Fossil shark teeth collection
Curator: Eugenia
Baykina.
113 010 specimens and dates back to the mid-50s of the
20th century. Formed by a renowned paleichthyologist from St. Petersburg Leonid
Glickman, it contains specimens from various regions of Ukraine, the Volga
region, Kazakhstan, and Soviet Central Asia.
Today it
includes material collected by V.I. Zhelezko and V.A. Kozlov (Yekaterinburg),
as well as fragmented material from other private collectors.
The collection is of great scientific value as its materials provided the necessary information
for Leonid Glickman to write two extensive monographs - “Paleogene Sharks and
Their Stratigraphic Significance” (Moscow, 1964) and “The Evolution of
Cretaceous and Cenozoic Lamnoid Sharks” (Moscow, 1980), as well as several
articles in which the author defines several new species and genera. The type
material (holotypes) representing new taxa significantly increases the collection’s
scientific value.
The collection is of
significant interest to paleontologists with various specializations.
