Features & Capabilities

Unlock Earth’s geologic wonders with Hutton.

Whether you are a seasoned geologist, a student, or a weekend rockhound, Hutton turns your smartphone into an easy to use, comprehensive geology field guide. Named after the father of modern geology, James Hutton, our app bridges the gap between deep scientific data and the joy of outdoor discovery.

Explore professional geologic maps

Powered by Macrostrat integration, Hutton provides a deep look at the ground beneath you.

• Real-Time Data: View interpretative geologic maps that update as you hike, climb, or drive.
• Formation Insights: Explore geologic units to learn about the surrounding rock’s age, lithology (rock type), formation, and stratigraphic name.
• Offline Access: Headed off-grid? Download maps and take the world’s geology with you, even without cell service.

Identify rocks and minerals

Never leave a mystery stone behind. Hutton offers a dual-approach to identification:

• Instant AI ID: Snap a photo for high-speed identification trained on thousands of verified mineral specimens.
• The "Scientific Method" Mode: If you want to be certain, Hutton guides you through a manual testing prompt. Answer questions about Hardness (Mohs Scale), Luster, Streak, and Cleavage to arrive at a professional-grade identification. It’s not just an ID—it’s a geology lesson.

Discover the ultimate rockhounding companion

Find your next treasure with our database of 32,000+ rockhounding sites.
• Know Before You Go: Get detailed info on what minerals are found at each site (Agates, Geodes, Quartz, and more).
• Site Insights: Each rockhounding location includes AI-generated identification tips, collector notes, and geological summaries to help you know what to look for.

Document your journey

• Document your expeditions with our "Trips" feature. Save photos of outcrops and write field notes directly to your GPS-tagged path.
• At the end of your journey, Hutton generates a beautiful, organized report summarizing your discoveries and the geologic formations you traversed.
