pbdb_strata(...)
Arguments
... |
Arguments passed to the API. See documentation for
accepted parameters at
https://paleobiodb.org/data1.2/strata/list. E.g.:
-
name : A full or partial name. You can use % and _ as wildcards.
-
rank : Returns only strata of the specified rank: "formation" ,
"group" or "member" .
-
lngmin : Numeric. The longitude boundaries will be normalized to
fall between -180 and 180. Note that if you specify lngmin then
you must also specify lngmax . Returns only records whose
geographic location falls within the given bounding box (defined
by lngmin , lngmax , latmin , latmax ). It generates two
adjacent bounding boxes if the range crosses the antimeridian.
-
lngmax : Numeric. The longitude boundaries will be normalized to
fall between -180 and 180.
-
latmin : Numeric between -90 and 90. Note that if you specify
latmin then you must also specify latmax .
-
latmax : Numeric between -90 and 90.
-
loc : Return only strata associated with some occurrence whose
geographic location falls within the specified geometry,
specified in WKT format.
-
vocab : Set to "pbdb" to show the complete name of the
variables (by default variables have short 3-letter names).

Value
A data frame with information from the selected strata.
