MRC Institutions and Supervisors
Introduction
MRC collections are hosted by more than a dozen major institutions around
the world. There are 9 identical sets of prepared material for each of the four
fossil groups. These are held either in full collections, which have all four
fossil groups, or satellite collections, which typically hold only material for
one group.
