Macrostrat is part of a broad geoinformatics ecosystem. These are the systems and organizations we exchange data or identifiers with, and what flows in each direction. Systems that only consume our data are apps; organizations that fund the work are on the support page. Some appear in more than one place.
Systems and organizations
- Paleobiology Databasetwo-way
Fossil occurrences shown on the map and in columns; Macrostrat units and ages inform PBDB's stratigraphic context.
- xDDdata in
Literature mentions of geologic units and stratigraphic names, linked from unit and lexicon pages.
- EarthByte and GPlatesdata in
Plate rotation models and paleogeographic reconstructions used to place maps and columns in deep time.
Geochemical proxy records linked to Macrostrat's stratigraphic framework under the NSF Elements award.
- StraboSpottwo-way
Field data system; a shared open-source ecosystem under the NSF RISE award.
Source maps and metadata for much of the United States coverage.
The international chronostratigraphic chart, the backbone of Macrostrat's time model.
