Very helpful! This issue occurs when trying to upload a photo to a record using the #irecord app. Intermittent, sometimes only affects 1 image file out of several. When I try the following day it seems to be fine. Using a Pixel 9 Pro XL & the Google Photos android app

@morgrugyn @privateshufti All photo IDs come with a massive disclaimer! 😁 However, I think they are probably "concretions" of pyrite, which have rusted under near-surface conditions. Concretions grow within the pores of muddy-sandy sediment during "diagnosis"which is the process of turning soft mud, sand etc into rock... If they are pyrite, they may smell a bit sulfurous, especially you whack one with a hammer...

#Geology query. Brother-in-law found these nodules on his property in Membury, East #devon Wondered if they are iron nodules? The lower one in both photos in particular is quite heavy. The local geology is "Cretaceous Upper Greensand capped by Chalk, which is often heavily broken up by flint and chert, or buried under Quaternary material".

There are also some fragments of what look like fossilised bone or antler.

Spending a few days in London & walked from Little Venice along the Regent's Canal to Islington. Very impressed with the repurposed gasometers in King's Cross. This whole area has been transformed since I was last here in the early 00s

Lots of #insects emerging with the sunnier weather locally. Brimstone butterflies in the garden this morning, a few solitary #bees around. Need to keep a lookout for #beeflies
