PANAMA PALEONTOLOGY PROJECT

RESEARCHERS AND REPOSITORIES

as of August 2021
The Steering Committee of the PPP made policy and planning decisions, funded activities and the integration of the project, organized field expeditions, and reviewed requests for collections and participation. Research Associates made significant use of and contributions to PPP collections and research. Advisors of students were responsible for the handling and deposition of PPP collections and the timely sharing of the information obtained.
