Important fossil remains of several five million years old vertebrates have also been found in the clayey layers.

This museum is placed in the Gypsum Vein area, close to the Monticino Sancuary.

The recovery of this abandoned chalk mine offers to the visitors, thanks to a proper setup of the place and several didactical boards, a geological and naturalistic treasure, a well-known reference for international researchers.

In this special museum, opened from springtime 2006, one can observe beautiful geological frames and rocky outcrops, dating back millions years ago when the Apennine mountains surfaced from the sea.

The equipped paths allow a safe approach to the different rocky layers and an easy understanding of the changes of the enviroment.
