Guest Blog: What’s in a Geode?
By Peggy Fisherkeller
Curator of Geology, Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites
For my job as curator of geology, I get to do some excellent things. One of my favorites is identifying mystery rocks.
It usually starts with an email that goes something like this: “I don’t know if this is the right place, but I have this rock…†Rock identification isn’t the most common skill, but amazingly, it doesn’t do as much as you’d think to make me popular at parties.
