Introduction

The fossil collections held by Dinosaur Isle are of local, national and international importance. In places the fossil fauna, and flora, of the Isle of Wight is unique; and a number of the geological exposures are protected under law by listing as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), or by identification as a Regionally Important Geological site (RIG). A number of fossils from the Isle of Wight have become the master, or type, specimen and have appeared in research papers or other publications. Other specimens have been considered important enough for researchers to publish detailed works. The former Museum of Isle of Wight Geology published a paper catalogue of these important specimens some years ago. Now the catalogue has been updated, and for the first time will be available on-line. If you wish to publish on one of our specimens please contact the Curator (details below).

About the catalogues

Welcome

Ten years have passed since the publication of the first ever Type, Figured and Cited Specimens list of the Isle of Wight Council Geological Collection (Radley, 1996). Since then the collections have continued to increase in size and most importantly many new additions have been of sufficient importance to warrant publication. Furthermore, the publication of Dinosaurs of the Isle of Wight (Martill and Naish, 2001) resulted in the figuring of 64 specimens from the collection. The net result is that in the ten year period the number of status specimens have grown from 65 to 228.

Published catalogues by J.F. Jackson (1925, 1928, 1929, 1930a, 1930b, 1933, 1938) remain an excellent secondary source of information on our collections. We anticipate these being available as pdf’s on the museum website in the near future, courtesy of the Isle of Wight Natural History and Archaeological Society. These have been augmented by the published list as an appendix in Martill and Naish (2001) also available as a pdf on the website, courtesy of the Palaeontological Association. Furthermore, we hope to provide an update of that list next year also on this website.

Specimens in the collection have two prefixes, MIWG and IWCMS. These have occasionally been miss-quoted in publications. As a guide an MIWG will be followed by a full stop then a number, IWCMS by a full stop a year date, full stop then a number (e.g. IWCMS.1994.100). MIWG stands for Museum of Isle of Wight Geology, IWCMS for Isle of Wight County Museums Service (a MDA code from 1994 onwards). Authors contemplating publishing specimens in our collections are advised to seek our advice before publication with respect to numbering.

Using the catalogues

The catalogue has a simple layout,
Part 1 comprises Dinosaur specimens and footprint casts assigned to Dinosaurs.
Part 2 covers the rest of the collection.

Part 1 has a simple taxonomic division, then alphabetical by name, subsequently numeric. Part 2 is firstly stratigraphical, then simple organism group (i.e. fish), then alphabetical, finally, numeric.

If you have any enquiries about the list, or our collections, they should be addressed to:

Part 1 (Dinosaurs) is complete. The dinosaur section contains menus for navigating about the data.
Part 2 will be treated similarly. Downloadable pdf files will be added at the end.
