   The use of rock has had a huge impact on the cultural and technological development of the human race. Rock has been used by humans and other hominids for at least 2.5 million years. [22] Lithic technology marks some of the oldest and continuously used technologies. The mining of rock for its metal content has been one of the most important ...

   Tuff is a type of rock made of volcanic ash ejected from a vent during a volcanic eruption. Following ejection and deposition, the ash is lithified into a solid rock. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Rock that contains greater than 75% ash is considered tuff, while rock containing 25% to 75% ash is described as tuffaceous (for example, tuffaceous sandstone ). [ 3 ]

   A geode is a simple term for a rock with a hollow in it, often with crystal formation/growth. A thunderegg on the other hand is a specific geological structure . A thunderegg may be referred to as a geode if it has a hollow in it, but not all geodes are thundereggs because there are many different ways for a hollow to form.

   The result is a distinct boundary of very fine grain igneous rock along the border of the country rock. [3] The surrounding rock may be "baked" through contact metamorphism, resulting in non-foliated metamorphic rocks. [1] Rocks that were originally limestone, quartz sandstone, and shale become marble, quartzite, and hornfels, respectively.
