Geologist goes to another planet - fails to pick up a single rock. Really? Why not..?

A definition of geology;
Quote1 The science which deals with the physical structure and substance of the earth, their history, and the processes which act on them.
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/geologyOnce he left the ship in the beginning of the mission Fifield did his job as a geologist when he;
1. Used instruments to show that the dome/pyramid's structure was hollow.
2. When Fifield used the PUPS to determine the structure of the tunnels.
* Also, Fifield was not on earth. He would be doing what's called 'planetary geology'. With space exploration a geologist does not even need to be on another planet to do geology.
QuotePlanetary geology includes such topics as determining the internal structure of the terrestrial planets, and also looks at planetary volcanism and surface processes such as impact craters, fluvial and aeolian processes. The structures of the giant planets and their moons are also examined, as is the make-up of the minor bodies of the Solar System, such as asteroids, the Kuiper Belt, and comets.
