Meet six rocks that travelled to the Museum from places like Mexico, Scotland, and even outer space.
Many rocks have traveled a long way to be here, from places like California, Scotland, Mexico , and even another part of the solar system ! Some formed about 4.5 billion years ago — that makes them as old as the Earth . Others are only 900 years old — that’s just a baby in rock years.
Every rock has a story to tell. And every story gives us clues about the history of the Earth.
