Abstract
The value of a fossil specimen is enhanced by the contribution provided by adequate supporting information commonly preserved on its label(s) and our interpretation of these data. As an example, a specimen in the Whidborne Collection of the Sedgwick Museum, University of Cambridge, is supported by the data on two labels. The apparently minimal information that these contain has been extrapolated to deter mine details of the locality, horizon and collectors. The specimen itself, although not described by Whidborne, is nevertheless worthy of identification, description and interpretation. Both the specimen and the labels were essential to give a complete view; the data on the labels was additional to, and could not be determined from, the specimen.
