Early minerals and rocks associated with the formation of the earths atmosphere are also revealedthe geologic strata known as BIF (Banded Iron Formation). Some of the earths oldest fossils are included, displayed in outcrops harboring the earliest evidence of life. A variety of unusual minerals associated with early limestone-like rocks (now usually found as marble) are revealed, including highly prized rocks used for decorative carvings as well as gemstones. Greenstone belts, among the earliest rocks on the planet, are also examined and their interesting association with much of the earths gold deposits is explored.
