On the left, a piece of lumpy crystalline pyrite. On the right, a twinned pyrite cube. They both have eyes and mouths drawn on them. The one on the left also has a pirate hat, a dagger and looks angry. Its speech bubble says , "Arrr! It's a pyrite's life for me!" The pyrite cube on the right looks worried and replies, "You fool! You'll never find any gold!"

Happy April Fool's Gold Day! #minerals #GeologistProblems

This is the way.

Also I deeply appreciate your need to provide the teacher with better class samples. Classic #GeologistProblems. 🤣

The hungry part of me says, "What a delicious sandwich!"

The geologist part of me says, "What a beautiful geological map!" ⚒️ #GeologistProblems

Zuck: The average American has three friends #GeologistProblems

"...even if there were some 'magic hole' in the earth’s crust that could miraculously spew out rocks every 10 years or so, modern society’s obsession with rocks means that we would still run out of them far more quickly than they could be replenished" #GeologistProblems

Yes, that is a beautiful rock that I would want to bring home but instead would take photos of and leave because I have too many rocks already.

Screenshot of text from website: Pet rocks can make great pets for those who have allergies, or tight budgets. They are good listeners, and learn tricks easily. Even small children can take care of them with ease, although adult supervision is advised if the pet is small enough to swallow. Pet rocks never die, because of which, they can be your soul-mate until the day you die.

Remember, a pet rock is for life, not just for Christmas

Three panel comic by BerkerleyMews.com. A little kid is kneeling in front of a Christmas tree and rummaging in a Christmas present box while exclaiming "What the-?"; their parents are looking on in the background. They lift up a lump of coal! Then add it to their rock collection which consists of three shelves full of quartz, coal, amethyst, pyrite, sodalite, malachite, alabaster, carnelian, and aventurine.

Twas the #MineralMonday before Christmas... #GeologistProblems #minerals

Me: Well, there is no universally accepted explanation for the Great Unconformity, but there are several hypotheses that all center around Rodinia's formation/rifting, global glaciation, and subsequent widespread erosion.
