Abstract
The Palaeontological Collection Tübingen is one of the oldest and richest university collections of the world. Famous researchers such as von Quenstedt, von Huene, Schindewolf and Seilacher were active in Tübingen and donated their collections. Highlights are comprehensive synapsid, marine reptile and ichnofossil collections and fossils from the Swabian Alb. Current research at the collection focusses on diverse aspects of micro-, invertebrate and vertebrate palaeontology. As being a university collection and in having a large historicising exhibition, teaching is one important focus.
