Geology Museum

The earth science museum
The earth such a sign of god wisdom and power of God is the collection of many beauties that provides many of man’s needs in different ways. So earth science is the opportunity for cognition of god‘s power and it is the wide area for recognizing secrets and nice properties of creations for explorer minds. The evidence for creation is vast creation is the best explanation for our intricately designed and precisely balanced universe. Evidence for spatial creation surrounds as everywhere from microscopic elements to the unfathomable recesses of the universe, the creator speaks to us through the things that he has made. However, earth science does give us tools to understand our universe and the laws of nature that we can observe today. Because of all persons don’t have enough time to spending for delicates of this science in natural ways therefore museum rule became more egregious. “Earth science museum “is the good window for this varied world. It is provides opportunities for accustoming with this valuable concepts and can be reflection of cultural growth and development of our youths. Also it can supply a desirable leisure hours for them.
The” Mine Explorations and Geology Management” of northeast territory by having this knowledge provides executive program preliminary and its efforts are including:
• Caring out laboratory studies and fieldwork.
• Administrative pursuing of this plan and expressing its importance.
• Offering materials of this plan to responsible companies.
• Offering the plan of inaugurating Earth Science Museum in coincide movement to new building.
• Offering the plan of “Earth Science Museum Park”.
• To seek advice from experts In our country and other countries.
• Visiting of Iranian museum (Mashhad, Tehran and Hamadan) and foreign countries with instructing personnel ( in Japan geology organization museum of Strasburg, earth science museum, Frankfort and Munich natural science museum and personal museum of Dr. Hans Jorgen Wilkes in Germany
• To seek advice from advisers about museum design.
Hence Geology museum formed with plenty efforts of experts in this center and Geology organization supports. It was inaugurated by   administrator of industries and Mines, Mr. Tahmasebi, in coincide movement to Mashhad center new building in 1385 and started its activities. This museum with 450m2 area in the first floor has these parts:
1- Center gallery: rock, mineral and fossil samples and various structures, Iranian mine samples and samples from the other countries samples are contrived and shown in this gallery.
2- Samples store: this store has metallic frames with ideal capacity and more than 1000 samples are keeping in it.
3- Film saloon: it is for showing films about earth science.
4- Sample preparation workroom.
5- Museum expert room.
6- Place for samples presentation?
It is very interesting that museum has many fans at the begging. Among young people any of students, teachers and professors of various universities have visited of pretty samples four years. These samples have been gathered from Iran and all around the world. They have been classified by scientific methods? and shown in the separate shelves. Visitors can see these various samples with name of who donate it to the museum and so be encouraged to gathering new samples for offering to the museum.
Samples Classification
• Minerals: there are 350 specimen from different kinds of minerals (such as carbonates, sulfides, sulfates, oxides, borates, phosphates, arsenide, salt and clay minerals on exhibition and more than 150 samples of various silicate mineral from Iran and different places in the world.
Specimens were collected from as far away as china and as near by as Mashhad Salman square of Piruzi Bulevard. The oldest sample in the exhibition is granit of Dowran and meta sandstone of task and trilobite fossils belong to L. Cambrian of England that is Precambrian in age.
• Fossils: more than 500 samples from Iran and worldwide.
• Rocks: more than 100 samples of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks from different places in the world.
• native elements: 14 samples.
• Valuable rocks: 110   lathed spaciments of the valuable minerals that shown in separated shelves.
• Cave samples: pretty samples from caves in Iran.
• Geology structures and coals: they have been shown in the separate shelves in this museum.
In this situation earth science museum group consist of thoroughbred? experts are working on this objects:
• Sample gathering and record the name of who have offered them.
• Gathering Iranian scientists and famous person’s biography.
• Going to the field and sampling from the apt places.
• Identifying unknown samples.
• Buying samples from inner and foreign expositions through many travels and visits.
• Scientific classification of samples.
• Join in congresses about museum.
The invertebrate paleontology collection numbers more than 100 specimens and include a lot of Iranian Ammonites-Marin animals that lived some 400 million to 65 million years ago.
More than 104 specimens from this collection are featured in the museums fossil parts.
