil record that has been collected by paleontologists for over 100 years. Notable fossils from this time period and region are on display at museums around the world. However, the vast bulk of fossils collected from this region are locked away in museum drawers. To provide scientists and the general public access to these fossils and their associated data, this project proposes to digitize invertebrate and vertebrate fossils from this time period and region, making information accessible through searchable electronic databases. Additionally, a variety of online resources illustrating and describing these fossils and mapping their distributions will be developed. A freely accessible online textbook of paleontology--the Digital Encyclopedia of Ancient Life--will be generated and a website and App will be developed to highlight the appearances, occurrences, and ages of constituent species, to help students and aspiring paleontologists identify and learn about these fossils. The project plans to generate a variety of curricular materials for K-12 education, including 3-D scans of fossils for free download and printed 3-D models for classroom use. Products of this project will also include workshops to engage science teachers and items to augment public programs and exhibits at participating institutions.

This work will greatly increase the scientific value of eight major U.S. museum collections of fossils (see list of partners below). The museum collections contain large amounts of data useful for studying what causes marine species to migrate, go extinct, and evolve during a long period of greenhouse climate conditions similar to those our planet may soon experience. These data have relevance for evaluating how global change has and will continue to affect life on earth. An estimated 164,000 specimens collected from thousands of locations, in the region once occupied by the Western Interior Seaway, will be databased and georeferenced. Representatives from each of roughly 1,500 microfossil, invertebrate, and vertebrate species will be imaged. The digitized records will be made available online via individual museum databases, iDigBio, and iDigPaleo. The resultant data will enable scientists to answer questions about how different species interact and ecosystems change in the face of environmental shifts during a key time in the history of life. Moreover, the data will be ideal for use with an assortment of modern quantitative tools -including paleoecological niche modeling (PaleoENM) - and will help improve paleoclimate and paleoceanographic models. Finally, several undergraduate and graduate students will be trained.

The Cretaceous World digitization project began in July 2016 and is now complete. Participant institutions and principal investigators include:

Digitizing Fossils to Enable New Syntheses in Biogeography – Creating a PALEONICHES-TCN

Early Pleistocene mollusk fossils from Florida.

Museum collections of fossils, along with their associated locality data, provide millions of records representing data on the temporal and geographic distribution of species in deep time. However, to reach their greatest scientific potential, these collections data need to be available on-line and in a format that facilitates quantitative biogeographic analyses.

Through the PaleoNiches-TCN, information about the age and precise location of thousands of fossil specimens from parts of several key paleontological collections (see below) have been entered into electronic databases. During this process, computer programs for collections were enhanced to allow paleontological specimens to be integrated with modern specimen data, thereby benefiting research on the distributions of organisms over time. Through our efforts, tens of thousands of specimens belonging to hundreds of species from three intervals of time--the Ordovician, Pennsylvanian, and Neogene--were digitized. Further, the PaleoNiches-TCN initiated the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life project (see above). An 'app' was also created so that information from these Digital Atlases can be used on handheld devices out in the field (access the app at the Apple App Store).

The museum collections and fossils digitized as part of the PaleoNiches-TCN provide large amounts of data useful for studying what causes species to migrate, go extinct, or evolve over long time periods. They are of great relevance for considering how global change has and will continue to affect life on this planet. The PaleoNiches-TCN makes these data available online (iDigBio) and accessible to scientists, facilitating many scientific analyses. The online and portable device Digital Atlases are useful for educating amateur paleontologists and K-12 students about fossils both in classrooms and in the field. The project has also provided training to university students and scholars. This project was supported as part of the National Resource for Digitization of Biological Collections through the Advancing Digitization of Biological Collections program at the National Science Foundation and all data resulting from this award are available through the iDigBio portal.

The PaleoNiches digitization project began in 2012 and is now complete. Participant institutions and principal investigators include:
