Part 1

1. Use the paleobioDB package to retrieve data
2. Use the paleobioDB package to visualize dinosaur distribution
3. Use the paleobioDB package to visualize focus on Dromaeosauridae and Tyrannosauridae.

So in the R version you are using the pbdb package to gather the data. The reason you did this is because it is the quickest way you found to get the data? Correct? Then once you got the data you wanted to start visualizing dinosaur family data on a map. Which is great, I just think you don't need to loop through all of it. Then below it seems like you then want to visualize

It might be best to order it this way:

1. download all the data : do something with it. A few Visualizations. I added two.
2. Start to focus on just Dromaeosauridae and Tyrannosauridae. You can either subset the big data table and/or do what you already did, use the function.
3. Then do a little more concerning the distribution.
