Abstract
There has been a natural history museum in Nottingham since 1867 and since then the fossil collections have grown so that there are now approximately 40,000 fossils, 4,000 minerals and 3,500 rocks. The fossil collections are nearly all British and the particular strengths lie in local Pleistocene mammals from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, Lower Jurassic marine reptiles, Triassic footprints and Coal Measures plants and Wenlock Limestone fossils from the Dudley area, West Midlands. A brief history of the Nottingham Natural History Museum� s geology collections is followed by a listing of the type, figured and cited fossils present in the Museum.
