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
The Ministry for Science, Research and the Arts in Baden-Württemberg supported inventory, digitalisation and online access of the collections. Technical support is provided by the IT Center of the Staatliche Naturwissenschaftliche Sammlungen Bayerns within the projects BiNHum (Biodiversity Network of the Humboldt-Ring) and GFBio (German Federation for the Curation of Biological Data), both funded by the German Research Foundation DFG.
