Geology puzzles show rock faces, fossils, sediment layers, lava, flint and the textures of stone shaped over millions of years. They are the building blocks of the ground under your feet, seen up close.

In a close-up picture quiz, rocks are tricky because weather and time wear them down until different types look similar. Look for how the rock was formed. Layers and stripes suggest sedimentary rock like sandstone, speckled crystals of different colours point to granite, and bubbly holes are a sign of volcanic rock. Curved, shell-like breaks usually mean flint or obsidian, and any spiral or leaf shape could be a fossil hiding in plain sight.
