Any #geologists want to give their thoughts on this?

The video is enlarged 3 times and you can see the small grains, which makes me think it is extrusive, volcanic but the provincial maps say the rocks around here should be intrusive. I have also found a little bit of pumice but I wasn’t sure if it had been brought there or if it was natural.

And then there is the layers. Is it mica? It doesn’t peal.

Sorry for the not knowing anything. I have realized very late in life I love ancient rocks.

🌍🚫 Oh no, the "rare" alignment of three norths is ending! Quick, panic-buy your #compass before they become obsolete for another millennium. #Geologists everywhere must be devastated that their nearly imperceptible grid party is over. 🤷‍♂️🎉

‘Three norths’ alignment about to end - Spatial Source

The rare 'three norths' alignment of true, magnetic and grid north will likely not be seen again for several centuries.

#Geologists can anyone tell us about this stone? Is it metamorphic? What has caused the beautiful colours? Found in the bay of #kotor, #montenegro #adriatic

TIA!

“We Saw Them Moving in Sync”: Geologists Stunned by Mysterious Objects Aligning Deep Beneath Earth’s Surface - Sustainability Times

IN A NUTSHELL 🌍 Scientists discovered that objects are moving horizontally in the Earth’s mantle, nearly 1,864 miles beneath the surface, offering new insights into the D” layer. 🔬 Laboratory experiments at ETH Zurich revealed that post-perovskite crystals align under extreme pressure and temperature, explaining the acceleration of seismic waves. 🌋 This discovery confirms the

Today is day 7 of #30DaysWild. During early morning #hedgewatch, my humans met this #butterfly. It's a cinnabar #moth. It is because of the wonderful red colour, named after the #mineral #cinnabar. Our humans are #geologists and like that a lot 😹😻
