This is close to the Bill Bryson Library at Durham University. It's a geological map of the UK and Ireland with rock types indicated by actual specimens cut to the necessary shape. It's not known whether for example the granite specimen for the Goat Fell area of Arran actually came from that location, or if 'generic' specimens were used.
