Based on his geological knowledge, Zois intervened in the dispute between Neptunists and Vulcanists. They disagreed about the formation of mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using fossils he found, he proved that the Triglav is made up of limestone formed from marine sediments,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His mineral collection became the cornerstone of the Carniolan Regional Museum in Ljubljana, which was founded in 1821 and officially opened in 1831; today the collection can be seen in the Natural History Museum of Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around the turn of the century (1805), Zois sent two mineral prospectors to the Saualpe. The Saualpite named by him was later called Zoisite in his honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
