Just discovered @RandomOzChron πŸ‘ and life feels somewhat better. Everyone needs to meet a random rock, and know it’s age, every day #geology

How amazing are these beautiful rocks from my (birdapp) @SS_RockExchange Santa πŸŽ…πŸ» @rockdoctorkristy: rippled texture on late 1800s slag from Broken Hill, garnet+sill gneiss also from Broken Hill, and gorgeous pyrite and bornite from North Parkes, NSW! Thanks so much 😊 #geology #FreeRockFriday
Saw this book online … Tectonics you say? … I had to buy it! It’s fun so far (although I’m only up to the second β€˜Easy’ puzzle, maybe ask me again later!) #geology #suguru 🧩
This aerial view of the Ernest Henry mine (from standard Apple maps) reminds me of a circuit board! Perhaps appropriate given the end use of many metals, especially #gold, is within electronics: #geology is important! This mine is north of Cloncurry, Queensland, in middle Proterozoic (c. 1750 Ma) rocks of the Corella Formation and Constantine Volcanics #MountIsa #Cloncurry
Reflections and colours in Lake Moondarra, a critical water supply dam on the Leichhardt River north of #MountIsa #AlwaysAWindowSeat #KalkadoonCountry
Browsing photos from my recent #MountIsa field trip, and these Mica Creek Pegmatites are still impressive! Large #tourmaline, #muscovite, and graphic textured #feldspar and #quartz A late stage melt product associated with the nearby MesoProterozoic Sybella Granite 🀩 #geology
