Presently occupies a small room of the building, already an infirmary from the facist confinement camp, in the south-western section of the Castle.
It is dedicated to the fossil-bearing deposits of the Aeolian Archipelago throughout the course of the Quaternary, that sheds light on the morphology and the forms of life that existed before the arrival of man to the islands.
In this sense, it offers an exhibition of fossils coming mostly from Lipari (FIG.1) and Panarea (FIG.2). Absolutely extraordinary for its uniqueness, a fragment of a tortoise shell, discovered at Lipari, encompassed in the pyroclastics of Valle Pera at Lipari, dating back to the temporal arch between 127,000 and 104,000 years ago: the most ancient “visitor” of the Archipelago noted to date.
