Fossil “saurians” in the Quekett cabinets at the Royal College of Surgeons of England (2016)
As part of the recent Collections Review project carried out at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the scientific and historical potential of the collection of John Thomas Quekett (1815–1861), which includes archival documents, library items and an extensive collection of microscope slides, has been highlighted. In parallel with this review, a pilot project is currently underway and aims to conserve, catalogue and research Quekett's slides in the College's collection. This note reports on the findings of the pilot study and in particular on the discovery of the earliest microscope slides of “great fossil lizards”, including bones, teeth and coprolites presented by some of the greatest English naturalists of the nineteenth century.
