Digital Atlas Apps
A pair of free mobile apps from the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life project that let users browse offline fossil field guides and submit photos of specimens for taxonomic identification by professional paleontologists.
Why it stands out
Built by a National Science Foundation-funded consortium of university and museum paleontology collections, it works offline in the field and routes user-submitted fossil photos to real expert paleontologists rather than an algorithm.
