Is this sturdy enough to use on granite, quartz, and basalt?

Yes, absolutely! I used this hammer at geology field camp in 1983 on Colorado granite. Don't forget your safety glssses.

Can it work on halving small round rocks containing snail fossils without harming the fossil? I live in Canyon Lake TX and the museum here halved the

That depends on the material and how much force you use. If you are talking about a limestone the fossil itself may not be harder than the matrix, especially if the shell is old and was dissolved and replaced by lime mud, which can make a soft fossil in a soft rock. Some limestones are hard and breaking them will break your fossil. Don't count on it working unless the rock is much softer than the shell you want to preserve. You may try dissolving the rock like museums do, but again, this only works if the fossil is a different material than the matrix, such as silica or dolomite or pyrite. The hammer should break a soft shale or poorly indurated sandstone. Just be careful and don't swing too hard.

Works as promised

Colour is a bit different then the one shown in picture but works really good. Tried on some pebbles from river side. Nice product. A bit heavy and dangerous at its pick side. Use safety while using.
