geology students will literally say shit like “my dirt class was cancelled today” or “the professor for my class on sand gave us homework about worms” like we’re 8 year olds on the playground inventing new terms for playing in the grass during recess

I am obsessed with this now

Please show me more

More bismuth images :)

youtube

Here’s a short video on the process of making bismuth crystals, you can see at the start what raw bismuth looks like, which is naturally occurring + the process of making it into crystals :)

For similar stones see; druzy rainbow pyrite (left, naturally occurring) and titanium druzy quartz (right, man made)

AAH this is such a hard question haha

Thanks so much for asking @insectsinthestars ! I felt like this required some photos!

I truly do not think I have a favorite, I tried to pick one but I could not. I love them all so much. Here are a few that mean the most to me though!

This blob of Bryozoans! This one is special to me because it is a chunk of just pure Bryozoans, it is actually super light and REALLY delicate. Every time I set it down, it sheds some particles. The fact that this survived the elements for potentially hundreds of millions of years makes my heart tighten up.

These are also the largest branches I have found, by far! (Bryozoa are tiny tiny animals that live in colonies, similar to coral)

Of course, I have to include my ONE trilobite haha. Yeah, that was a good day. I kinda love that it is just his little booty, hehe. Maybe one day I will work up the courage to attempt to chisel the rest of it out, I just reallllly do not wanna damage it. But yea.. man, do i cherish it

And I would honestly feel bad not including any Brachiopods, since they make up 80% of my fossils. But again, I really can’t choose a favorite:( I have a lot and I love them all. So these one’s are from the very beginning of my fossil hunting days (2019) and I can still remember finding them and crying in the woods :’)

Paging Geology side of Tumblr!

....Rockblr? Is that what it's called?

Anyway, I found a special rock! And I'm hoping someone can tell me about it. are you ready?

OK, here it is:

It's a piece of slate--I'm pretty sure it's slate--from the shore of Lake Erie. What I'm wondering about is the textured bit. There were tons of pieces of slate on the beach, but I didn't see any others with anything like that. Is it maybe a fossil imprint, or the result of some interesting geological process?

Here's another angle of it:

Whatever it is, I think it's neat, and I'm hoping to learn more about it.

It followed me home, so I can take more pictures if needed.

(Note: The regional tourism bureau lists rock-collecting as one of the activities you can do on this particular beach, so this is an ethically-sourced rock.)

Carrying one rock hammer makes me feel very cool and sciencey and carrying two rock hammers makes me feel like a cartoon dwarf

That moment when you're so frustrated about old issues that keep cropping up involving a spirit you're no longer talking to, you contact a shaman.

Then, the next day, you face a freezing cold, rainy day to go to your favorite gem and mineral exhibition, and Loki leads you to a very rare crystal known for its spiritual healing properties.

sorry your boyfriend got subducted. yeah he’s reintegrating with the mantle and sinking down to the core mantle boundary where he’ll heterogenize and be immediately overlayed by more subducted slab material. yeah he’s completely unrecognizable from when he was on the surface and only detectable by slight differences in seismic wave velocity. sorry :/

So apparently it is ‘Fossil Friday’:) I like this term!

I cracked open that one from my last post and was rewarded with my favorite genus of Brachiopod, ✨ Leptaena ✨!! so beautiful..

Also I cracked open this mush

I managed to weasel this lady out!!

I am honestly not too sure what I am looking at in the 2nd photo, I am 93% sure this is half of a Brachiopod, so I am guessing those are the innards, so I am also guessing that that circle is the pedical, maybe? It is just so large?. I have never found one with the inside visible like this. And I just can not find any references I need .. anybody know?

Also another Leptaena was also in there

And an adorable Bryozoan sheet that makes me crave honey:)

And here is a better photo of the chisel project I was working on the other day! I am a little stuck on this one, I really do not want to damage the Crinoid, it seems so fragile..
