Embedded Files
A virtual field trip to introduce students to the fine arts of field geology, and mineral and rock identification.
Learning Outcomes
Apply your skills of common mineral and rock identification
Analyse a range of relationships in igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
Use your knowledge of geological cross-cutting relationships to infer geological history at individual sites and begin to link relationships at multiple sites of a field area
Please note that not all outcrops you come across in the field are brilliant. Sometimes it takes a lot of searching and burrowing through the bush to find a decent exposure. Other times such as at site 4 there is only a small outcrop limiting what you can see.
For the best experience you should work in order through the links at the top of this home page and view this website on a desktop browser such as Chrome or Safari. Please have some patience when loading pages as some contain multiple images and 3D models.
