Find fossil collections (localities) by area and geologic time — "what has been dug up here, and from what rock." Each locality returns its location, age (named interval and Ma), formation and strata, lithology, depositional environment, and the count of co-occurring fossils. Filter by a clade-inclusive base_name (or base_id, the same clade by resolved taxon id), a named interval or max_ma/min_ma range, a lng/lat bounding box, a formation or lithology name, and/or an environment. Results page inline via limit/offset (the response discloses when more remain). Take a collection_no from a row and pass it — or the same bbox+interval — to paleobiology_search_occurrences to see the actual fauna found together.
