This has fallen out of use in recent years, but is needed because the online form for registering a new cave is complicated and needs some thought, whereas anyone can fill out this paper data sheet immediately. + +

ONLINE you go to New Prospect to type in the data that you record in the field on the paper form.

The Cave Tag Number is the identifier on the aluminium tage (if mounted at the entrance) e.g. 2050-BH-03 if it is the third cave disovered by Dr. Bunsen Honeydew on the 2050 expo. This encodes the year of discovery, two letters, usually the unique initials of one of the discoverers, and a serial number for caves discovered this year by that person.
Note that this identifier must NOT end in a LETTER. It must end in a DIGIT. Only entrance identifiers end in a (lower-case) letter. Cave identifiers must end in a digit.
