Explore Ireland’s rocks and fossils in one clear, library-ready guide.

This volume accompanies the Geological Survey collection in Dublin, offering a practical handbook that goes beyond a simple catalogue. It pairs descriptive labels with diagrams, photographs, and maps to illuminate Ireland’s geology for students and curious readers alike.

The book preserves key values from the original collection while integrating modern arrangement and new labels. It covers a large fossil collection—ordered stratigraphically—and explains the rock types, their origin, and how they relate to the country’s geography. Much of the content focuses on Ireland’s four provinces, with careful notes on how the fossils and rocks fit into the broader geological story.

Structured by province to mirror the gallery layout, making it easy to follow case by case.
Includes maps, diagrams, and descriptive labels to explain rocks and fossils.
Offers a general introduction to Irish geology, plus specific details on igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
Guides readers from the earliest fossils to the latest discoveries, in a clear, practical order.

Ideal for readers interested in geology, museum visitors, students, and anyone who wants a solid, accessible overview of Ireland’s geological heritage.
