Bournemouth Fossil Footprint Archive (NERC grant NE/H004211/1)

A range of footprint data collected specifically as part of a Natural Environment Research Grant [NE/H004211/1] held jointly between Bournemouth University (Professor Matthew Bennett) and Liverpool University (Professor Robin Crompton). A directory for each of the field sites investigated by the research team, as well as modern data from various laboratory and field simulations. Scans of individual footprints are an ASCII format, each of which contains the X, Y and Z for a digital elevation model. In most cases there is a site map in PDF format providing a key to the prints and file names. In some cases jpeg thumb nails of the scans are also provided. Most directories contain a PDF text file of additional information detailing the equipment used, collection methods, and precision/accuracy of the data, along with any available academic references.

本数据集收录了一系列为自然环境研究资助项目[NE/H004211/1]所收集的足迹数据，该项目由博恩茅斯大学（马修·贝内特教授）和利物浦大学（罗宾·克罗马顿教授）联合承担。数据集包含了研究团队调查的每个实地考察地点的目录，以及来自实验室和实地模拟的现代数据。个体足迹的扫描结果以 ASCII 格式呈现，每个文件均包含数字高程模型的 X、Y 和 Z 坐标。在大多数情况下，提供了一个 PDF 格式的场地图，其中包含了对足迹和文件名的说明。在某些情况下，还提供了扫描图像的 JPEG 缩略图。大多数目录中还包括了 PDF 格式的文本文件，详细说明了所使用的设备、收集方法以及数据的精度/准确性，并附有任何可用的学术参考文献。
