Details
Our collections include specimens from important fossil collecting localities mainly in the British Isles together with local fossils, from places like Walton-on-the-Naze, and some Ice Age mammal remains from the gravels around Chelmsford. There is also a small collection of rocks and minerals.
Examples from our collections can be seen at the museum in our Modern Collectors case while some others are in our display looking at the Ice Age.
If you have a specimen that you would help identifying, we have a special Essex Geology Reference Collection cabinet kindly supplied by the Essex Rock & Mineral Society that is available on request.
