Listing of standard nomenclature types (typus) and publication statuses that may characterize fossil, mineral or meteorite samples/specimens held in the Geological Survey of Western Australia's collections. These terms should only be applied to physical items, and are not applicable to derived results or data. This vocabulary includes terms for type specimens as recognized under several international nomenclature codes (see History Note for details).

The status of a sample or specimen in relation to curation processes (e.g. the recording and organization of items in a collection), both before and after storage/archiving, and with respect to its display or storage location at a specific point in time.

List of terms describing the condition, completeness and risk/hazard profile of individual samples/specimens, including any specific requirements needed for the preservation of the object.
