Fossilworks was a portal which provides query, download, and analysis tools to facilitate access to the Paleobiology Database, a large relational database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists from around the world.
History
Fossilworks was created in 1998 by John Alroy and housed at Macquarie University. It included many analysis and data visualization tools formerly included in the Paleobiology Database.{{cite web|title=Frequently asked questions|url=http://www.fossilworks.org/cgi-bin/bridge.pl?page=FAQ|publisher=Fossilworks|access-date=17 December 2021|archive-date=18 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220518205516/http://www.fossilworks.org/cgi-bin/bridge.pl?page=FAQ|url-status=dead}}
