  • 2 volumes of macrofossil collections donated to IGS/BGS. Arranged sequentially FOR.L1-5362. Identifications, geographical information and geological information given.

  • Registers of thin sections of macrofossils originally held in the Leeds Office. The locality and geological horizon is also given. PC1-462 have been used.

  • 19 registers refer to the Geological museum macro and micro fossil collection previously held in the London Office. Number, identification, locality and geological information given. The early part of the collection pre-dates the national grid system.

  • Register of samples collected from the Carboniferous of southern Ireland together with the Hodson collection. Specimen number, locality and geological horizon given together with some identifications.

  • 4 volumes of the donations by Boswell of onshore British macrofossils. A number of reports in the PDL series were written in the 1960s.

  • Registers of macrofossils in 127 volumes, covers the whole of the UK. Within each volume, data is arranged sequentially usually by collectors no. The data set began with the first Palaeontologist in the Geological Survey of Great Britain.

  • 5 volumes of macrofossils illustrated in the Quaterly Journal Of The Geological Society are given identifications and locality details together with the bibliographic reference. A few are foreign, but most are from the UK. The first date given is QJGS volume 12 for 1856. Last date mentioned is 1912. Numbers used: GS1-7886; GSA1-5000; GSB1-5000; GSC1-5000;GSD1-6415. The data set is closed, but occasional modification to the registers are infrequently made to update or correct certain specimens.

  • Register of macrofossils identified during the Hartfell Project, Scottish 1" Sheet 16, hf1-2113.

  • Registers of macrofossils arranged by 1" (one inch ro the mile) or 1:50 000 scale English geological sheets. Each register is numbered 1-359 and each sheet has one or more volumes. Within each volume, data is arranged by collectors symbol. This is the system used in the Leeds office (the London office had a different system- see MACROLONDON). It is this system that is currently in use.

  • Laser scans of Ediacaran Fossil Surfaces. Data collected 2016-2018 in Newfoundland Canada using a laser-line probe. Data is in the form of .wrp files so can only be opened in Geomagic. The scan files are in files of the bedding plane. All scan numbers with the same base were scanned with the tripod in the same position, so no alignment is needed. Manuel alignment is needed between bases.
