Raindrop impressions-- a light sprinkling from perhaps a Tuesday afternoon, some 300 million years ago, give or take. From the Maroon loessite, Colorado. #loess #dust #raindrop #paleoweather
In honor of Thin-Section Thursday, here is a really disrupted rock. Field of view ~10 mm on left and ~5 mm on right. Plane light. Black is hematite, the rest mostly quartz and very altered feldspar with a few mafics. The origin of the disruption remains under study.
To boldly go into the core lab in search of really old core... and discover some from an age when split infinitives were less acceptable.

An undercover sting operation has exposed a Saudi Arabian government plan to artificially raise global oil demand just days before climate crisis talks begin in the UAE, Channel 4 News can reveal.
A reminder to search committees-- please do not ask for recommendation letters for every candidate, ie-- before an initial screening. Doing so wastes many hours for many people.
