1 Rocks and Mineral Mapping UTAH CORE CURRICULUM Grade K Standard III Objectives 3 a, c Grade 1 Standard III Objectives 3 c Grade 4 Social Studies Standard VI Objective 4 BACKGROUND Utah is a great place to find many different types of rocks and minerals. Find out which rocks and minerals are found where you live. Collecting rocks and minerals is a lot of fun, but remember that there are rules for collecting. Look on the Utah Geological Survey website ( for specific rules of collecting. MATERIALS Rocks and Minerals (obsidian, geode, wonderstone, sandstone, gneiss, etc.) Copies of Utah Map Colored pencils Book: Rocks, Minerals, and Fossil Localities of Utah PROCEDURE 1. Pass around each rock or mineral specimen as the teacher reads about where it might be found and any special information about it. 2. Have students draw a picture of the rock on the legend sheets (page 40-41). 3. Have students choose a color or pattern to represent the rock they have colored. Color the county in the legend this color or pattern. 4. Using the same color or pattern, mark the same county on the map of Utah (have students find the county by matching it to the shape on the legend). 5. Use the Rocks and Minerals Localities of Utah, A Collector s Guide to Rocks, Minerals and Fossils books, and the provided list to find other rocks and minerals found in Utah. Add on to the legend with this information.
2 ROCKS AND MINERALS FOUND IN UTAH 1. Obsidian is a dark, glassy rock that is formed when lava cools quickly. It is usually black, but it can also be red, brown, and white specked (snowflake). Obsidian has been used as an arrowhead, a cutting tool, and in jewelry. One of the places where obsidian is found in is the Black Rock Desert of Millard County. 2. Geodes are usually hollow rocks filled with minerals like quartz (which can be different colors). Geodes form when rocks have little holes or cavities that water is able to get into. The water allows minerals to precipitate into the holes and create crystals. A famous place in Utah to find geodes is known as the Dugway Geode Bed in Juab County. 3. Wonderstone, also known as picture stone, is a volcanic rock with iron staining that gives it banded colors and designs. Wonderstone can be found in Tooele County. 4. Granite is speckled with white and black colors. The Temple Quarry Nature Trail on the south side of Little Cottonwood canyon (Salt Lake County) is a great place to see this rock. 5. Sandstone is a rock made of layers of sand and can be found many places in Utah. Many of the features in Arches National Park (Grand County) are sandstone rock. 6. Gneiss is a rock with layers of minerals like mica, quartz and feldspar. A good place to see gneiss is in Farmington Canyon in Davis County.
