The application enables the scientific community to use verified data to study (regional) biodiversity. Thus, Fossil Discovery will become a true citizen science and create a network of amateur and professional paleontologists. This application allows users to upload fossils and their data (e.g., locality/GPS-data, measurements, preservation) and get identification by volunteering experts. Improvements will be continuously and in collaboration with the FAU’s Pattern Recognition Lab.
