	Limestone (he says, having just Googled). Sadly, from a photo or
a 
	distance one big grey lump of rock often looks like another big
grey 
	lump of rock. Geologists can be very cagey about this thing, as
many 
	things look alike from a distance, and they have a fragile ego. 
	They'll have their and lenses up close to a sample for ten
minutes 
	and still not give you an answer.
	
	If you're ever on an excursion, and a geologist says from a
great 
	distance, hey, look at that XXXXX, he's either been there
previously 
	or read the guidebook the night before. Most of us spend great
time 
	practising disguising our WTF is this stance...
