Brief description

FosSahul is the first database compiling the ages of nonhuman vertebrate fossils from the Middle Pleistocene to the present in the Sahul region. It includes comprehensive metadata with ratings of reliability allocated to each fossil age. Because ecological and evolutionary phenomena are time-dependent, the entire range of archaeological and palaeontological research disciplines benefit from the availability of this data.

Lineage

Data Creation
Data were first collated from the primary literature (core papers). Then additional information was included by cross-referencing, and accessing, literature cited in the core papers. Finally we scrutinized the full set of literature sources in AustArch database http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1027216 for fauna records associated with dated archaeological remains. Throughout, we contacted the authors responsible for publishing fossil ages when clarification was required.

Progress Code: completed

Notes

Credit
We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
Purpose
ARC Discovery Grant - DP130103842 : The record of extinctions over deep time is patchy and incomplete, yet we must use it to determine how major changes in past environments have shaped life on Earth today. The project develops cutting-edge mathematical tools to determine the patterns of extinctions and speciation over geological time to help predict our uncertain environmental future.
