Little by little, the Provincial Council of Lleida has been taking steps to consolidate and conserve this magnificent collection so that it continues to be, as it has been until now, a scientific and informative reference collection worldwide. <\/span>\n          <\/p>\n          \n\n          <p>\n            <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can differentiate the collection into several types:<\/span>\n          <\/p>\n          \n\n          <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fossils from systematic campaigns<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: according to Bernat Vila (unpublished catalogue of fossils from the IEI), this collection is made up of 3,692 acronyms and correspond to the 19 excavation campaigns carried out by the Geo-palaeontology section between 1979 and 1998. Among these, we can consider that the campaigns of the years 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1998 (a total of 696 fossils) are already included in Law 9\/1993 of the Catalan Heritage, which regulates both the collection and the deposit of fossils, so that the ownership of them would correspond to the Generalitat. <\/span><\/p>\n          \n\n          <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fossils from the G\u00f3mez-Pallerola collection<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: there are 950 acronyms donated by Enric G\u00f3mez-Pallerola, almost all from the towns of La Pedrera and La Cabroa.<\/span><\/p>\n          \n\n          <p>\n            <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Sources from donations and\/or transfers from individuals: according to Vila (unpublished catalogue) this part of the collection is made up of 986 acronyms donated by a total of 52 people or entities.<\/span>\n          <\/p>\n          \n\n          <p> <\/p>\n          \n\n          <p>\n            <i>\n              <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collection statistics<\/span>\n            <\/i>\n          <\/p>\n          \n\n          <p>\n            <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Main article B.
