## Description

The Pocket Paleontologist - Small Metal Paleontology Ruler Scale, Mini Fossil Dig Multitool Gadget, Cool Tech Geek/Nerdy Archaeology Graduation Gift, Unique 3 Inch Metric Techie Tool - Genius Lab Gear

## Features

- Designed for Paleontologists in the Field and the Lab: From dinosaur fossil hunting to trilobite forensic cataloging in the laboratory, this pocket tool is a perfect every-day-carry addition to your digging kit. Designed by professional paleontologists to be compact and effective. Whether you’re knee-deep in fossil-rich soil or meticulously cataloging bone fragments under the forensic lab’s fluorescent glow, this pocket tool is your ultimate companion. A unique gift for fossil hunters!
- Full Geologic Time Scale Table: Pinpoint the age of fossils as you find them with the laser-engraved GSA “Eras of Life” table. Includes Eons, Eras, Periods, Epochs, and years (in millions) covering the full timeline of life on Earth. It’s like having a cosmic history book in your pocket. Perfect for college paleontology, archeology and geology majors, or hobbyist fossil hunters and rock hounds. Let your Geologic Time Scale Table guide you toward amazing discoveries.
- Beautiful Sketches For Accurate Notes: The built-in straight edge ruler, compass, and protractor help you accurately sketch your fossil specimen complete with precise angle measurements and dimension call-outs, making them easier to understand and catalogue later! As your specimen takes shape—the curve of a trilobite’s carapace, the sweep of a pterosaur’s wing, ammonite chambers—they emerge, precise and symmetrical! Don't forget the photo scale to calibrate your photos for reference!
- A Hard Reference When You Don't Have Cell Signal: The best fossil dig sites are far from cities and you may not have a signal. The unit conversions and geological timeline will always be handy for quick calculations and precise note-taking! The weight makes it a great paperweight for your field notebook and a bookmark to your latest page. For fossil hunting trips with your Paleontology club or to keep handy in your pocket when hiking - because fossils often find you when you least expect it!
- A Durable Field Tool: Made of 0.5 mm thick laser-etched stainless steel coated with a black enamel to smooth edges and built for a lifetime of use and abuse. Like a heavy metal credit card that won’t blow away at your dig site. No accidental paper cuts plus your sketches remain pristine. From your first fossil find to your retirement as a paleontological legend. Strong enough to pry up dirt when your dig kit shovel isn't at hand, and sturdy enough to drop on rocks without breaking or bending.
