The Fossil Record 2 is a
near-complete listing of the diversity of life through time,
compiled at the level of the family. Search any name in the database or search by family name or select
families by stratigraphic range, kingdom, habitat, phylum, chapter or other names - or select by stratigraphic
range in which the families lived.
The Fossil Record 2 database (Benton, M. J. (Ed.) 1993, Chapman & Hall, London. 845 pp.)
is originally compiled in Excel by Dr. Mary Benton, WWW work by Dilshat Hewzulla.

Paleogeoarthropoda is referring to all non-marine arthropods (i.e., from brackish, freshwater, and terrestrial environments), including chelicerata (xiphosura, eurypterida and "arachnids"), euthycarcinoidea, myriapoda, hexapoda (insecta and others), and some crustaceans.
