Paleodb in the Paleobiology Database
| This is a template to generate links to the Paleobiology Database. It has been updated to allow linking to different record types, having initially been designed to link only to taxon pages.
N.B.: links created using the original format (two parameters, without a search term defined as parameter 1) will still link to a taxon page. UsageThe template takes three or four parameters:
Search termThe following search terms can be used as parameter 1, corresponding to the terms given in the Full Search drop-down menu on the Paleobiology Database website: CollectionTo link to a collection page, use the following format:
The code number for parameter 2 is found at the end of the URL; for example:

The code number for parameters 2 and 3 are found in the URL; for example:
The link text is usually the name of the formation being linked to; if left blank the template will display Formation. For example:
Time scaleTo link to a time scale page, use the following format:
The code number for parameter 2 is found at the end of the URL; for example:
The link text is usually the title of the time scale being linked to; if left blank the template will display Time scale. For example:
Time intervalTo link to a time scale page, use the following format:
