Abstract

The Museu Nacional founded in 1818, houses important Brazilian and foreign paleoinvertebrate, paleovertebrate and fossil plant material. This paleontological patrimony is the result of not only the first acquisitions during the 19th century, specially those made by the end of it by the Imperial Geological Commission, but also of the 20th century paleontological activities, which mixes the history of the Paleontology in the Museu Nacional with the own history of the institution
