It begins by explaining that rocks are made of minerals and that each type of rock is the result of a specific mixture of minerals subjected to a clearly defined geological process.The bulk of the poster is divided into three sections, one for each type of rock: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. An illustration shows how they are made. It is followed by photographs of a dozen representational specimens. A dramatic photograph shows a natural formation. A bonus section shows and explains some of the more specialized and popular rock forms such as geodes, concretions, agates and thunder balls. This is a great poster for earth science classes, but one also appreciated by rock collectors as it is a helpful resource for identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasures 24\" X 36\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in America l Made in USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Store for Knowledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48375867343005,"sku":"fee-e104L","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/4931\/7021\/files\/fee-e104l.jpg?v=1780617043"},{"product_id":"minerals-poster-laminated","title":"Minerals Poster (Laminated)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMinerals Poster (Laminated)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis poster shows a whopping 162 specimens, carefully selected to include those most likely to be encountered by the student and collector. Over 20,000 photographs were reviewed to select ones that would best show a diversity of color, habit, luster and crystals. These magnficient minerals are presented by class: native elements, carbonate, sulfates, sulfides, halides, oxides, phosphate, organic and silicates. The silicates are such a large group that the bottom three rows are devoted to them. They are grouped by sub-class, such as nesosilicates, sorosilicates, etc. All of the popular gemstones are shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in America l Made in USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Store for Knowledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48375867572381,"sku":"fee-e106L","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/4931\/7021\/files\/fee-e106l.jpg?v=1780617044"},{"product_id":"introduction-to-fossils-poster-laminated","title":"Introduction to Fossils Poster (Laminated)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Fossils Poster (Laminated)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis poster begins by explaining what fossils are and how a few pioneering scientists eventually realized that they were the remains or traces of once-living organisms. Many people think fossils are petrified bones but bone-type fossils are actually rocks. They are the result of a process called mineralization in which minerals replace decaying tissue. This process is shown and explained. All of the other fossil types are also explored. The rarity of fossils is dramatically presented (see below) and strange things sometimes mistaken for fossils are identified. There’s a great section on fossil expeditions and one that discusses what fossils tell us. All of this is accompanied by detailed illustrations showing the processes and excellent photographs of representative specimens.There is an especially helpful section on the relationship of fossils to geology. It covers the principal of original horizontality, the law of superimposition, the principle of faunal succession, geological time charts, index fossils, and both relative and absolute dating. This poster is a great aid to museum interpretive programs and extremely beneficial in the study of both life and earth sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasures 25\" X 36\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in America l Made in USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Store for Knowledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48375867605149,"sku":"fee-e103L","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/4931\/7021\/files\/fee-e103L.jpg?v=1780617045"},{"product_id":"introduction-to-minerals-poster-laminated","title":"Introduction to Minerals Poster - Laminated","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Minerals Poster-Laminated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poster begins by defining a mineral and then explores the relationship of minerals to atoms and molecules. The all-important crystal structure is introduced, followed by informative text and illustrations that introduce all six crystal structure classes. This is followed by an outstanding presentation of the actual mineral classes - natural elements, suflides, sulfates, carbonates, etc. Collectors and students naturally want to identify their specimens. However, specimens of the same mineral can vary greatly, which can make that a difficult task. Identification has traditionally been based on the observation of physical properties: hardness, habit, luster, cleavage, specific gravity, color, fluorescence, streak, etc. The bulk of Introduction to Minerals presents those properties through informative captions, illustrations and carefully selected photographs. The emphasis is on how to use the physical properties for identification. There are approximately 100 common minerals. Over 60 of them are shown on this poster, making it even more helpful for identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasures: 24\" X 36\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in America l Made in USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Store for Knowledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48375898898589,"sku":"fee-E105L","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/4931\/7021\/files\/fee-e105l.jpg?v=1780617297"},{"product_id":"intro-to-gemstones-laminated-poster","title":"Intro To Gemstones Laminated Poster","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Gemstones Laminated Poster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    This poster begins by showing the most popular gemstones, grouped together by class. It explains the important \"Four C’s\" of gemstones - Cut, Clarity, Color and Caret, followed by an introduction to other important qualities, such as Asterism, Opalescence, Hardness and Pattern. The next row provides wonderful illustrations of the important gemstone cuts, accompanied by an explanation. This is followed by an introduction to cabachons.\u003cbr\u003e   It then presents an assortment of jewelry. The focus is on affordable items, including some that enthusiastic can make themselves. Next comes non-jewerly use of gemstones - collectible eggs, carvings, decorative slabs, and royal crowns. Of course we had to include a famous Faberge egg.

It is an extremely popular hobby. Fossils are artifacts of living creatures and plants. They are visually fascinating and many are absolutely beautiful. Educators find them extremely helpful as they permit students to actually see the remains of some long gone species. When a kid gets to actually hold an eight inch tooth from a huge Megalodon shark, he or she will never forget the experience. The same hold true with many other fossils. \u003cbr\u003e   This poster presents the fossils that are widely available to private collectors. These include the well-known fish from Wyoming’s Green Mountain Formation, the famous ferns from St. Claire, Pennsylvania, the Chesapecten so abundant around the Chesapeake Bay and the petrified wood of the American Southwest. It includes such favorites as trilobites and coprolite. The latter is petrified dinosaur dung. Kids love talking about \"dinosaur poo poo.\" Many outstanding specimens are shown. All are accompanied by an illustration of the prehistoric species, except in cases where appearance is unknown due to soft parts not fossilizing. In such cases, an illustration of a closely related modern species is presented. Interesting captions provide information and cite the geological period in which the species. A geological time chart puts everything in perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasures 36\" X 25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in America l Made in USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Store for Knowledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48376054218909,"sku":"fee-e108","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/4931\/7021\/files\/Collectible_Fossils_Poster.jpg?v=1780618542"}],"url":"https:\/\/storeforknowledge.com\/collections\/geology-posters.oembed","provider":"Store for Knowledge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
