Time Control

The age-window is currently set to: top=0Ma base=800Ma with normal taxa sorting

What does this do?

Our system contains taxa from a wide range of geological time. So, if you are specifically interested in one time period - e.g. the present day, or Paleocene, or Early Cretaceous - then it will be easier if it is clear which taxa are present in that time interval. To do this, you can set an age-window using the tools above.

When an age-window is set

• Taxon names will be coloured dark blue if they occur in the age-window and, coloured olive green if they don't.
• Taxa can also be sorted on tables, with taxa that occur in the age-window appearing first (use checkbox below).
