Your comment sent me on a quest for my copy of the Zim Rocks and Minerals and the Geology book, but I couldn't find them. I probably put them in some "special" place, now invisible.
Good chance they have it in the library, but it should be nearly 100% chance that I have them. Just can't find! I found the Zim books for Insects (1956), Birds (1956), Weather (1957), Fishing (1965), Seashores (1955), Zoology (1958), and The American Southwest (1960). Still can't find the others.
Also. That block diagram looks like a page out of the beloved zim science books I had in elementary school. Sigh.

Butte has been around awhile, do they still have a library? Or the grade school might have one?
Wow, am I old, huh?!

I did my MS thesis on Square Butte 1992. It's a magical place - the structure, the petrology, the wildlife, the views!
Nice!
Yeah. Richard, rock names are maddening, since everything grades into everything else. Ugh. Its one reason I like mineralogy over geology.
Shonkinite, schmonkinite.
I accept the need (and even value) for precise nomenclature in both minerals and rocks, but I also sometimes find it maddening!
Thanks! Of course I agree, they are works of both science and art, effective in both ways.
