New Tool Lets You Trace Where Your Backyard Was 320 Million Years Ago

Paleolatitude.org has been upgraded with a global paleogeographic model spanning 320 million years of continental drift.

The update adds refreshed paleomagnetic data plus export and bulk-analysis tools for faster research workflows.

An example study used about 34,000 Upper Jurassic marine fossils to reconstruct past biodiversity patterns.

The tool helps scientists map modern sites to ancient latitudes and study how climate shaped life over time.
