Each specimen is identified as to the specific location found. THIS SET COMES WITH AN ATTRACTIVE EXPLANATORY BROCHURE. A wonderful collection! $35.00. Please see the maps below.


The map to the right of Washington State shows the three areas in which the specimens for The Mt. St. Helens Kit were found. "Awesome" is about the only word that would describe this amazing scene. Even standing 6-8 miles away from the volcano, it still gives the impression that you are standing right in front of it. Truly a breathtaking picture!

Mt. Rainier/Mt. St. Helens Kit (705) $31.00

10 samples from two famous volcanoes. Five are from Mt. Rainier and five from Mt. St. Helens. Mt. Rainier is considered to be the most dangerous volcano in the US. It has more glaciers than any other mountain in the country. The volcano is active and as these glaciers melt, as they have in the past, the run-off, known as lahars, will flood miles of inhabited countryside. Many lives will be lost and millions of dollars of property will be ruined. Keep an eye on this volcano!

Volcanic Rocks of the Northwest (706) $36.00

18 samples from 7 volcanoes. Mt. Shasta, Mt. Mazama (Crater Lake), Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, a cinder cone near Bend, Oregon and the Yellowstone Super Volcano are all represented in this kit.

The Yellowstone Super Volcano (Caldera) (707) $31.00

Over the last few years geologists have come to realize that the volcanic features of Yellowstone Park are not isolated thermal features. They are all part of a large caldera. This has been dubbed, The Yellowstone Super Volcano. It is huge. This kit contains 10 samples from four different areas along the rim of this caldera - West Yellowstone, Gardiner, Cooke City and the Wapiti Valley. All specimens were collected outside the Park boundaries and are authentic.

Yellowstone National Park Geology (710) $120.00

I have been working on this kit for some time. Finally it is done! I grew up near Yellowstone Park and have lost track of the times I have visited America’s First National Park. Contained in this kit are a 75 page color photos and descriptions of the various geologic features both in and surrounding the Park, a hard plastic storage case to help preserve your memories, a Road Guide to Yellowstone National Park from a Creationist perspective, the book, The Night the Mountain Fell – the exciting story of the 1959 earthquake that changed Yellowstone forever, and explanation of the three Rock Types, and several large samples of the Rock Types that make up Yellowstone Park (all samples were collected just outside of Park Boundaries and from the nearby areas). This is a one-of-a-kind kit for $120.00, shipping included!

The Cascades Volcano Kit $45.00

I am personally fascinated with volcanoes. From my travels I have put together a kit of 18 samples from major Cascade Volcanoes in Washington, Oregon and California. The Cascade Range extends from Northern California into British Columbia. The mountains that comprise this Range are mostly volcanoes. This kit contains volcanic samples from most of the volcanoes in this Range in the continental United States. Samples come from active Mt. Baker in Northern Washington all the way to the active volcano, Mt. Lassen in California and from several in between.

	18 authentic volcanic samples
	Attractive hard plastic display case
	Laminated pictures of the volcanoes represented in this kit

Footprints in the Ash Study Pack (708) $41.00
