The Geologic Column (1014) $40.00


What a tremendous book!  This book takes a close look at the history of the geologic column and raises challenging questions as to its validity and the need for radical revision.  This is a tremendous resource for the serious student of science history.  Uniformitarian geology was the whole reason the Mosaic record, along with the Genesis genealogies, was thrown out in the mid 1800s.  This book sets the record straight!

Evolution: The Grand Experiment  (804) $130.00


An exhaustive look at Evolution in light of the fossil evidence - for junior high and high school students.  This kit comes complete with a richly illustrated student text and teacher's manual, along with 15 huge fossils for study and handy hard plastic storage case. 

The Geology Book Curriculum - The Granite Family of Rocks (507A) $41.00

Many people are only familiar with one type of granite.  But did you know that there are many types - all given names that correspond to the amount of quartz the individual rocks contain.  This is a fascinating look at the many varieties of an abundant rock on earth.

 

The Geology Book Curriculum - The Lava Family (507B) $41.00

Most people are only acquainted with one type of lava - the red ropy type.  But there are many varieties.  The differences have to do with the temperature at which the particular lava was formed and also with the minerals that each contain.  Here is a selection of 18 different types for your study.  All specimens were collected by me and are authentic.

The Geology Book Curriculum - The Feldspar Family (507C) $41.00

Feldspar is the most abundant mineral on earth!  There are also many varieties.  The study of feldspars is a very interesting one, although somewhat confusing one.  It is difficult to tell some of the feldspars apart.  Feldspars are found in all three rock types and are important in identifying different rocks.  Here are 18 samples for closer study.

 

The Geology Book Curriculum - The Genesis Flood Study Pack (1008) $46.00

The standard for the study of Geology and earth history during the 17th and 18th centuries was the Genesis account of the great worldwide flood.  This was known as Catastrophism.  It was held by most of the scientists of the day and was not replaced until Charles Lyell came along in the early 1800s.  Today there is a revival among many geologists to take a closer look at Catastrophism, albeit, without the Bible.  This book is a fascinating look at the Biblical account and its geological implications.  This has become my favorite book and it is exhaustive, well-written and authoritative.  I was personally acquainted with the late Dr. Henry Morris.  He was a fine man and his knowledge of geology and hydrology was encyclopedic.  Included with the book are 10 large samples of rocks, fossils and minerals that could have been formed by this most important geologic event in our history! Fascinating reading!

The Young Earth Study Pack (1009) $51.00

This book will make you think!  From a scientific perspective, this book looks at a number of stimulating challenges to the concept of an old earth.  It comes with 11 rocks, minerals and fossils that could all be considerably younger than the typical dating methods would indicate.

 

The Geology Book Curriculum - The Properties of Quartz (1010) $51.00

18 great samples that show the varieties in the mineral quartz.  This set includes a highly sought after tangerine crystal quartz and the Uruguay "eye" agate.

The Building Blocks of Rocks (1011) $41.00

Rocks and minerals are not the same thing.  A rock is made up of more than one mineral.  I think Geology becomes fun when I can take a rock and identify its mineral make-up.  Here is a kit with 18 samples of the most common minerals which make up rocks. 

 

The Geology Book Curriculum - The Building Blocks of Rocks - Study Group (1012) $68.00

A nice group of kits containing a total of 30 specimens of 10 each of calcite, quartz and feldspar.  Together these minerals make up most of the rocks we will find.  This would be a great resource for an identification project.
