NömenlōonyAbsolutely gorgeous rock found on Dunster beach.
The quartz vein is absolutely perfect. We've not identified the other types of rock yet.
Paul HouleSo I understand the striations in rocks at the beach in New Hampshire come from heating and cooling deep in the Earth: some of them get etched by seawater and you can see flakes coming off

Assistant Professor - Mineral Science - Houston, Texas, United States
Department: Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Salary: Commensurate with experience Description: The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) at the University of Houston (UH) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the broad field of Mineral Science. Applicants with experience in high-temperature geochemistry, mineralogy, igneous petrology, and/or metamorphic petrology are encouraged to apply. EAS seeks candidates who utilize multi-scale field, laboratory and/or modeling approaches to understand the petrogenesis and occurrence of mineral resources.Successful candidates are expected to build active collaborations within and outside the university, to promote synergy with existing research at UH, to develop externally funded research programs that are...
Jason"Bevan started his geological work in #metamorphic #petrology, and his PhD centered on stability of siderite and metamorphism of iron formations in the Minnesota iron range. At a geological conference in Minneapolis[...], Bevan gave a talk about his thesis work there, which attracted a smart lady who was working for an iron-mining company. Two years later they married. Mary Hill French became a close partner in editing [his] manuscripts and joined in all the travels around the world." #geology
John Faithfull 🌍🇪🇺🏴🧡✊🏻✊🏿#FoldFriday or is it #FridayFold ? Anyway , freshly bathed in this morning's early light, here's a lovely wee fold in kyanite-grade Moine schists above Loch Assapol in Mull. Fingertip at left for scale. 😊🥰 #Geology #Mull #Metamorphic
Just in time for a slightly late #ThinSectionThursday! Here's some fabulous piemontite: a manganese epidote mineral that shows amazing pink-yellow-plum pleochroic colour change. The two images below show the same grains under plane polarized light, but rotated through 90 degrees . The clear mineral is quartz, and there are also some large flakes of very pale pink Mn-rich muscovite mica. This sample is from near Tongue, in Sutherland. #Geology #Metamorphic
Bill MinarikFrom Barb Dutrow, LSU:
...we announce the passing of a metamorphic petrology legend, Michael J. Holdaway on March 21, 2025, at 89 years.
Mike is perhaps best known for his meticulous experiments on the Al2SiO5 system and for developing the andalusite weight loss method for determining reaction direction. At Southern Methodist University his work provided experimental constraints on the triple point of the polymorphs for the first time.

#FridayFold An old picture of a limpet enjoying some beautiful folded greenschist-facies pelite in a rock pool near Thundergay, on the west coast of Arran. The pale bands are rich in fine-grained muscovite; the dark bands also have chlorite. The few rusty spots mark the position of pyrite crystals.

Out looking at metamorphic rocks on the south coast of Mull last week. We weren't expecting an ostrich! 🤯 🤩 😁 #Pareidolia #ThingsThatLookLikeOtherThings #Mull #Ostrich #Moine #Metamorphic
