I don't think we got as far as fossils. Shame, really. I'm very interested in Palaeontology, and binge watch hours and hours of video documentaries relating to that.
Come to think of it, most of what I know today is generally from watching documentaries and Youtube videos.

Just so pleased Joe had leapt in with the geomorphology/geology explanation for you before I was back online to find you'd essentially asked the question you did without asking, Sue, if you follow 😉! Saved me a lot of effort and time certainly, as a once-upon geologist 😊.
It was a very interesting explanation!
As for remembering the names of things in geology (and pretty much every other subject), it's just the jargon, which as with anything, you'll remember if you use it often enough, and have to look it up every time if you don't!
I think I gave up about 100 pages into "Rocks and Minerals The Definitive Visual Guide" by Ronald Louis Bonewitz. It wasn't a course book, but a recommended tool for identification purposes. I still have it on my bookshelf - for identifying things. Maybe it goes into too much detail on the chemistry of each mineral. It all vanishes into a blur in my memory. I love watching Myron Cook videos on Youtube, though. I think process interests me far more than chemistry.
And things take the time to create that they do. Exploring new ways of doing things doesn't mean following a simple, easy, linear route those who haven't done that before can assume sometimes, after all 😁!
Absolutely true! I've shown some of the wacky things I tried along the way, but only about half of it.
