The Neotoma Paoeocology Database houses data from the recent fossil record for many taxonomic groups: plus geochemistry and isotopes. To manage this high diversity of scientific disciplines, Neotoma utilizes their own data stewards, and trains others within the community. This presentation outlines their curation process and training opportunities for contributors.
