The initial phase of database population has concentrated on the types of macrofossil species held in British collections and where the species are found in the UK. We are now happy to include entries for the types of any macrofossils, wherever they originate from and wherever they are held.
Additions to the database may be made by any official curator at any recognised institution anywhere in the world. Please contact the GB3D Type Fossils Online project manager, Dr Mike Howe, for a password and account. Arrangements are available for bulk loading data.
A form is available for our accredited partners to upload files to us here.
