Neotoma Database API Claimed & Verified

Neotoma is funded by the *National Sciences Foundation* of the United States ([Award 1948962](https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1948926)). The [Neotoma Paleoecology Database](https://www.neotomadb.org) is a global database of fossils from the last 5.2 million years. All fossil records in Neotoma are reported with metadata that places the sample in space and in time, and provides additional information about taxonomy, publication history, and the models that are used to estimate the sample age. The API is structured to provide users with reliable JSON responses from the live Neotoma Database. Neotoma provides several tools to work with researcher submitted data: * [Neotoma Explorer](https://apps.neotomadb.org/explorer): A visual, interactive data explorer. * [neotoma2 R package](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/neotoma2/index.html): A tool for obtaining and manipulating paleoecological data in R. <a href=https://localcontextshub.org/institutions/view/122/><img alt="Local Contexts Open to Collaborate Logo" src=https://storage.googleapis.com/local-contexts-hub.appspot.com/labels/notices/ci-open-to-collaborate.svg width=50 style="align:center;"/></a> <p>Our institution is committed to the development of new modes of collaboration, engagement, and partnership with Indigenous peoples for the care and stewardship of past and future heritage collections.
