Selected source-backed records

Maps use curated PBDB, museum, and specimen-source records with visible caveats.

Modern discovery locations

Pins show where fossils were found or reported today, not exact ancient habitat positions.

Trust note

Reconstruction is not evidence

Artwork is labeled separately from specimen photos, maps, and source records.
