Material from our main research collection range is listed here by geological age and rock unit. This list is not exhaustive and does not include material stored off-site, material still under study, or material from our type and figured collection (the latter will be placed online in a specimen-level database).
If you are looking for material that is not mentioned in this inventory, please contact one of the curators [Contact Information].
The material listed here, as well as many of our individual localities, can also be browsed on a map [Map of our holdings].
