He's gotten his rocks off at other places, but not at the Canyon.

4. And what experiments exactly would he have done with those rocks?

Scientific instruments cost money. Some cost shit-tons of money. If he's not working for some institution that would provide him with the instruments, there's zero chance his experiments would have yielded anything of interest.

And if he had worked for an institution with the means to do proper experiments, then he would have applied for the rock-samples with their help and not as a private person.

I don't see why he should be allowed to do destructive experiments (because he permanently removes the rocks) at a protected(!) site when there's little chance of an outcome.

For example: Solid-state physicists use the synchrotron-radiation of particle-accelerators (for particle-physicists a useless byproduct) for analysis of samples. But as their time is valuable, only scientists with a promising experiment get granted beam-time.

5. The Grand Canyon get's 4M vistors a year. What is everyone took 60 rocks?

That would be 240,000,000 rocks.

Screw him...take a picture and leave footprints.
