I would like to hear from other members who are implementing Specify for vertebrate paleontology collections. What issues did you have finding appropriate fields for Land Mammal Ages, for example?
We use the Chronostrathigraphy tree which has specific fields for the periods (see screen capture).
If you like individual ages, then you can add a dedicated field to Collection object attributes
Good to know. Did you have help from the Specify support team getting your data converted and uploaded? We are hoping to use Specify 7 on the cloud.
We had some initial help on how to do it, but the actual data preparation for the import was done by ourselves. The migration was done via Excel and needed a lot of cleaning a honogeneization (agen names, countries and provinces etc)
