The University of Kansas: Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum (Vertebrate) earth science/paleoclimate/repository STUDY NOTES: Repository of vertebrate fossils. The repository is a major national collection, and constitutes one of the most important existing records of vertebrate history and evolution in the southern plains. The collection comprises over 70,000 cataloged specimens. All geological time periods in which vertebrates occur (from Ordovician through Quaternary) are represented by specimens. The majority originate from the late Paleozoic through Pleistocene (roughly the last 300 million years) in Oklahoma and the western United States.
