Division of Paleobotany and MicroPaleontology: Collection Database

Only a small portion of the specimens in our Collections are on display in the Hall of Ancient Life. By following the links below, you can search for more examples of plant fossils that we have in the Museum. You may search based on your county within Oklahoma or, more generally, by county, state, age, formation or type of plant.

A map-based county search is also available.
