Folded Ketchepedrakee Amphibolite in east central Alabama. Nearby, magnetite quartzite is found that is thought to be the metamorphosed material deposited by deep sea hydrothermal vents. We call this kind of distinctive highly weathered amphibolite 'brickbat'.
I am experimenting with @photoprism to organise my roughly 55000 photos on various digital platforms.
So far it's going impressively well.
But I was amused to see this one categorised as "office".
It's not actually wrong. But perhaps not what most people consider an office...
Here is a near perfect example of how sometimes rotting logs can be mistaken at a distance for an outcrop. On the left is a quartz rich graphite + garnet schist. On the right is a tree stump that is submerged under a lake for 2/3rds of the year.
Time for a #FridayFieldPhoto because it's #FieldWorkFriday
(Or perhaps a #FieldPhotoFriday entry)
More #DogSled on #SeaIce in Northern #Greenland from the spring this year..
Today I'm posting a tiny video as I've been working with some students on the data we collected this year.
How about a smashed pot found documented in situ in a Middle Bronze Age deposit?

(Too many pictures of dirt to choose from. An occupational hazard in #Archaeology)
Can we get #FieldPhotoFriday going over here? (Or #FridayFieldPhoto if you must).
Stumbled across this rat snake behaving weirdly. It didn't move an inch when I walked by it only a meter away. Its mouth was agape and eyes cloudy. I almost think it was dead.

Finally back in the field today, scouting out a new mapping area and looking for some graphite schist.
