The Natural History Collections Department is located mainly in
the
Iziko
South African Museum where it is responsible for all animal
and fossil research collections. Our main collection strengths are:
marine invertebrates and fishes, insects (particularly ants, bees
and wasps), vertebrate osteology, Karoo mammal-like reptile fossils,
fossil ammonites, and Cenozoic fossils from the
West Coast Fossil Park.
Speciality areas of our scientists include ants, parasitic wasps,
sharks and rays, cephalopod molluscs, ammonite fossils,
palaeoecology of Gondwana, and the reconstruction of past
environments from the analysis of micromammals in owl pellets.
