This collection is the culmination of over 100 years of collecting from around the world and contains fossils that range in age from the Devonian through the Quaternary Periods. Its strengths are in Cretaceous marine vertebrates and Late Mesozoic-Cenozoic fossil mammals from the Rocky Mountain region.

The Paleontology Section primarily focuses on collecting and research efforts within the Rocky Mountain Region. In order to effectively study evolutionary relationships and aspects of paleobiology and paleoecology, this collection has extended or global coverage. Specimens in this collection are cared for using the most current museum curation standards to make sure they are available for research, teaching, exhibits, and community education and outreach for as long as possible. monthly Jacob Van Veldhuizen University of Colorado Museum of Natural History Vertebrate Paleontology Collections Manager
