Description

The Database of Australasian Vertebrate Occurrences (DAVO) is a terrestrial, Cenozoic dataset collated in the 2000s by Dirk Megirian and Gavin Prideaux to develop the Australian Land Mammal Age biochronological scheme (Megirian et al. 2010, Paleobiology), primarily via an exhaustive literature review. Mammals were the main focus of the dataset, but it includes occurrence data for other vertebrates and terrestrial molluscs found in association with vertebrate fossils.
