The Grout Museum District Invertebrates resource consists of fossil and extant animal specimens that do not have a backbone the Grout Museum District has in in its natural history collection. Most of the specimens in this resource were collected between 1932 to the present from Iowa, however some of the specimens were collected in other parts of the United States.
This collection is currently undergoing digitization and will be updated periodically.
