Returns a list of strata matching the given prefix or partial name. This can be used to implement auto-completion for strata names, and can be limited by geographic location if desired.
pbdb_strata_auto(...)A data frame with information from the strata that match
the name parameter.
Arguments passed to the API. See documentation for accepted parameters at https://paleobiodb.org/data1.2/strata/auto. E.g.:
name: A full or partial name. It must have at least 3
significant characters, and may end in a space followed by either
'g' or 'f' to indicate that you are looking for a group or
formation.
rank: Return only strata of the specified rank: "formation"
or "group". This may be overridden by a suffix on the value of
name.
lngmin: Numeric. The longitude boundaries will be normalized to
fall between -180 and 180. Note that if you specify lngmin then
you must also specify lngmax. Returns only records whose
geographic location falls within the given bounding box (defined
by lngmin, lngmax, latmin, latmax). It generates two
adjacent bounding boxes if the range crosses the antimeridian.
lngmax: Numeric. The longitude boundaries will be normalized to
fall between -180 and 180.
latmin: Numeric between -90 and 90. Note that if you specify
latmin then you must also specify latmax.
latmax: Numeric between -90 and 90.
vocab: Set to "pbdb" to show the complete name of the
variables (by default variables have short 3-letter names).
if (FALSE) {
pbdb_strata_auto(name = "Pin", vocab = "pbdb")
}
