Images and Notes

This release expands Fossil Tracker beyond a specimen register by introducing support for specimen images and observational notes.

Each fossil can now become a richer record of study, documenting not only what the specimen is, but also how it has been examined over time. Multiple photographs can be associated with a specimen, while dated observations provide an ongoing record of identification, interpretation and personal study.

New Features

  • Support for multiple images per specimen
  • Image metadata including captions and descriptive notes
  • Observation records linked to individual specimens
  • Dated observational notes
  • Markdown support for longer-form notes
  • Updated database schema and migrations
  • Enhanced Streamlit interface for managing images and observations

Improvements

  • Extended specimen data model
  • Improved navigation between specimen records and associated notes
  • Additional validation and quality-of-life improvements throughout the application

Notes

With this release, Fossil Tracker begins to evolve from a simple collection catalogue into a personal natural history notebook. Rather than recording only the existence of a specimen, the application now supports the gradual accumulation of photographs, observations and interpretations as understanding develops.
