Geological Horror. You Find A Geode And Crack It Open And The Crystal Lining Its Walls Is Human Blood

I have another paleontology joke for y’all!

Why did Archaeopteryx catch the worm?

Because it was an early bird!

Daily affirmations for Paleontologists and people of similar professions: You CAN create a video tapping rocks/artifacts whispering "paleontology/(your field of study here)" I believe in you

Shout out to yet another day of me ignoring my homework! I knew you were there the whole time! I was consumed with self inflicted brain pain and did nothing! It's hard to be alive! Thank you!

I have made a new UQuiz:

What your opinions on dinosaurs say about you.

Have fun (it's a long one)

Trying to reorganize my rock collection on my shelf by how much I want the specific rocks to be displayed. The problem is that I'm a geology major and I love all of them

Perks about learning German is that it makes geology terms so easy to understand

Fenster = window; literally a term we use for erosion or tectonics revealing lower beds

Augen = eye; also literally used to describe eye/almond shaped mineral grains in metamorphic rocks like gneiss (which I learned is also a German word).

Lagerstätte(n) = bed, deposit, directly translates to "storage place"; sedimentary beds with excellently preserved fossils. Actually had to look up the meaning as I took only one class and knew what "stätte" meant.

Inselberg = island mountain; an isolated ridge surrounded by a flat plain or pediment

If you know French, geomorphology is gonna be an easy one. Rouche moutonnée, cirque, arête, lacustrine... those are the ones I know off the top of my head.

i always listen to the minecraft ost while doing my geology homework so now i just permanently associate minecraft music with rocks
