USGS Denver Fossil Collection Moved to Washington DC
New Home is the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
For more than 100 years the USGS maintained a fossil collection in Denver. The move to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC was completed in April 2021. Delayed by Covid-19, the NMNH staff will be unpacking and processing the acquisition throughout 2022. The collection will be available for study at NMNH once this large task is completed.
