My hand holding a clump of grayish sandy clay, with a textured surface. The background features sandy soil with small rocks and debris.

A close-up of a tan, fossilized rock containing various marine fossils, including shells and other organic remains.

Now, when I find #clay in #Florida, the dominant feeling is familiarity instead of curiosity. I’m really beginning to get to know this piece of Earth. We went on a short trip about two hrs south and a construction site caught my eye so we pulled over. Lots of […]

A crowd of geologists inspect a rock outcrop in a railroad siding. Some small railcars are stopped on the tracks. Green grass in the foreground, trees along the skyline with a clear blue sky above.

A unique geology field trip by train. Exploring the rocks of the Sierra foothills along the Amador Central Railroad. I learned a lot about the Ione kaolinite, deep weathering in the Eocene, oxisols, plus some neat volcanic rocks and lots Mehrten Formation bowling balls.

The Natural Bridge in Slade, Kentucky, is a natural sandstone arch formed after millions of years of erosion by water and wind. In this photo one side of the rock bridge appears against the blue sky, surrounded by trees that have just started to bloom in spring. The bridge is about ten meters high. There is a wooden fence under it, guiding a hiking trail.

A friend of mine also found this trilobite fossil. It’s over 400 million years old and still clearly preserved.

Lovely!

It was great to meet so many future #EarthScientists at our Experience Day

We really enjoyed meeting you all & helping you explore how we use rocks & fossils to explore past environments

Looking forward to welcoming you to Derby in Freshers week!

Himalaya to Tibet orogen show that extensional and transtensional faults drive upper-crustal meteoric circulation that vents the convergent orogen, and that southern Tibet’s upper crust is relatively hot despite colder Indian lithosphere at depth.
