About the Geology Protractor
Our Geology Protractor is designed to make your life a little better. It does this in several ways:
First, it puts 0° at the top where north is. It’s a small difference, but after always using a protractor and constantly turning it 90° to get the angle from north, I thought it would be nice to have 0° at the top.
Second, the smaller form factor (45x90mm, or about 1.75 x 3.5”, compared to ~4x6” normally) makes it easier to work with on smaller maps in the field.
Third, our “fluorescent red” acrylic protractor is next to impossible to lose in the field thanks to how bright it is.
Available in Three Materials:
1/4” “Fluorescent Red” Acrylic:
Our most popular version, it is bright and visible. Sized so that a tough, clear tape (such as Gorilla or T-Rex brand) can be added on one side to increase durability.

1/8” Transparent PETG:
PETG is very durable
45 or 90mm tall
Half-Circle or Rectangle Format.
1/8” Transparent Acrylic
Less durable than PETG, but more scratch resistant.
