Record

Occurrence RemarksUpon IMS cleanup project, it was found that TNHC# 18933 contained 3 fish - one tagged with different locality info than catalogued data for TNHC# 18933, 2 loose fish, and a loose jar label that matches catalogued data. IMS ledger shows 2 entries for IMS# 29. Both jar labels correspond correctly to each ledger entry. Separated fish into 2 jars. Assuming tagged fish is single specimen linked to second ledger entry (TNHC 56762) and 2 loose fish go with loose jar label (TNHC 18933).

Georeferencing Remarks Georeference needs verification/refinement; coordinates provided by donor
Georeferencing Annotation
Has not been Georeferenced because This record, being part of the track 3 import, is not formally georeferenced by FoTX staff at this time. However, to allow mapping and visualization of this record, locality information has been provisionally accepted if provided by the donor or if location text could be matched to previously georeferenced records by FoTX team or donor data. For many records spatial error is either accepted from the donor (when provided) or derived based on coordinate precision.
