Studies carried out on fossil reptiles housed in the collections of the “Prof. Dr. Juan A. Olsacher” museum in the city of Zapala (Neuquén) have been oriented towards marine and continental forms of the Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous and lower Upper Cretaceous of the Neuquina Basin. In association with the Dirección Provincial de Minería from its origins, the Olsacher Museum provided logistical collaboration to national and international research groups, including the marine reptiles group of the La Plata Museum. Since 2008, the museum has been in charge of studying the geological and taphonomic context of the fossil remains found. As a result of the fieldwork carried out over the last 50 years, which had the logistical support of the Olsacher museum, the institution has incorporated into its collections a large number of specimens, including 15 holotypes, 7 of them are marine reptiles and 8 are dinosaurs.
