	Victorian London - Entertainment and Recreation - Museums, Public Buildings and Galleries - Geological Museum
		A laboratory is attached to the Museum, in which the analysis of soils, ores, andc., is performed for the public, and in which pupils receive instruction in chemical analysis.
		The Museum of Practical Geology was established in 1835, at the instance of Sir Henry De La Beche, who was then engaged on the geological survey of Devon and Cornwall; during the progress of which he had collected a large number of specimens, illustrating the mineral formations of the western districts of the kingdom.
		Large as the museum is it is wholly insufficient to hold more than a small proportion of the specimens of rocks and ores which have been presented to it, and the cellars are crowded with cases of valuable specimens.

	Geology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In China, the polymath Shen Kua (1031 - 1095) formulated a hypothesis for the process of land formation: based on his observation of fossil shells in a geological stratum in a mountain hundreds of miles from the ocean, he inferred that the land was formed by erosion of the mountains and by deposition of silt.
		William Smith (1769-1839) drew some of the first geological maps and began the process of ordering rock strata (layers) by examining the fossils contained in them.
		This theory states that slow geological processes have occurred throughout the Earth's history and are still occurring today.

	The Rooms Provincial Museum
		The establishment of geological surveys was an integral part of the industrial development of the early nineteenth century.
		Geologically, the surveys showed the boundaries of the coal formations, the presence of lead on the Port-au-Port Peninsula and gypsum at St. George's.
		Geological Surveys traditionally operated small geological museums in which specimens were displayed for public viewing.

	Geological Museum - Natural History Museum
		The Geological Museum – now the Red Zone – started life in 1841 as part of the Geological Survey.
		The building, which shares similarities in appearance with the Science Museum, was built between 1929 and 1933 at a cost of £220,000, and opened its doors in July 1935.

	Polish Geological Institute
		The first ideas about establishing of a geological institution (Józef Morozewicz, Władysław Szanojcha) arose at the beginning of the 20th century in Polish Galicia, however there was no institution to play a role of a geological survey until the Act of Independence.
		The first "Geological map of the Republic of Poland" (scale 1:750,000) constructed by Kuźniar was published in 1926, and the first "Map of natural resources of the Republic of Poland" (scale 1:750,000) produced by Czarnocki was issued in 1931.
		The discovery of polyhalite deposits in the Gulf of Puck was a result of intense geological exploration in the period of 1964 - 1970.

		In addition, museums are entrusted with the responsibility to ensure the protection of these resources, by educating the public about their importance.
		Vertebrate fossils are excellent examples of geological resources in need of protection, because of their rarity and unique educational and scientific values.
		As the UW Geological Museum is currently engaged in a number of research projects dealing with latest Cretaceous sites in Wyoming, the material from the Thunder Basin National Grassland will be incorporated into the comparative analyses of lower vertebrate faunas around the State.
