Paleontological Data

GOMsmart includes Paleo Data on 12,000+ wells on which paleontological analysis reports have been released by BOEM. These include 95,000+ individual picks providing the Depth, Marker identified, Time and Environment Interpretation, and information about the confidence of the interpretations.
Data Updates
The Paleontological Data database is updated monthly.

Maps
Paleo data are not directly mapped, but can be accessed via mapped Wells.

Reports
Single-Feature Reports:
Easily create a Paleontology detail or summary report for each Well.
Multi-Feature Reports:
A Paleo Observation report can be generated by Age and Observation (Paleo Fossil) or by Observation only.
