About The IU Collection
The Indiana University Palaeontological Collection contains an estimated 250,000 fossil specimens, notably Paleozoic invertebrates from the midwest and nearly 700 holotypes. The collection's roots begin with David Dale Owen's geological surveys of the upper midwest and extend to material being added today from research by students and academics in the department.
