"McGill and Minerals" exhibit

At the invitation of the Schulich Library an exhibit of minerals has been mounted in the Library’s new display case. The exhibit features dawsonite, named after Sir William Dawson, adamsite-(Y), named after Frank Dawson Adams, artifacts from Adams’ pioneering research on rock deformation, a suite of minerals collected by Adams during his geological work in Sri Lanka, and his landmark book Birth and Development of the Geological Sciences. Also displayed is a selection of other mineral specimens from the Museum’s collection. The exhibit is located on the ground floor of the Library.
