Being the noob here I must ask, how does one read things like engravings and slabs? I've gotten Dacite at this game but am still learning the ropes as of Slately; like how all my efforts against sieges are Rutile and I never can seem to jet any type of iron ore.

When placing a slab (ALT+S) press X to select a specific slab, if you have engraved slabs in storage you should see "X named guy's slab", selecting it with V will bring up the item screen and description.

Using the K marker just shows the material name + slab.
Q tells you to whom it was engraved when placed, but nothing else.

Alternatively, once the slab is placed, use 't' to look at the building contents.

This thread inspired me to look over my memorials, all both of them,  and one of them says, "at one with bismuth"

The dwarf in question loved that particular rock, obviously. It's weirder when it says things like, "At one with pig tail fiber fabric."

[MadocComadrin]

I believe I had one that said "lover of ballista parts." XD

Was the geology injoke a reference to how easily schist breaks apart? As is, it's kind of like a mathematician being united with division in death.

Are people really not getting the joke?

Schist is pronounced "shist"

This is an old gag for me, I used to camp in the shadow of Mt Monadnock, dirty old pile of schist that it is. Just a huge, heaping mass of schist, dwarfing everything around it.
