Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Department Collections

The Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences is home to several historic research collections that are open to the public on Fridays.

While you're on campus, plan to stop by the Mineralogy & Petrology Museum - a resource of more than 12,000 rock and mineral specimens from around the world, including highlights from the Meteorite Collection and the Paleontology Museum with vertebrate and invertebrate specimens ranging in age from over 10,000 to 600 million years! Both of these collections are located in the Earth Sciences Building and guests are welcome to visit during open hours on Friday.
