This sub-form is important for sorting and organizing large datasets. Because NPL uses a single database for all its collection, this is where we organize our collection data into mineral, invertebrate, micro-fossil collections etc.., We also record other important index information here, like biological stage and sex. It's not always possible to know this information, so don't sweat it if the fields have to be left blank. Most important to remember, don't guess. If you have a label where the determiner guesses, so ahead and fill in the field but make a note in the specimen remarks. An example of this would be a label that reads " probably juvenile". Select Juvenile in the Biological stage, but put in the remarks that the determiner said this was probably a juvenile.
