Welcome to the Rock Archive!
Here at the Rock Archive, we explore the current state of knowledge on the co-evolution of life and Earth’s changing environment using simple illustrations.
We touch upon key subjects such as:
The rock record

Tools we use
How do we extract meaningful information out of rocks? Discover how geologists work in the lab and field.
