![]() Classic geological compassesĬlassic geological compasses that are of practical use combine two functions, direction finding and navigation (especially in remote areas), and the ability to measure strike and dip of bedding surfaces and/or metamorphic foliation planes. In this aspect the most common device used to date is the analogue compass. There are a number of different (specialised) magnetic compasses used by geologists to measure orientation of geological structures, as they map in the field, to analyse (and document) the geometry of bedding planes, joints, and/or metamorphic foliations and lineations. Some of the most common tools used are compasses, rock hammers, hand lenses, and field books. Geologists use a lot of tools to aid their studies.
