Duke Lemur Center Museum of Natural History Egypt Collection

This collection was made by researchers in collaboration with the Egyptian Geological Museum and includes a diverse array of vertebrates including primates, non-primate mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish.

The DLCMNH houses these delicate specimens in climate-controlled conditions to preserve them from fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Note that specimens collected under collaborative agreements between Egypt and Duke are accessioned at both the DLCMNH and the Cairo Geological Museum in Egypt. This data collection currently includes only material accessioned at the DLCMNH.
