Excursion: Core of the Earth

Want to see what is deep beneath Earth’s surface? Join HMNS on a tour of the Bureau of Economic Geology’s Houston Research Center, which houses hundreds of thousands of core samples from deep within Earth.
Learn what the core samples tell researchers about our planet by looking at a variety of spectacular cores illustrating various siliciclastic and carbonate depositional environments, such as deep-water mass transport deposits, paleo-karsts, valley fills, fluvial and shelf sandstones, and Cretaceous reef--this research center houses over 600,000 boxes of cores and cuttings from all over the world.
Participants will meet at the Bureau of Economic Geology’s Houston Research Center on W. Little York at 9:45 a.m. You do not need to pick up your tickets at the museum. Directions will be emailed to those with reservations. Advance registration required.
Ages 15+. NO EXCEPTIONS. All minors must be accompanied by a ticketed adult. No refunds.
