Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory: Collections
Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory Collection
In 1948, Dr. John (Jack) A. Wilson founded the Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory, at which time he assembled the various collections made earlier by Dumble, Sellards, the Bureau of Economic Geology, and the Texas Memorial Museum. Dr. Wilson then started a program of field research and collecting with his students that continues to the present, and that has amassed several hundred thousands specimens and associated documentation. Thus the Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory collection contains both older collections and the collections made by VPL faculty, staff, and students.
