Abstract
The functions attributed to the geologist's hammer at different times and in different places form the focus of this paper. Although today the geologist's hammer is certainly not one of the most important instruments of geology, it has long exerted an almost magical power in the geological imagination, and it is still associated with the geologist's profession and used as a logo by scientific associations. Like almost no other tool, the hammer is to be found in all areas of manual work in the early modern period. The predecessor of the geologist's hammer is the mountaineer's or mining hammer, from which the newly constructed geologist's hammer was already distinct by the end of the 18th century, when its form was being perfected. There are five different aspects which are important for analysing the hammer as a phenomenon: (1) Field work as a constitutive element in the establishment of geology; (2) The hammer as an instrument of classification (ca. 1780–1810); (3) The pre‐industrial origin and unchanged shape of the hammer in a highly technologized world—the hammer as a ‘fossil’ tool; (4) The tool as part of the geologist's body (an extension of the hand); (5) The individual relationship between owner and tool—the fetish of the geologist.
