Exposition
At the current moment, a large collection of two thousand various types of rocks are on exhibition -- a collection, which took thirty years to amass. Stanislavas Sungaila personally collected these specimens. A large part of the collection consists of rocks of the thalassic period from Papile with fossil remains of both flora and fauna: belemniths, amoniths, ooliths, and fosilias.
