Interested in maipulating a mastodon molar or casting a crocodlie skull? The Du Brul Collection, donated to the UIC College of Dentistry by the late Dr. E. Lloyd Du Brul and his wife, Florence Du Brul, provides an opportunity to do so. It is the finest collection of human, animal, and prehistoric specimens in the world.

Included in the collection are reptile, fish, and rodent skeletons; wooly-mammoth and elephant teeth; a variety of mammal and human specimens, and much more. "Some of the material, like the fetal human cranium, can no longer be gotten because there is no importing of human skeletal material anymore," said Dr. Tom Lakars, assistant professor of oral anatomy. "The collection is irreplaceable."
