Abstract
Abstract The Miocene Mammal Mapping Project (MIOMAP), a relational database of all published mammalian vertebrate localities between 30 and 5 million years old from the western United States, is now online for use by the paleontological community. The database is housed at the University of California at Berkeley, served through the Berkeley Natural History Museums, and accessible via the University of California Museum of Paleontology website. Here we outline the salient features of the database to facilitate its use and provide the information needed for users to adapt the data to their own needs. Online queries of the database can be accessed via http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/miomap and made through HTML forms or an interactive map created using open source MapServer 4.0 software and Google Earth™. We also highlight past work done using the database and some of its potential applications.
