The Mansoura University Vertebrate Paleontology Center (MUVP) possesses a large and expanding collection of vertebrate fossils, encompassing a diverse range of taxa including fish, dinosaurs, crocodiles, and mammals. These invaluable specimens have been collected from various chronological periods and geographical localities throughout Egypt. There are some citations of some papers that have been published from the collection: Sallam, H.M., Gorscak, E., O’Connor, P.M., El-Dawoudi, I.A., El-Sayed, S., Saber, S., Kora, M.A., Sertich, J.J., Seiffert, E.R. and Lamanna, M.C., 2018. New Egyptian sauropod reveals Late Cretaceous dinosaur dispersal between Europe and Africa. Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2(3), pp.445-451. El-Sayed, S.E., Kora, M.A., Sallam, H.M., Claeson, K.M., Seiffert, E.R. and Antar, M.S., 2017.
