Oldest rocks / Life

In this new section (2026), you will have access to some of the oldest rocks and fossils ever discovered on Earth, taking you on a journey back in time to the planet’s origins. The locations where the earliest evidence of a rigid Earth’s crust can be found are rare and remote; most have been buried, deformed, fused, or lost due to the tectonic activity of our ever-evolving planet. Holding a small fragment of these ancient rocks in your hands is a unique experience, a tangible connection to an inconceivable distance in space and time that the human mind can scarcely comprehend.

The sub-sections of this page will gradually be enriched with new specimens, concise descriptions, and photographs.
