Show Services of the College The herbarium of Weber State College is a rapidly growing collection of plant and library materials. At present, this collection contains some 12,000 preserved plant specimens collected primarily from areas throughout the western states. These plants and the literature provide a valuable source of reference material for the faculty, capable students, and visiting botanists. The Geological Museum is located in the Department of Geology. The several collections of minerals, ores, rocks and fossils add interest to geology classes. More than 250 species of fossils illustrate the development of life during geologic times. Part of the several hundred specimens are arranged according to Dana, and others are from important or interesting localities. The rock collections, consisting of more than 500 specimens, are arranged to show rock types and localities. Planetarium—A planetarium featuring a 30 ft. hemispherical dome and Spitz A-4 planetarium projector is located in the Science Lecture Building. At present, this installation is the only such facility in a state college or university in Utah and several of the surrounding states. The facility is used primarily in class instruction in astronomy classes. In addition, a program featuring some phase of astronomy is given once each week which is open to students and the general public.
