Sample bags used to be burlap, now everything's in plastic.

I remember using rough burlap sacks to carry rocks from the field. Now, we use sealed plastic boxes with scan codes. The old way let air get to the rocks, but the new way keeps them safe for lab work. It makes me think we focus more on keeping them perfect than feeling their weight.

My buddy tripped once because his burlap sack ripped open.
