Exhibition Room of Rocks, Minerals and Fossils

Minerals are displayed classified by their chemical composition in a showcase behind the right wall in this exhibition room.
We have the Imayoshi Mineral Collection on the left and rock specimens at the back.
Fossil specimens are displayed in chronological order in a showcase in the center.
Besides the showcase of fossils, there are rocks including the earliest fossils in Japan and replicas of a Naumann's elephant and coelacanth.
The Geological Museum is the only place in Japan where a large number of systematically-classified specimens of rocks, minerals, and fossils are available for viewing.
