    Exploring Michigan's Geology—A Story Written in Rocks 

    Have you ever wondered what the rocks you find at the beach are? What stories they tell us? Rocks are like pages in a book, written in a language geologists have learned to read. Learn how to read the rocks of Michigan in the session. We'll break down how to identify rocks of all stripes—metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary—and explore what they tell us about Michigan's deep past. Bring along your favorite beachcombed treasures for identification!
