Description

We have developed mapast (MAp the PAST), an R-package designed to make paleontolgical maps available to visualise the fossil occurrences from the Paleobiology Database onto their corresponding maps and analyse them. We programmed functions for getting the SpatialPolygonsDataFrame of the paleontological maps, functions to modify the fossil occurrences data.frame from the Paleobiology Database and getting the paleocoordinates, functions for analysing the fossil diversity of the past and plotting the fossil occurrences data on the corresponding paleogeographical maps.
