As part of our permanent collection, we have over 11,000 shark teeth , a complete Xiphactinus audux , specimens of Pteranodon, Plesiosaurus, Mosasaurs, and many others representative of the Cretaceous Period. We have several specimens of Crinoid and Horn Corral available. Mammalian history is equally represented with specimens of hoofed mammals and the Oligocene Rhinoceros . Fossils of plant life are on permanent display. The mineral and rock collection is quite extensive.
Archeological pieces are also on display.
Most recent to our collection is a skull of a Mosasaur, Tylosaurus proriger , an ancient marine reptile about 30 feet in length. Discovered in the Smoky Hill Chalk Beds of Gove County, this relic is the oldest ever documented. The Folk Art Collection includes pieces created with fossils, rocks, and paper mache by Vi Fick. This collection is unique to the Fick Fossil and History Museum. Wood carvings made by Vi Fick are also part of the permanent collection.
