Paleontology reconstructs the history of life from clues locked inside rocks — fossils, isotope ratios, and genetic sequences that reveal a story spanning 3.8 billion years. Five mass extinctions have reshaped the biosphere, continents have drifted across the globe, and organisms have scaled from microscopic cells to 30-metre sauropods, all governed by quantifiable physical and biological laws.
These simulations let you date fossils with radiometric decay curves, replay the timeline of mass extinctions, explore allometric scaling laws that governed dinosaur body size, watch continents reassemble into Pangaea, and build phylogenetic trees from trait matrices. Each tool turns deep time from an abstraction into a hands-on experiment.
