   "Historia Terrae" - The Earth's History

The meaning of "Historia Terrae"is The Earth's History translated in Latin. Earth is the only planet in our solar system that is not derived from Greco-Roman mythology, the Romans actually used a Latin word; Tera (Terra), for Earth. Therefore, I decided to pay the Latin culture homage and have name of my collection in Latin language. The Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals in Hillsboro, Oregon, is my museum of choice because it's wrapped solely around the history of strictly rocks and minerals, which is very rare because a lot of museums aren't based off of the history and observations of just rocks.

These rocks are simple depictions and pieces of the Earth. With every rock, they tell a story about the Earth. Most rocks from the Earth are made up of a numerous amount of elements, these rocks are either Sedimentary, Igneous or Metamorphic. Almost all rocks are made up of minerals and different mixtures that contain minerals such as; oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium. Rocks are constantly changing and eroding as the years go by and they intrigue me because the Earth is at least 4.5 billion years old, therefore, since the rocks are constantly changing then so is the Earth. By analyzing these rocks and it's texture, shape and form, hypothetically speaking, these rocks are telling a story and anyone can gain a solid understanding of the Earth we live on and it's long history.
