The department has extensive and valuable collections in all areas of palaeontology and conducts world-leading research in several fields.
The collections contain several unique and scientifically important specimens that are being used in research projects at the department, and by researchers from around the world.
The research at the department involves questions about the origin of life on earth and the evolution of animals and plants through time, with emphasis on the origin and evolution of Cenozoic vertebrates, Palaeozoic invertebrates and seed plants. Read more about our research.
Here you find the latest publications which have been published at the department. You can also find earlier publications.
The department houses scientifically valuable and large collections that derive mainly from Sweden but also from widespread locations around the world, such as the Arctic in the north and Antarctica in the south. Databasing of the collections is one of the main projects at the department and some of the information is available on the internet. Read more about our collections.
The collections are accessible for Swedish and foreign researchers by visit or loan. Contact Vivi Vajda (plant fossils) or Christian Skovsted (animal fossils) for more information.
