Rock, Fossil and Minerals Exhibition

Where Knowledge Spreads a Wing

Rock, Fossil and Minerals Exhibition

We present a rare and exciting collection of rocks and fossils, gathered from various parts of India. Some of the fossils in this exhibition are as old as the Cretaceous period—over 60 million years old!

The study of rocks and fossils is an important part of the school curriculum. This exhibition helps students see and learn directly about:

1. The formation and types of rocks
2. Fossils and how they tell us about ancient life

The use of rocks and fossils in:

1. Engineering
2. Archaeology
3. Anthropology

 Such an exhibition is not easy to find, especially close to home. That’s why students enjoy this experience so much—it’s a fun, hands-on way to learn science through real-life objects they usually only read about in textbooks.
