Throwback Thursday #7: Scenes From The 1990 Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show

This is Throwback Thursday #6.  In these, we look back into the past at ESCONI specifically and Earth Science in general.  If you have any contributions, (science, pictures, stories, etc …), please send them to esconi.info@gmail.com.  Thanks!


The annual gem, mineral, and fossil show has been a part of ESCONI since nearly the beginning.  Here are some pictures from the 1990 show.   It was held on March 3rd and 4th 1990 at the old K building of the College of Dupage.
