It is called petrology.
people who specialize in rock fossils are called paleontologists
They could be a rock-hound, a geologist, a petrologist, or a mineralogist, depending on their educational background and field of interest.Petrologists study rocks and mineralogists study minerals.
The study of rocks is known as petrology, while the study of soil is known as pedology. Both fields involve examining the composition, formation, and characteristics of rocks and soil, respectively.

The fundamental sedimentary rock unit is called a stratum or a bed. It is a relatively thin layer of sedimentary rock that is distinguishable from overlying and underlying layers based on characteristics such as composition, color, and texture. Stratigraphy, the study of rock layers and layering, relies on the identification and correlation of these rock units.
Rockhound. Those who study this professionally are called petrologists.
Question is not stated properly. What it seems to be asking is the relationship between rocks and Geology. Rocks are basically what the Earth is made of...you have tiny tiny rocks....great big giant rocks....melted rock. Everything that is not water or air is rock and is therefore a part of the study of the Earth...that we call Geology.
rock called basalt
To become conversant with rock formations one would need to study the Earth Scienes. The study of geology would lead one to become conversant with rock formations.
It wouldn't be a chemist; a type of scientist called a petrologist or mineralogist studies rocks and their minerals.
The study of rocks is called geology. Geologists examine the composition, structure, and properties of rocks to better understand the Earth's history and processes. Through the study of rocks, geologists can also learn about past climates, environments, and geological events.
