Description

The Herpetology Collection at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History, Fort Hays State University (FHSM) contains more than 16,000 recent catalogued specimens. FHSM is a major repository for voucher, reference, and research specimens from the Great Plains and beyond. Since 2001 the collection has become a regionally significant tissue repository, as nearly all voucher specimens have ethanol preserved tissues available for use in molecular and genetic studies.
