Wilhelm Friedberg and his scientific legacy … 31

the scientific processing of collections and type material for the verification of identifications
not only allows us to confirm or refute previously made conclusions but also improves our
understanding of evolutionary processes. Preservation of paleontological collections and
their analysis also enables researchers to discover new taxa, contributing to the identification
of patterns of species distribution in space and time and the reconstruction of the
environments in which these organisms have existed.
Thanks to the efforts of the museum staff, these valuable collections have been preserved
and properly organized. They now serve not only as the historical heritage of the museum,
but also as an important resource for the modern global scientific community engaged in the
study of Neogene molluscs and sediments. These collections represent an outstanding
contribution to the broader scientific knowledge and heritage, facilitating research and
discoveries for generations to come.
