Hi there friends!
A while back Pete Sadler and I did some work looking at the record of eukaryotic diversity in the first two periods of the Neoproterozoic Era. (that paper can be found here) To do those analyses I created a spreadsheet of all of the eukaryotic fossil occurrences from that interval that I could find in the literature (of any language). This also includes the taxonomic decisions I made and indicates any synonymies. Pete and I plan to keep working on this and expanding the dataset to cover the last period of the Neoproterozoic- the Ediacaran- as well as digging back into the Mesoproterozoic Era. In the meantime, I’d like this database to be available to anyone who wants it and in a more user-friendly format than the pdf version I was allowed to upload as a supplementary file with the publication. Please use and enjoy and if you have any comments or suggestions, let me know!
