Short summary
Building on the foundation of Palynodata, the Global Acritarch Database (GAD) added 29 new fields, 4531 new entries, 2 238 366 new metadata points, and 415 new references, resulting in a database comprising 115 860 entries, 43 fields, 3 050 852 metadata points, and 7791 references. GAD represents records from 1146 different sampling sites spanning geological history from the Precambrian to the Phanerozoic, and the fossil records include 1456 genera and 9865 species (excluding sp.).
