Jake in the desert

This interactive website called Ancient Earth made by Ian Webster for The Dinosaur Database in 2018 is wild. It has a 3D view of Earth you can manipulate - you can grab the Earth and move it in any direction, zoom, etc.

You enter a location in the search field, it marks it with a 📍 and then you can change the date to see what fossils or dinosaurs were in an area (your area!) through all different periods of history.
