Help National Museums of Kenya to transcribe vertebrate fossil specimen cards into a database

Cradle of Humanity

Can you help us transcribe vertebrate fossil specimen cards into a database? For your convenience, we have split the tasks into more manageable workflows. We recommend that you'll begin with the Specimen Numbers. It will familiarise you with the material we have, and it also will help us to get started with the database creation. In Specimen Taxonomy, we will ask the Latin names of the specimens. It will help us to classify the fossils. Location and stratigraphy workflow will specify where the fossil came from and how old it may be. The Nature of Specimen workflow asks which bone or tooth the fossil is. This workflow requires special attention to the teeth of the upper and lower jaw. Please read the Tutorial. The Additional info workflow helps us to know, for example, the publication in which the specimen is described.
