Today in our Scotland fieldwork - we looked at pyroclastics in the Glencoe Caldera, and the lovely instrusions cutting across these. Look at how this dyke changes direction halfway through! We also had some pretty good views.. 🧪⚒️

Today's fieldwork was mostly setting up things for tomorrow... But check out this folded quartzite bed in a schist. If you look closely, you can see original cross bedding within the fold! 🤩 ⚒️🧪

Today in the
@uom-ees.bsky.social
field course, our students started mapping. They met these lovely structures - boudins -in which a quartz bed was stretched and split into segments that look like a string of sausages. ⚒️🧪

Yesterday and today have been an absolute treat in terms of both rocks and views for the
@uom-ees.bsky.social
geologists. The former has focussed on trying to understand large scale refolded folds, helped by obersvations small scale strucctures - such as those shown below ⚒️🧪

Today we switched our
@uom-ees.bsky.social
fieldtrip to older rocks - we are now in the highlands! The students got aquainted with the Moine today, and identified at least two episodes of folding, in what were sediments deposited over 800 million years ago! 🤩 🧪⚒️

Day four of the
@uom-ees.bsky.social
field trip to Scotland saw the students doing compass and pace maps of sediments and volcanoclasic rocks at St Monans. And it saw me finding some gorgeous cross bedding. There were dovecots, castles, and churches too. 🧪⚒️

Day three of the
@uom-ees.bsky.social
field course, and today we had imprints of big bits of ~320 million year old tree! Roots! Corals! Amazing burrows! ~320 million years ago, this part of Scotland was cycling between marine and terrestrial environments, creating packets of repeating s ⚒️🧪

Congratulations to Eve Gruntfest for her Mentorship Award from
@ametsoc.bsky.social
. Eve was an important influence early in my career, encouraging me and supporting me in the growing realization that meteorologists needed social scientists to help improve forecasts. A well deserved award!

For
#FossilFriday
meet something of a rarity - a fossil centipede. Like last week's fossil, this is a macerate - the remains of an animal dissolved out of a rock using strong acid. The fossil, called Devonobius, is from NY state, and is around 385 million years old. Isn't it cool? 🤩 ⚒️🧪🦀🦑
