Collecting minerals, rocks and fossils is a neat way to learn about our world. Even amateurs can make important discoveries. When you study rocks and fossils, you are finding out about the materials from which the Earth is made. You will alsolearn all about the history of the Earth. Minerals are natural occuring, nonliving substan- ces, such as quartz or diamond. Each mineral is made of many particles. Rocks are made of ninerals. Rocks form over millions of years. An exception is the rock that is formed by an erupting volcano. Fossils are the remains or marks of things that were alive thousands or millions of years ago. Rock and fossil collecting is a fascinating hobby. You can go hunting for specimens even in your own back yard. I have found some very nice websites that might help you identify or just learn more about rock collecting. Below you will find links to some of my favorite sites. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
