Texas Memorial Museum

Many non-vertebrate specimens are now on display in the Museum within The Hall of Geology and Paleontology, and in the Great Hall in the Natural Wonders, Treasures of the Texas Natural Science Center and the E.M. Barron Exhibit of Minerals and Gem Collections.

This starfish example is particularly stunning, however, hundreds of equally fascinating examples join the 'islands of geologic time' on first floor.

In the Paleo Lab area is another large assembly within the Discovery Drawers.

Take a virtual look at the gem and mineral specimens on display in the Great Hall.
