Lindow B (2023). NHMD Vertebrate Paleontology Collection. Natural History Museum of Denmark. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/yenbn7 accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-12-10.

The Vertebrate Paleontology collection comprises some 18,000 specimens from the Cambrian period (541 million years ago) and until the Quaternary period (2.6 million years ago). They are predominantly agnathans (Agnatha, jawless fish), placoderms (Placodermi, armored fish), acanthodians (Acanthodii), elasmobranchs (Elasmobranchii, sharks and rays), actinopterygians (Actinopterygii, ray-finned fish), dipnoids (Dipnoi, lung fish), and porolepiformes, osteolepiformes and coelacanths (lobe-finned fish). They mainly derive from deposits in North and East Greenland and Denmark.
The collection also houses the very important early tetrapod fossils (early four-legged vertebrates) from late Devonian deposits in East Greenland; late Triassic vertebrates from east Greenland (dinosaurs, phytosaurs, and mammals); and a large collection of ray-finned fish with some birds and turtles from the earliest Eocene marine diatomite deposits of the Limfjord area in Jutland, Denmark.
Den vertebratpalæontologiske samling omfatter lidt over 18.000 fossile stykker af forhistoriske hvirveldyr fra Kambrium (541 millioner år siden) og indtil Kvartær (2,6 millioner år siden). Det er fortrinsvis fossiler af kæbeløse fisk (Agnatha), panserfisk (Placodermi), ”piggede hajer” (Acanthodii), hajer og rokker (Elasmobranchii), strålefinnede fisk (Actinopterygii), lungefisk (Dipnoi), og kvastfinnede fisk (Porolepiformes, Osteolepiformes og Coelacanthiformes). Fossilerne stammer hovedsageligt fra aflejringer i Nord- og Østgrønland og Denmark.
Samlingen huser også de internationalt videnskabeligt vigtige tidlige “firbenede fisk” fra Sen Devon i Østgrønland; dinosaurer, skildpadder, phytosaurer og pattedyr fra Sen Trias i Østgrønland; og en stor samling af strålefinnede fisk og enkelte fugle og skildpadder fra de tidligt eocæne moleraflejringer i Limfjorden.
