summarize_fossil_range R Documentation
Summarize taxon age from PBDB to just a single min and max age
Description
This uses the Paleobiology Database's API to gather information on the ages for all specimens of a taxon. It will also look for all descendants of the taxon. It fixes name misspellings if possible. It is basically a wrapper for get_fossil_range.
Usage
summarize_fossil_range(taxon, recent = FALSE, assume_recent_if_missing = TRUE)
Arguments
taxon
The scientific name of the taxon you want the range of occurrences of
recent
If TRUE, forces the minimum age to be zero
assume_recent_if_missing
If TRUE, any taxon missing from pbdb is assumed to be recent
Value
a single row data.frame of max_ma and min_ma for the specimens, with rowname equal to taxon input
