In this short paper the collection of fossil coronuloid barnacles kept at the Natural History Museum of Pisa University is presented and briefly commented. It consists of one hundred and twenty-seven catalogued specimens and features one species of turtle barnacle (Chelonibia testudinaria) and three species of whale barnacles (†Cetopirus fragilis, represented in this collection by the holotype and only known specimen, †Coronula bifida, and Coronula diadema). The paleontological collection of fossil turtle and whale barnacles kept at the Natural History Museum of Pisa University stands out as one of the most important collections of coronuloid barnacles in Italy and all over Europe.
