More than 50,000 fossils, minerals, rocks, fossilized and living recent animal skeletons or rather skeletal parts of skeletons and casts of fossils belong to various collections of the Institute of Geosciences. Following the Institute’s founding in 1946/47, the collection began to grow through specimens gathered on field excursions and excavations conducted in Germany and abroad. The founders of the collections were, among others: Prof. Dr. Horst Falke, Prof. Dr. Heinz Tobien and Prof. Dr. Adolf Helke.
