Just curious to know if any of us actually took any kind of geology class in another life? I had a college level geology class that involved a little local field work. University of Minnesota, circa 1973-74. One of my electives.
Anyone?
I’ll bet I sold the textbook to help fund my next semester of classes, doggone it!
I never have, but then again I majored in Business the in Respiratory Therapy. they didn’t offer anything like that where i went to school.
I have been looking for some Adult Ed classes but have not come across any yet. I don’t really want to take college credits for it. I have enough of those LOL I even looked into the Milwaukee Public Museum to see if they had anything
I threw a really interesting rock at a kid in grade school once. Little did I know that someday this would come back to haunt me with all of the caches hidden in ROCKS!

When I went to College (stone age) all of our classes were about geology. We just didn’t call it that. Any kid studying “geology” was a total geek (we called them nerds then).
No geology classes here. Wish I would have because I now work at the WEIS Earth Science Museum at UW Fox Valley. It is the official state mineralogical museum and focuses on Wisconisn geology. And compared to my coworkers – I need more than the basics. 🙂
My first undergrad was broad field science education which got me into the teaching world. Since my course work involved a little of everything, geology was on the list.
I don’t teach geology (prefer the chem) and never want to but the information does come in handy and I even still have the textbook I had to buy.
The rocks I was educated in are gallstones and kidney stones. I don’t remember exactly but I don’t think I learned about them in a geology class – lol.
No geology here. My daughter graduated from Madison in 06 with an undergraduate degree in geology. She showed me the fossils of trilobite butts along the river in Eau Claire that I made into an EC. She says there is an exposed fault line in a road cut in Chippewa, but cant recall where, so not much help there.
