The individualCount, organismQuantity and organismQuantityType terms are designed to track the number of individual organisms in an occurrence measured as specimens, biomass etc. How does this translate to paleontology? Comparable concepts in paleobiology are Number of Identified Specimens (NISP) and Minimum Number of Individuals (MNI). Is there an available vocabulary for these terms? What should be our recommendation?
