Abstract
FossilPlot is a new Excel-based spreadsheet application of the Sepkoski Compendium designed for educational use in paleontology and historical geology courses. This free software allows students to compile any combination of marine animal genera to generate graphs depicting diversity curves and stratigraphic ranges for the Phanerozoic. Sample exercises are provided to show how this software can be integrated into lecture, lab and field studies in university-level paleontology courses. The large volume and full accessibility of the dataset gives instructors a versatile tool to enhance active learning of the dynamic history of life.
