Describe what you're trying to do: Need a new collection created for our fossil specimens. I previously requested TMCC:Paleo, but this is not an active collection code. From the collection code table (https://arctos.database.museum/info/ctDocumentation.cfm?table=ctcollection_cde), I believe TMCC:ES might be the preferable collection code. My request was initially started here: https://github.com/ArctosDB/data-migration/issues/2052.

Thank you!

Ah thanks, sorry I was just a little lost in the other issue, I think I've got it now.

TMCC:Paleo is technically acceptable as a guid_prefix.

See also https://handbook.arctosdb.org/best_practices/GUID.html: guid_prefix cannot be changed, please make sure this is what you want before @mkoo addresses the administrative needs, and let us know if it's not. Don't worry about anything else at the moment, collection_cde (and everything else) isn't relevant at this point, just make sure you have a good stable guid_prefix that you (and all who come after!) are and will be happy with.

No problem, and yes, TMCC:Paleo is our preferred guid_prefix for the fossils.

Thank you!
