There's a mismatch between the paleocoordinates when you search for a collection in the database versus when they're downloaded, i.e. the two are using different rotations. For example, PBDB collection # 34645 gives paleocoordinates of 31.1° N, 59.6° E if you search on PBDB (or Fossilworks), but if you download the collection you get 53.31º N, 83.24º E:

This is an extreme example as the collection is on a plate boundary, but presumably it affects all collections at least a small amount.
