General Info

The BYU-I Geology Museum houses small, but exceptional collections of minerals, rocks, and fossils. The crown-jewel of the museum is the Keith and Mauna Proctor Mineral Collection. This collection is extraordinary in its quality and beauty. It includes extensive specimens of many mineral varieties and forms, including a 30 cm (12 in) long, green tourmaline crystal. Throughout the hallways near the museum are other geological displays, including: a ¼ scale model of a nanotyrannus dinosaur, the Dr. Lowell Biddulph Collection of minerals, rocks, and fossils from the northwestern U.S., and departmental displays of Earth's evolution and history, and different examples of igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary rocks, and invertebrate fossils.
