@mikamckinnon potato rock 🤎 #RockCheck

Things that make me happy:

The results of a Rock Check are roughly consistent independent of platform.

Edited to add results screenshot as apparently that glitches across instances.

A happy discovery today in the classroom: a piece of granite from the Rockies I’d brought in earlier in the semester to illustrate igneous rock textures, that I’d apparently just left behind! For shame, past me!

@mikamckinnon is always exhorting us to #RockCheck and I didn’t listen. But it’s safe now.

@mikamckinnon Will you accept slabs of Minnesota Ordovician limestone?

#RockCheck

What better way to start a new platform than by finding those who appreciate #rocks #minerals #geology & #geo?
