Oberlin College Winter Term

Rebecca Selin

It’s a little known fact that Oberlin has a sizable paleontology collection, housed in a tiny and disorganized room on the third floor of the Carnegie Building. Rebecca's winter term project aimed to bring some order into the collection; updated data on specimens, some of which had not been studied since the 1800s; took pictures of fossils, and worked toward publicizing the paleontology collections on an online database.
