University of California Museum of Paleontology: Microfossil Collection

The University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) microfossil collections include type and figured specimens, thousands of mounted and strewn slides, as well as processed material and bulk samples. The searchable catalog lets users search for specimens by collection name, specimen number, family, genus, species, or by location and/or geologic time period. It is also browseable by class or order. For some specimens, photos are available online. The site contains information on the museum's individual collections, including a stratigraphic collection, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) micropaleontological collection; and also donated collections, including the Thomas Vaughan collection, Eugene J. Tynan memorial collection, A.D. Warren/R.M.Kleinpell collection, Zach Arnold collection, and the W. Weaver collection.
