Abstract
The paleontological collections of the Institute of Geosciences, University of Mainz, have been established in 1946/47. Today, they contain more than 33,000 specimens ranging from vertebrate fossils and recent osteological material to invertebrates as well as fossils from some well-known sites. The material is used for research as well as documentation and teaching.
