PALEONTOLOGY AND MINERALOGY SECTION

The palaeontology section is the first exhibition you enter during your visit to the Natural History Museum in Guardabosone.

It is surprising to find a museum for such a small rural area with collections of this scientific scope.

The findings on display range from the Palaeozoic Era (570 million to 230 millions years ago) to the Quaternary Period (from two million years ago to present day). Amongst these is a remarkable  important collection of trilobites from the Carboniferous and Permian periods.

Equally comprehensive is the collection of fish from the Cretaceous and Eocene periods.

The collection of giant ammonites, stromatolites and reptiles is also fascinating.

The mineral collection consists of around 300 samples, including notably meteorites and magnificent pieces of quartz.

ANTHROPOLOGY SECTION

The anthropology section is both extensive and interesting.

The collection does not only contain human remains and prehistoric tools from ancient civilisations, but also tools from semi-primitive tribes still in existence, such as Papua (New Guinea) and Yanomami (Brazilian Amazon).

ZOOLOGY SECTION

This section has around 2000 stuffed exhibits, a comprehensive collection with findings from ornithology, mammalogy, ichthyology and herpetology.
