Description

A selection of fishes, plants and molluscs fossils from several deposits in Piedmont (Italy). Each specimen in the collection, with its own unique number, is recorded in a catalogue created using an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the scientific and geographical data. It is then stored in special numbered drawers inside entomological-style cabinets, which are also numbered.

Project Data

ITINERIS is coordinated by the CNR (National Research Council). It started in November 2022, and during 30 (+6) months will carry out an ensemble of cross-disciplinary actions across the different environmental sub-domains, with the main aim to build the network of the Italian environmental Research Infrastructures, connect it to the user community and establish access, trough the ITINERIS HUB, to the vast array of knowledge, data, analytical tools, and service produced by the participating RIs.
