palaeoverse - Prepare and Explore Data for Palaeobiological Analyses

Provides functionality to support data preparation and exploration for palaeobiological analyses, improving code reproducibility and accessibility. The wider aim of 'palaeoverse' is to bring the palaeobiological community together to establish agreed standards. The package currently includes functionality for data cleaning, binning (time and space), exploration, summarisation and visualisation. Reference datasets (i.e. Geological Time Scales <https://stratigraphy.org/chart>) and auxiliary functions are also provided. Details can be found in: Jones et al., (2023) <doi: 10.1111/2041-210X.14099>.

sepkoski - Sepkoski's Fossil Marine Animal Genera Compendium

Stratigraphic ranges of fossil marine animal genera from Sepkoski's (2002) published compendium. No changes have been made to any taxonomic names. However, first and last appearance intervals have been updated to be consistent with stages of the International Geological Timescale. Functionality for generating a plot of Sepkoski's evolutionary fauna is also included. For specific details on the compendium see: Sepkoski, J. J. (2002). A compendium of fossil marine animal genera. Bulletins of American Paleontology, 363, pp. 1–560 (ISBN 0-87710-450-6). Access: <https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/40634#page/5/mode/1up>.
