This is a special paleontology collection, separate from the rest of the Geological Survey of Alabama paleontology collection. The fossils in the Toulmin Collection were collected, described, researched, and published on by Lyman Toulman, a Cenozoic Gulf Coastal plain paleontologist and stratigrapher. The fossils in this collection are described with photographs and stratigraphic correlations in the Geological Survey of Alabama publication Monograph 12.
