If you do not have it at the time of collection, you will get a zero for this grade. We will not return early from these trips, and we have no provision for making up missed trips. If you think you be unable to attend these trips, or need to get back early before class is over, for any reason, then you should enroll in Geology 101 instead. Safety in the Field Be careful when at road cuts. Do not back out into the road as you are looking at the outcrop.
Rocks are slippery when wet, be careful when climbing over loose rocks.
Wear safety glasses when using a rock hammer. Only use the blunt end of a rock hammer, not the pointed end. Do not stand too close to someone using a rock hammer, or watch them use a hammer, as pieces of rock fly off. Be aware of the people around you when you are using a rock hammer. Watch for rock fall near the edge of cliffs.
