Calcite is a fantastic mineral to demonstrate double refraction! It splits light, creating a strong double image… the distortion is directional

First international conference ✅ Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Geobiology Society Conference 2025 in beautiful Banff, Canada! Gave my first lighting talk, met a lot of great people and tasted my first Caesar (made with clamato juice… another first for me)

These are the neptunian dykes in the Teena Dolomite from the McArthur Basin! Fractures are infilled with different types of fibrous carbonate cements

This event appears to coincide with other tectonic events identified in the Carpentaria Zinc Belt, and may be responsible for the deposition of shales that host the large stratiform zinc deposits in this region

Tectonically-induced neptunian dykes and breccias of the Paleoproterozoic Teena Dolomite: Significance to stratiform zinc deposits in the McArthur Basin, Australia A widespread system of breccias and neptunian dykes is present within the Paleoproterozoic Teena Dolomite of the McArthur Basin. Most breccia types wi…

Excited to share my first paper, recently published in Precambrian Research! We describe extensive synsedimentary neptunian dykes and breccias in the McArthur Basin, Australia, possibly resulting from an extensional tectonic event ~1640Ma.
