vertebrates and trace fossils to guide the day-to-day management of the physical collections and associated resources including archives and paper records as well as databases. Our museum is a world-class natural history institution nestled against the foothills
of the Rocky Mountains in Boulder, Colorado. The Fossil Vertebrate collection houses nearly 100,000 specimens largely from Mesozoic and Cenozoic localities, with an exceptional collection of Paleogene mammals. Additionally, the ichnofossil and eggshell holdings
include approximately 6,000 fossil footprints and other trace fossils plus the world-class Karl Hirsch fossil eggshell collection (~5,900 eggshells). Most holdings are from the U.S. Western Interior, but the collections are enhanced by specimens from elsewhere
in the U.S. and the world.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
