Although major collections are not too far away
(Carnegie Museum: 3.5 hours; Smithsonian Institution and Field
Museum: 7 hours), we have attempted to assemble an adequate
research collection of both dinosaur skull casts and modern
amniote specimens. The extant collections are part of the
registered Ohio University Vertebrate Collections (OUVC).
note: Research
in the Witmer lab does not involve experimentation on live
animals. Specimens of modern animals used in research are
salvage specimens, obtained legally from commercial or
governmental sources.
