Isnāt it interpreted as either Sevier or Laramide thickening, depending on where you are? So northern NV would be Sevier, but southern AZ would be Laramide? Sevier thrusts are exhumed in NW NV (see Art Snokeās Ruby MMC stuff), and Jay Chapmanās NA Anatectic Belt work focuses on Laramide processesā¦

When your alma mater dug their structural geology hole, you definitely get to giggle when they canāt find their way out of it, right? (lines vs planes and whatās required to reconstruct a strain field if youāre wondering, Marrett and Peacock would be SO disappointed)

When I was TAing a structural geology class in grad school, the senior & very southern professor explained in detail to the class how he had named Chunky Gal Mountain in western North Carolina after a āvoluptuous young woman [he] once knew.ā One of them turned an impressive shade of beet red.

Quick crowdsource question: has anyone sent untrimmed, oriented samples to Wagner Petro for this sections? I have some that I NEED to get out the door for undergrad thesis work, but between work in our rock prep room and safety issues with ortho-ordered limited mobility in one arm, I canāt cut now.

ā¦donāt will be.ā I donāt think we can sidestep the history of the field or the attraction to the macabre, which is also important, but we gotta do a better job of humanizing a very unhuman field that has increasing societal relevance during the āgreenā energy push.

Another data-void reply, but I rented equipment from PASSCAL. The past few days have been understanding methods and applications of seismic and GPR. I have a group whose final project is designing and executing a data collection campaign on GPR-negotiable (i.e., accessible) terrain.

Sure, gem quality stibnite is stunning, but letās be honest, itās mostly just toxic. Quartz on the other hand, in addition to abundant scientific utility and geologic significance (it defines strength of the upper-middle crust!), is beautiful even at its least prismatic.

Three Fun Facts: 1) Paxlovid works 2) It can apparently leave a terrible taste in your mouth as long as youāre taking it. 3) A Dyson V8 works wonders to clean the dirt off the bottom of your tent & ground cloth when you break camp in the rain AND get home in the rain AND catch COVID in the field.
