As of 8 April 2004, 123 of these have been designated holotypes, three are neotypes, three are syntypes, and 1793 are paratypes and paratopotypes. Most specimens are fluid-preserved, but the collection also contains skeletal preparations, sets of amphibian eggs and larvae, and several thousand specimens that have been cleared and stained. Other special collections include pineal organs, 800 sectioned heads, a series of dried anuran skins from California and Argentina, and stomach contents that have been removed from more than 3,000 predatory reptiles.Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California Berkeley Herp CollectionMcGuire Jim Faculty Curator of Herpetology contentProviderTo the extent possible under law, the publisher has waived all rights to these data and has dedicated them to the 2024-03-29T01:12:38-07:00Biodiversidad de Guatemala - 37c71a0f-a518-4edb-902f-fdecef7e4a4cUTF-8Darwin Core Archivehttps://biodiversidad.gt/portal/collections/misc/collprofiles.php?collid=71MVZHerpMuseum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California Berkeley Herp Collectionhttps://mvz.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2020/06/MVZ_Logo_color_100.pnghttp://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at UC BerkeleyMcGuire Jim Faculty Curator of Herpetology <p>The MVZ collection of amphibians and reptiles contains over 270,000 catalogued specimens.
