Plant fossils
Plant fossils are the preserved remains or traces of plants that have been conserved in sedimentary rocks over millions of years.
The stages of geological map preparation
In this part, in addition to becoming familiar with the profession of geologists, you will also learn about geological maps, how they have been prepared from the past to the present, and the methods of research in the geosciences.
Silicate Minerals
Silicate minerals are a group of minerals formed from the combination of silicon (Si), oxygen (O), and one or more metals.
Non-Silicate Minerals
A mineral is a natural, inorganic, solid substance with an orderly crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition that occurs in the Earth’s crust.
Non-silicate minerals are minerals that contain elements and compounds other than silicon-oxygen groups. Although they typically make up less than 10% of the Earth's crust compared to silicate minerals, they are economically and industrially very important.
Museum ramps
The museum ramps include sections featuring various types of silicate and non-silicate minerals, as well as different types of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
