PALEOBOTANY
The section holds about 16,000 specimens. Among
the Paleozoic plants, the Pennsylvania-aged collections are
particularly significant, especially the Cannelton/Mansfield,
Lacoe, and Oleksyshyn collections. Tertiary holdings include
collections made by invertebrate and vertebrate paleontologists
from localities previously unknown to paleobotanists and the
excellent and large collections of Green River flora.
Our
collections from Monte Bolca, Italy, are the largest in the
country and are of great value for study and exhibit. Other
excellent European holdings are those from Gelinden, Belgium; and
Armissan, France, both valuable research collections.
