Did you know that amethyst and citrine are both varieties of quartz? Or that North Carolina bricks are made from Triassic aged sediments? Join us at Geology Research Day to learn more about North Carolina rocks and minerals. Geologists from the Museum and beyond are excited to share their gems of wisdom about the fascinating world of geology.

The NC Museum of Natural Sciences is a research-based museum with Museum staff who conduct novel research and steward our collections. Our Research Highlight Days feature these researchers and their fields of study. These events are held on the first floor of the Nature Research Center.
