Welcome to the geologic tour of Rice buildings! The stones which make the beautiful walls of the buildings around campus each have a story. The Rice Geology department would like to share with you the stories and information behind some of the more outstanding rocks on campus. If you wish to learn more about the three kinds of rocks, visit the Overview of Rocks page.
