| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Type specimens are fundamental resources for researchers. However, there is no easy way for researchers to make a search of specimens. Recently, many institutes publicized databases of digital images of paleontological specimens on the Internet. In particular, the 3D digital models are useful, because they give us sterical recognition of a specimen.
Cretaceous marine strata which have yielded abundant ammonoids are widely distributed throughout Japan. Over 300 type specimens (Holotype, Lectotype and Neotype) of Cretaceous ammonoids are held in Japan. It is our aim to share on the Internat 3D digital models of the type specimens of Cretaceous ammonoids. I plan to put 3D digitalised images of the type specimens on the Internet. If this project spreads across catalogues and countries, it will contribute signicantly to many paleontological research felds.
