Cocos Island Kaiser & Kuck
MBC
Specimens collected by Kirstie Kaiser, private collector and associate of the LACM Malacology department. Kirstie made several trips to islands in the eastern Pacific including Clipperton, often returning collections of shells and other invertebrates to the Museum. NHM benefited from several of these trips. She made one trip Hans G. Kuck to Cocos and this material was permanently gifted to the museum.

4: Immediate short-term (less than 5 years) storage container replacement needed. Present containers are inadequate. Curate in the short-term with plastic buckets, whirltop bags, or similar. |
3: Specimens contained in museum-grade long-term (greater than 5 years) storage containers. Jars need new closures (e.g. replace Bakelite and metal lids). |
