Most people think geology is about naming rocks. It isn’t. Naming rocks is the last step, and for most people, it’s the one that keeps them blind. What actually matters is process. Heat. Pressure. Fluids. Time. Every rock under your feet is evidence of something that happened. Your job isn’t to collect names—it’s to reconstruct the event. When you walk through the woods or across a ridge, you’re not seeing a random mess. You’re standing inside the frozen history.
