More than a list of sites

The sites share a common backbone, so the whole network works like one trustworthy place. What you learn on one holds up and builds on the next.

01

Accurate, trustworthy science

Every site draws from the same vetted record of species, geologic time, and authorities. When the science is corrected, it updates everywhere at once, so you never have stale knowledge.

02

Original art, as accurate as it is beautiful

Reconstructions made by working paleoartists, grounded in the science and gorgeous to look at, not the same stock images recycled across the web.

03

Everything is interconnected

Follow a single thread across the network: find your favorite dinosaur and learn literally everything about it. Completely nerd out.

Built to be built on

The same components that power our own sites ship as a public library. Whether you publish, develop, or advertise, there is a way to plug in.

For publishers Coming soon

Embed the widgets, free to start

Museums, blogs, classrooms, and any website can drop a one-line embed and turn our species cards, video rails, and era timelines into rich content. Free for non-commercial use, with a premium subscription for commercial use and advanced features.

For developers Coming soon

Open-source npm packages

Build paleo-adjacent products on the same component library, design tokens, and taxonomy types we use ourselves. Open source, MIT licensed, framework-agnostic web components with a typed API client.

For partners Coming soon

Reach the paleo audience

Placements across owned and partner sites, and contextual sponsorship built into the widgets themselves. One audience this niche has never had consolidated before.

The Record

Occasional updates from across the Paleo Network: a heads-up when a new member site opens, the odd thing worth your time, and every so often a deeper look. Free, no fixed schedule, no filler.
