The collection of the Mesozoic era includes pieces from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, with importance being given to the first Prognathodon tooth discovered in the Spanish Levante, Castalla (Alicante), by Mr. Manuel García Ávila, and also to the Ammonite pieces of the Blas Giner Site, La Querola and Canteres de Comellars, as well as fossils of the Sierra de Mariola Natural Park.

The Cenozoic era collection is very significant because of the large number and variety of pieces found in the region. The collection of the Salle del Hermano Adrover, the Ichnofossils of the Typical Locality of Alcoy and the microvertebrate collections of the Lignite Mine and Barranc de Gormaget (in Alcoy) and the Salema Site of Facheca are notable.
