200g Geological Hammer Fossil Collecting Tool & Certificate of Authenticity

£30.00

Suitable for Children

This hammer is the widely used in the UK for children. This is because it is made from the hardest tampered steel suitable for hitting rocks, and also of a small size. The benefit of Hickory hammers is that they absorb shock much better than solid forged ones. They have been specially made for children having very slightly rounded edges on the chisel edge, ensuring it is not dangerously sharp.

7oz (200g) – 280mm (length) x 95mm (head)

We also sell 100g and 500g for children.

An important note when buying geological hammers

“Whilst any good ironmonger can supply cold chisels and strong knives or trowels, he is very unlikely to have safe and suitable hammers in stock. The steel of ordinary domestic and many trade hammers is far too soft for use on most rocks. It will splinter and flying fragments of steel can cause nasty wounds, particularly to the eyes, not only of the hammerer but also of his companions.”

Description

Geological Hammer for Fossil Collecting

This 200g Geological Hammer is a practical tool for fossil collectors, field researchers, geology students and anyone interested in examining geological specimens. Its clearly stated weight makes it easy to identify within a collecting kit, while its geological hammer design is suited to hands-on work connected with rocks, fossils and geological material.

Fossil and Geological Collecting Use

A geological hammer can be used as part of responsible fossil and geological collecting activities, including field examination, specimen preparation and the study of rock surfaces. When working outdoors, collectors should follow local regulations, obtain permission where required and use suitable protective equipment. Eye protection, gloves and safe handling practices are recommended whenever using a hammer around rock or geological material.

This listing is focused on the supplied product identification: a Geological Hammer weighing 200g. It can be included in a fossil hunting bag, geology field kit, educational collection or general rock and fossil examination setup. The tool may also be useful for collectors who want a dedicated geological implement rather than relying on an unsuitable household hammer.

Collector and Educational Interest

Geological tools are an important part of practical fossil collecting because they support direct observation of natural rock and sedimentary material. A hammer may be used alongside notebooks, specimen labels, brushes, magnification and protective storage during fieldwork or study. It can also make a useful addition to a geology classroom, amateur palaeontology kit or display of fossil collecting equipment.

The product name and supplied information identify this item as a Geological Hammer, with a stated weight of 200g. No additional fossil identification, locality or geological formation is assigned to the item in the supplied product information. The focus is therefore on the collecting tool itself and its role in fossil and geology-related activities.
