项目摘要
The paleobotanical collection at the Denver Museum of Natural History (DMNH) is an important national and regional resource for research on the nature of vegetation and climate in the Western Interior of North America. There are approximately 26,000 specimens in the collection including four type specimens and a number of significant assemblages from the Late Cretaceous, Paleocene, and Eocene. Highlights include superb collections from Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary sections in North America and New Zealand. Most of the collection (89%) has been amassed since 1991 and, as such, is associated with precise and reliable locality and stratigraphic data. This collection represents the fourth largest collection of Late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary plant fossils form the Western Interior, and the only such collection located in the Western Interior. Since 1991, the Department of Earth Sciences (DES) at DMNH has had a commitment to the acquisition, storage, and study of paleobotanical specimens. In 1991, a full-time courator was hired and since then the Museum has supported research, fieldwork, collections management, and collections storage. In the past four years, nearly 24,000 specimens have been added to the collection, and nearly 3,000 specimens have been catalogued and housed in steel cabinets. In addition to Paleobotany Curator, the Department has a Vertebrate Paleontology Curator, a Collections Manager, two Preparators, and a Registrar who are devoted to work on the paleobotanical and vertebrate fossil collections. Although recent DMNH support has improved the condition of the collection considerably, approximately 78 percent of the collection remains housed in cardboard boxes, and all of the collection is stored in an inadequate space behind exhibit dioramas. The collection is presently at risk form water damage and access-related handling problems. In 1993, DES received a grant form the NSF to improve its collection of vertebrate fossils. This grant is nearing completion and most of the vertebrate fossils will soon be archivally stored and accessible. Rearrangement of DES storage space due to the installation of vertebrate fossil compactors and the acquisition of new space presents an opportunity to build an adjacent compactor unit for fossil plants. This project will assist in housing the paleobotanical collection in steel cabinets in a compactor system. The goal of this effort is to preserve the collection so that it is available for research and to allow for continued growth of the collection. Primary needs are for steel cabinets and drawers, a compactor system, and additional personnel to label and move the specimens.
丹佛自然历史博物馆(DMNH)的古植物收藏是研究北美西部内陆植被和气候性质的重要国家和区域资源。 大约有26,000个标本,包括四个模式标本和一些重要的组合,来自晚白垩世,古新世和始新世。 亮点包括来自北美和新西兰的第三纪-第三纪边界部分的精湛收藏。 大部分藏品(89%)是自1991年以来收集的,因此与精确可靠的地点和地层数据有关。 该化石群是西部内陆地区第四大的晚白垩世和早第三纪植物化石群,也是唯一一个位于西部内陆地区的化石群。 自1991年以来,DMNH地球科学系(DES)一直致力于古植物标本的采集,储存和研究。 1991年,聘请了一名全职顾问,从那时起,博物馆一直支持研究,实地考察,藏品管理和藏品存储。 在过去的四年里,近24,000个标本被添加到收藏中,近3,000个标本被编目并存放在钢柜中。 除了古植物学策展人,该部门有一个古脊椎动物策展人,一个收藏经理,两个鉴定人,和一个注册谁是致力于古植物学和脊椎动物化石收藏的工作。 虽然最近DMNH的支持大大改善了收藏品的状况,但大约78%的收藏品仍然被安置在纸板箱中,所有的收藏品都被存放在展览立体模型后面的不足空间中。 收藏品目前面临水损坏和与访问有关的处理问题的风险。 1993年,DES获得了美国国家科学基金会的资助,以改善其脊椎动物化石的收集。 这项拨款已接近完成,大部分脊椎动物化石将很快被存档储存和访问。 由于脊椎动物化石压缩机的安装和新空间的获得,DES存储空间的重新安排为建造化石植物的相邻压缩机单元提供了机会。 该项目将协助将古植物学收藏品安置在一个压缩机系统的钢柜中。 这一努力的目标是保存收藏,以便可用于研究,并允许收藏的持续增长。 主要需求是钢柜和抽屉,压实系统,以及额外的人员来标记和移动标本。
