Title

Rock samples

Having access to a large collection of rock photos which have been obtained from all over the world together with related information could help geoscience experts identify or locate rocks and therefore obtain a general insight into the lithology at a given location.
In this regard, geoscience experts are encouraged to share their data to enrich this collection. To make information more accessible, this post’s title and the following parameters are suggested as a topic and post structure, respectively. However, participants can use the title and parameters of their own.

Abbreviations:
* LU: Lithological unit
* GC: Geographic coordinates

Convention:
* Node text: Rock sample name (Age of the LU) - Map name (Map scale)
