loan requests

[Warren D. Allmon]

The Paleontological Research Institution is currently engaged in a complete
reorganization of its
collections.  If anyone in the research community wishes to borrow specimens
from PRI, we
encourage loan inquires to be made as soon as possible.  While the
renovation of the collections
is underway, our response to loan requests will be significantly lengthened.
Please contact us
before November 17 to assure a prompt reply.

PRI houses nearly two million fossil and Recent specimens, including one of
the country's
largest Cenozoic and Recent mollusk collections.  In addition, we have a
type and figured
collection that includes over 33,000 specimens and a large microfossil
collection.

Requests for specimen loans should be addressed to:
