Abstract

National Mineral Rock and Fossil Specimen Resource Center (NMRFC) is an important infrastructure for the collection, management, sharing and preservation of geological specimen resources. It integrates the mineral rock and fossil specimens scattered in universities, scientific research institutes and museums in China in the field of geosciences in a standardized manner, establishes a specimen resource information platform by using modern information network technology, promotes the rational protection, scientific management and efficient sharing of specimen resources. By 2022, 301,790 specimen resources provided by 40 participants are shared on the website, including 125,873 fossils, 351,504 minerals, 107,843 rocks and 32,924 ores. Focusing on specimens and data, more than 200 thematic data sets and data products have been integrated, including China's typical ore deposits, China's prominent paleontological fossil groups, systematic mineralogy database, traditional Chinese medicine minerals database as well as gemstones and jade and so on. The NMRFC operates in a combination of online and offline ways, providing services for scientific and technological projects to support innovative research. It also plays an important role in gathering the resources of scientific research projects supported by national public finance. In view of the construction and sustainable development of the resource center, it is proposed to further strengthen the construction of incremental resources, comprehensively promote the construction of storage infrastructure, mine the potential value of data, and strengthen the construction of resource management capacity.
