The Collection
The dataset "Fossil Lower Vertebrates" features a small subsample of the total collection of fossil fishes, amphibians, reptiles and birds housed at the Staatliches Museum fr Naturkunde Stuttgart. Figured and type specimens make up the majority of the dataset. These include historical specimens from the 1700s and 1800s, as well as more recent acquisitions. The dataset consists primarily of material collected from Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Data Project and Service
