Data Disclaimer: All NMBCC specimen or lot records are from New Mexico, though the museums maintain many more specimens from outside the state and there are other collections in New Mexico for which we do not have data (yet!). Several collections are still developing their specimen databases (see About the Data for more information). Contact the collections directly for more information about their holdings. The NMBCC data are largely uncleaned, which is to say, you see it as it was provided to us by the museum collections.

The data are provided "as-is" and no warranty is given or implied as to their accuracy, currency, completeness, or appropriateness for your use. NMBCC may update or make changes to the documents provided by this server at any time without notice; however, NMBCC makes no commitment to update the information contained herein. Since the data in the central databases are continually being updated, it is advisable to refresh data retrieved at least once a year after its receipt. Questions concerning the data should be directed to the museum collections.
