The Neotoma Paleoecology Database is a global database of fossils from the last 5.2 million years. All fossil records in Neotoma are reported with metadata that places the sample in space and in time, and provides additional information about taxonomy, publication history, and the models that are used to estimate the sample age.
The API is structured to provide users with reliable JSON responses from the live Neotoma Database. Neotoma provides several tools to work with researcher submitted data:
Neotoma is funded by the National Sciences Foundation of the United States (Award 1948962).
Our institution is committed to the development of new modes of collaboration, engagement, and partnership with Indigenous peoples for the care and stewardship of past and future heritage collections.
Endpoints that access tables from Neotoma verbatim.
Information about chronological controls and the models used to add the temporal component to records.
Information about Neotoma data contributors, authors and data analysts.
Information about site location and metadata specific to the individual dataset.
Full dataset download, including all sample data for a particular dataset.
Information about the geopolitical units in which a site is located.
A simplified data return, similar to the data download, but specific to a particular taxon, time or location.
For ease of use in online applications, pre-calculated pollen percentages for taxa, location or temporal bins.
Formatted publication data related to Neotoma records.
All metadata associated with a particular site with fossil records.
All available information about a particular taxon.
Summary statistics for the database as a whole.
All API endpoints associated with v1.5 of the Neotoma API.
