FORMATION-LEVEL INVENTORY
A drawer-level inventory of the LACMIP’s stratigraphic collection is presently being undertaken. As this is an ongoing project, this information will be updated as progress continues. It is therefore not exhaustive, and will not include material still under investigation or material from our type and figured collection. If you would like more information about material listed in this inventory, or material that is missing, then contact the collections manager [ahendy@nhm.org].
