South Australian Museum Marine Invertebrates Collection

The South Australian Museum holds one of the most significant historical collections of Australian molluscs in the world. The collections of Marine Invertebrates are the most diverse and complex of any collections in the Museum, currently represented by 23 phyla. Although some of these phyla are relatively small in terms of species numbers, about half are large, diverse groups. It is estimated that the collection consists of over 1.5 million specimens and includes over 100000 specimen lots in spirit, a dry collection housed in 2700 drawers, some 1400 microscope slides, 2672 primary types, 9979 secondary types, some 35000 registered lots and a photo index collection of 4793 images. Data downloaded from ALA (http://collections.ala.org.au/public/show/co165) and taxa have been matched to World Register of Marine Spscies.南澳大利亚博物馆（South Australian Museum）藏有全球最具影响力的澳大利亚软体动物历史馆藏之一。该馆的海洋无脊椎动物（marine invertebrates）馆藏是全馆最多样化、最复杂的馆藏类群，目前涵盖23个动物门（phylum）。尽管其中部分门类的物种数量相对有限，但约有半数属于物种丰富、多样性突出的类群。据估算，该馆藏总计包含超过150万件标本，其中包括10万余件液浸标本、存放于2700个抽屉中的干制标本馆藏、约1400张显微镜玻片、2672份正模标本、9979份副模标本、约35000个登记标本批次，以及包含4793张图像的照片索引馆藏。 本数据集下载自ALA（Atlas of Living Australia，http://collections.ala.org.au/public/show/co165），其中的分类单元已与世界海洋物种登记册（World Register of Marine Species）完成匹配。
