Maxwelton GeoSolutions can help your non-profit caving group find caves! If you have a dig or a project that could benefit from a non-invasive method of exploration to help narrow down a digging project, we can help. We can offer our microgravity services to your group. Microgravity can help with digging decisions at a cave or dig project. Please email Jeff at or contact us for more information on this offer.

Citizen Caver Scientist Kit
This package is designed specifically for cavers, and especially for “sport” cavers. The Citizen Cave Scientist Kit is a simple, economical, cave-ready kit that contains many tools for helping the typical caver learn more about the various aspects of caving. Of course, one goal is to help spur more interest in the science of caves, but it can lead to some interesting and fun observations as well. The kit is small enough to carry in a standard cave pack, light-weight, and water-resistant. The kit includes the following:

1. Two Rite-in-the-rain tablets of waterproof paper for taking notes.
2. Two mechanical Pencils.
3. One small 6-inch ruler.
4. One water sampling tube.
5. One roll of brightly colored flagging tape.
6. Five small zip-lock type sample baggies (remember, it is illegal to take anything from a cave—for surface use only).
7. One small bottle of HCl (for testing for limestone or dolomite).
8. One small compass (for navigation and determining strike and dip of rock beds).
9. One small thermometer for taking and monitoring temperature readings in cave.
10. One whistle (for communicating).
11. One small marker for marking tubes or sample baggies.
12. Mineral hardness kit for aid in identifying minerals (one penny, one nail, instructions, and a laminated key).
13. Laminated fossil guide.
14. Laminated biological guide for commonly seen cave life.
15. Laminated geologic guide of commonly seen geologic features in caves.
16. Laminated guide to measuring strike and dip.

All materials are packaged in a small waterproof and cave-resistant box that is easily packed in a cave pack. Contact us for pricing information.
