Cladograms and stratigraphy
This data base contains results of tests to compare cladograms with stratigraphy. You can read more about the methods and results in the introductory introductory section, and the raw data are listed according to major group of organisms. The data sets have been updated to include the 1000 cladograms and molecular trees assessed for fit to stratigraphy by Benton et al. (2000).
