Collected some very nice prehnite this morning from a temporary construction quarry on Mull. Alas, planning regulations require the quarry to be backfilled in a few weeks, so the locality will be destroyed soon after being found. ☹️ Thanks Calum for access 👍 #Minerals #Geology #Mull #Prehnite #Geoconservation

Today's task: collecting glacial erratics from outwash gravels of the Briton's Lane Formation in Norfolk (UK) (Anglian/Elsterian stage of the Pleistocene) : scourings from earlier formations in the western North Sea region, incl granites, gneisses, ORS breccias & conglomerates, quartzites, porphyries, dolerites, ferricretes, a migmatite ... all weltering in monstrous quantities of grey Lincolnshire flint. To research & interpret them for SSSI quarry restoration plans. #geology #geoconservation
