All BGS Raw Biostratigraphy Collections And Data

A comprehensive collection of British fossil specimens and records compiled over 150 years of palaeontological collecting and research. Also includes all associated paper data, registers, indexes of locality and storage and reports of conclusions. The specimens have variable scattered coverage mostly within the UK and Ireland but there are some overseas data. Some specimens are sited accurately to less than 1 metre, whilst some specimens have accuracies of several kilometres. Includes both locality based biostratigraphic material, plus significant type, figured and cited samples of taxonomic importance. Specimens collected by Survey geologists throughout history of Survey, with some donated specimens (e.g. the Geological Society of London Collection) predating 1835, material is still being added. The collection includes hand specimens, casts & moulds, microfossil slides & cut sections and also registers containing identifications and locality information. The specimens have various uses within biostratigraphy and taxonomy. The data have key attribute data such as locality, stratigraphic age, matrix lithology, taxonomy, etc that could be used for linking in other datasets. Access and use of the data is subject to current policies, inline with MDA's (Museum Documentation Association) Spectrum guidelines and MLA's (Museum Libraries Archives Council) Accreditation guidelines. The collection can be viewed by loan or visit, whilst copies of the associated paper data can be made available as photocopy, scan, spreadsheet, etc., subject to certain constraints and conditions.

本数据集为一套详尽的英国古生物标本及记录汇编，历经150余年的古生物学收集与研究编纂而成。此外，还包含了所有相关的论文数据、登记册、地点索引、存储报告以及结论报告。标本的分布范围广泛，主要集中于英国和爱尔兰境内，但也包含部分海外数据。部分标本定位精确，误差小于1米，而部分标本的精度可达数公里。数据集涵盖了基于地点的生物地层学材料，以及具有重要分类学意义的典型、图示和引用样本。这些标本由历史长河中的调查地质学家收集，其中一些捐赠标本（例如，伦敦地质学会收藏）可追溯至1835年之前，且新材料仍在不断补充。该收藏包括手标本、铸模与模具、微化石切片与切割样本，以及包含鉴定和地点信息的登记册。这些标本在生物地层学和分类学领域具有多种用途。数据中包含了关键的属性数据，如地点、地层时代、基质岩性、分类学等，可用于与其他数据集的链接。数据的访问和使用受现行政策约束，遵循博物馆文档协会（Museum Documentation Association，简称MDA）的Spectrum指南以及博物馆图书馆档案馆委员会（Museum Libraries Archives Council，简称MLA）的认证指南。该收藏可通过借阅或参观的方式进行查阅，而相关论文数据的副本可通过复印、扫描、电子表格等形式提供，但需遵守特定限制和条件。
