Teaching Collection
The primary function of the biology teaching collections is to facilitate the education of biology undergraduates. Collections include prepared slides as well as preserved, mounted, and living specimens. The numerous taxonomic groups included in the collections can be used during course laboratories or as demonstration aids during lectures. Some specimens may be used for outreach purposes.
Directions for slide access: The slide collection can be found in the LS 260. Check out/in slides using the white binder next to the collection: slide type, quantity, and location (cabinet #, tray #, slot #). Please contact Jessica Fultz with questions.
Directions for model access: Please contact Susan Marion for all human and some primate models and Jessica Fultz for the other models and mounts.
Please handle all specimens with care.
