The article tells about the collection of fossil mineralized wood kept in the Museum of Karst and Speleology of the Mining Institute of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It was formed from 2004 to 2020. The collection includes specimens of mineralized woods from eleven localities (five of them are located in the Perm Krai) belonging to four geological systems - Permian, Triassic, Jurassic and Paleogene. Despite the small volume (35 storage units), our collection is quite representative both geographically and chronologically.
