This is made up of a large number of micropaleontological preparations (approx. 20,000), especially foraminiferas from several locations but mainly from Balearic sites. There is also a representation of present-day foraminiferas, primarily from the Mediterranean, as well as samples prepared for study and a collection of fine lamina preparations. Documentation is formed by an extensive library, mainly on micropaleontology, but also on geology and natural history in general, as well as a collection of specialised magazines. There is also a significant collection of scientific correspondence belonging to the owner of the collection plus copies of their own works and pieces; a series of original drawings and laminas of original, scientific and educational works on geology, micropalaeontology and natural history; photographic plaques of photomicrographs; plus systematic and bibliographic files and field books. The collection includes material of types that are currently under review.
