Honestly thought the whole 'glacial erratic' thing was just a fancy name for a random rock, but I found a massive granite boulder in a field in Iowa last month that looked totally out of place. A local told me it was dropped by a glacier like 15,000 years ago and now I'm obsessed. Anyone else have a story about a rock that made you believe something you thought was just a tall tale?

Was hiking near Sedona and noticed the red sandstone layers are way more tilted than I expected, like almost 45 degrees in some spots.

My trusty Estwing rock hammer handle split clean in two after 15 years of service during a mapping trip near Moab.

Tbh I used to think a rock was just a rock until my kid's 3rd grade science fair project last month.

Just realized how much I learned from that old guy at the Ruby Falls gift shop.

My stubborn calcite vein took 3 whole days to map right because I kept mixing it up with the quartz next to it.

TIL my old rock hammer was slowing me down compared to a proper geologist's pick. The pick's pointed tip is way better for splitting shale.

I think the obsession with perfect quartz crystals is missing the point
