The Rock & Mineral Room

The Science Education Center houses thousands of rock and mineral samples in what is known as "The Rock & Mineral Room." The entire collection can be viewed by clicking on each of the virtual聽drawers below the room overview pictures. Each link will show a particular set of specimens and include its scientific name. Note: Each sample is numbered according to a system of identification, so the visible numbers labeled聽on some of the samples will denote its scientific name.聽Use the navigation TAB or the BACK button to return to the list of 24 drawers. Or click on the text below each picture to advance to the next drawer. Be sure to also check out the Rock & Mineral KITS听肠辞濒濒别肠迟颈辞苍!
