Rocks


 * Students: Go to my blog and download the photos of the rocks I've put under the 'September 8, 2009' blog. Choose one photo to put on this webpage under Chris's Rock Collection. Please describe the rock features and then use your description and Chris's information to identify the rock you have chosen. Finally, give credit to the source(s) you used to identify the rock. Was Chris the source? Did you use my rock book? Did you find a website online?

Chris's Rock Collection**

Sample 1:

Description: The exterior of the rock is gray and rough. The center of the rock is hollow and is lined with gray-brown crystals. Identification: Geode Identification Source: Chris identified it as a geode and Ms. Gordy also recognizes it as a geode. The wikipedia entry on geodes also confirms this, but I will look for a more reliable source.
