Geology Field Trips
 The CSM Mining Engineering Department is proud of the Edgar Experimental Mine and the purposes it serves: educational tours for the public and school groups; cooperation with industry, state, and federal organizations in research; and training of the manpower needed to maintain the nation's leadership in the field of mineral engineering. |  The Argo Gold Mine and Mill-Your tour begins in Argotown where an experienced guide will inform you of the history of the tunnel, the mine and the mill Then give a live demonstration of the crushing, milling and rock drilling...and after viewing the mill you get to try your hand panning for gold! | Tour a Real working Gold Mine!  Idaho Springs Colorado! |
 The Geology Museum at the Colorado School of Mines started as a 'mineral cabinet' put together by Arthur Lakes, the first curator of collections, in 1874. Today the museum has approximately 50,000 minerals, fossils, gemstones, and artifacts. Each year, thousands of visitors, mineral collectors, and school children enjoy the exhibits and educational opportunities offered by the Geology Museum |
| There are several attractions and Resources listed under this web site!  |  Morrison Natural History Museum Come discover Denver's dinosaurs at a hands-on, family friendly indoor museum. On display are regional fossil finds from nearby Dinosaur Ridge including recently unearthed hatchling dinosaur fossils from the Denver area. Come explore with us! |
| Map Room They are able to give a tour, show examples from our collection, and help find/design assignments using maps and geography. The assignments were tailored to specific age ranges.  There is no charge to enter the building, use the collection, or for our time. Our library is open to the public. Please contact me to make arrangements. We would prefer to limit the student group size to around 10 plus adults. We would also prefer that the age span of the children not exceed 3 to 4 years. This makes it easier to customize our presentation. 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Monday - Friday Reference: (303) 384-2367 Office: (303) 273-3697 Fax: (303) 273-3199 Email: EmailLink('cthiry') cthiry@mines.edu | Earthquake Center The mission of the National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) is to determine rapidly the location and size of all destructive earthquakes worldwide and to immediately disseminate this information to concerned national and international agencies, scientists, and the general public.  |
