Description

Rock Sample Card The present invention relates to a rock specimen card used as a learning aid, and more specifically, to a rock specimen card that allows for convenient and stable storage and use of rock specimens. Rock specimen cards are designed to show specimens of the most basic rocks found on Earth to students new to geology. The cards feature a wide variety of types, including igneous rocks, basalt, gabbro, granite, rhyolite, sedimentary rocks, conglomerate, limestone, sandstone, shale, metamorphic rocks, gneiss, marble, quartzite, and schist. These cards can be observed and studied by students in geology classes, and they can also be displayed. Additionally, each card includes the name of the corresponding rock and a brief description, which aids in learning about rocks. Traditional rock specimens used in schools and academies consist of actual rocks with numbered stickers inside wooden or plastic boxes, with the names of the rocks corresponding to the numbers written on the inside of the lids. If the numbered stickers fall off during use or if the specimens are not organized properly after use, students or users observing them later may obtain incorrect information about the rocks, making it difficult to conduct proper rock learning or education. Furthermore, rocks may go missing during storage, and organizing the heavy specimen boxes is strenuous. Additionally, the inclusion of rocks not covered in the curriculum of various schools hinders effective education. As an alternative, there is a product sold as a ‘rock specimen handbook’, which consists of a total of three plates with nine specimens per plate. It is heavy and bulky, making it difficult to organize or move and taking up a lot of storage space. Additionally, there is the inconvenience of multiple people having to observe a single set simultaneously, and there is an economic disadvantage in that the entire set must be repurchased even if some rock specimens are lost. In addition, there are products sold on the market called 'rock cards,' but since these cards are simply cards with printed photos of rocks, they have the disadvantage of significantly reducing learning effectiveness because users cannot touch or visually observe the actual rocks. FIG. 1 is a front view and a rear view of a rock specimen card according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a rock specimen card according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a front view and a rear view of a rock specimen card according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a rock specimen card according to another embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this is not intended to limit the technology described in the present invention to specific embodiments, and it should be understood that the invention includes various modifications, equivalents, and/or substitutions of the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, the terms used in this invention are used merely to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of other embodiments. Terms used in this invention that are defined in general dictionaries may be interpreted as having the same or similar meaning as they have in the context of the relevant technology, and are not to be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this invention. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention for solving the above problem will be examined together with the attached drawings. FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2 are drawings for explaining an embodiment of the present invention. It is a form in which a rock specimen (12) to be observed is attached to the front of a card body (10) made of a lightweight material such as thick paper or wooden plywood. A name section (14) is placed on the upper part of the rock specimen on the card body, which lists the name of the rock specimen, such as 'basalt' or 'granite', so that the user can easily recognize the name of the rock specimen on the card. On the back of the card body, a sample description section (16) containing text or drawings including an explanation of the rock sample is placed. For example, if the rock sample is basalt, an explanation of the characteristics of the basalt is written, and the process of basalt formation can be described in an easy-to-understand manner through drawings. The size of the rock specimen card can be made small enough to be held and observed with one hand, taking into consideration ease of observation and convenience of portability. By utilizing rock specimen cards of this configuration, users can experience the rock specimen on the front of the card by looking at and touching it, and learn by looking at the descriptions and diagrams written on the back of the card. FIGS. 3 and FIGS. 4 are drawings for explaining
