Time for another "client ordered this and then cancelled project without a purchase order" This is Darwin Glass, a glass tektite formed by a meteor impact that created Darwin Crater in Tasmania about 816,000 years ago. I've got pieces around 10 grams in size

Flooded dunes of Lake Chad. I just like to look at them once in awhile. Sentinel 2. Imagine what the Madison drumlin field would look like if flooded.

Fossil plant (fern?) from the Kinney Quarry of New Mexico, Pennsylvanian age. I have 300 pieces I was assembling for a client who dropped the project. Anyway, if you're a paleobotanist, I'm looking to sell them at cost. May divvy it up later if I don't have someone who wants all.

I hate that I accidentally burned a few hundred dollars because I didn't know that when you sold your car, you had to contact your car insurance company and manually cancel the policy (and they want proof from the DMV). I thought it would be done automatically because of the VIN getting transfered

Devils Lake (ND) flooding occurs because there are no natural outlets to the lake until it reaches an elevation of 1458 ft. Back in 1993, it was ~1422 ft. At that elevation it covers ~69 sq. miles. Today, the lake surface is at 1449 ft, and it covers 213 sq. miles. ND is flat.

Hey so I'm stuck with about 120 lbs of Michigan tumbled copper nuggets after a client project got cancelled. If anyone is interested, I've got them on etsy, or happy to sell directly via DM for $20 a piece (free shipping if you're in the US)

It’s the Cambrian trilobite genus Olenellus from the Kinzer formation of Lancaster County, PA. There’s a surprising amount of Cambrian goodies from that formation but it’s hard to find outcrops.
