You put a space between "https:" and "//", you should definitely remove
that. Also, you need to indent your description. Right now, your
DESCRIPTION is being interpreted in this manner:
```
Package
"neotoma2"
Title
"Working with the
Neotoma Paleoecology Database"
Date
"2023-04-17"
Version
"1.0.0"

Description
"Access and manipulation of data using the
Neotoma Paleoecology Database."
<https
"//
api.neotomadb.org/api-docs/>."
License
```
You can see that it is interpreting "<https" as the name of a field and "//
api.neotomadb.org/api-docs/>." as the contents of the field. I added 8
spaces before "<https:" and removed the space and it worked perfectly fine.
I hope this helps.
