Museums hold 105 specimens collected within 10 miles of Three Forks between 1884 and 1974: 66 Animalia, 36 Plantae, 2 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adams, W., Adler, K. K., Adler, K. K. & Dennis, D. M. and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
