Vertebrate Database Notes
The Museum of Texas Tech University's online vertebrate database contains data current as of January 15, 2020. For tissues housed at TTU with vouchers held at other institutions or if you are unable to find a particular sample in the database but have reason to believe the sample exists, please contact the Curator of Collections.
This site is currently under development. This version is a prototype. Future additions will include images of specimens and the ability to perform more refined searches. This version includes a filter that blocks general access to specimens and sensitive data.
