To avoid possible inconsistencies within existing palaeontological web resources, caused by incorrect identifications of species, specimen-based databases could be used. Their efficiency is, however, limited due to the heterogeneity of palaeontological data. Nonetheless, researchers should make available not only the names of the taxa, but also morphometric data, images and other supplemental data, contributing these resources to the most widely used web services for sharing palaeontology-collections data. This would facilitate further studies and revisions and would allow to detect incorrect identifications of species. When submitting the data to a purely taxon-based database (e.g. to the Paleobiology Database), carefully prepared lists of synonyms should be provided.
