Mollusca Collection - Museu Nacional/UFRJ

Description :

 The Mollusca Collection of the Museu Nacional (acronym MNRJ), one of the most important of its kind in South America, holds more than 40,000 registered lots and about 15,000 unregistered lots, which are currently being processed, including dry shells and preserved specimens from Brazilian and foreign provenance. Most lots are from Brazilian localities, but several lots from other coutries are also present, specially from South America. Species from marine and non marine habitats are represented, as well as molluscs from sambaquis. The type material stems from studies carried out since the beginning of the 20th century by Brazilian and foreign researchers. A total of 683 type lots are currently deposited.

Le jeu de données diffusé est issu d'un traitement automatique appliqué sur les données issues du GBIF. Les règles de l'INPN et plus globalement du SINP (en termes de périmètre et de contrôle sur les données) peuvent impliquer que l'ensemble des données du jeu source ne soit pas restitué dans le SINP.
 The disseminated dataset stems from an automatic treatment applied to data coming from GBIF. INPN rules, and more generally SINP rules (in terms of perimeter and data quality controls) may imply that the whole of the source dataset might not be provided on the SINP platform.
