Rocks-everywhere - Science, Plants, Cats, Music, And More

A Rainbow of Light Diffracts Through Hummingbird Wings in Photographs by Christian Spencer

the fact that we can map sedimentary units from space is really cool and also Mars is cool!

This world isn't ready for geocore. This world can't handle it. It's too powerful. Imagine turning every aspect of geology and geologists into a fun aesthetic... All the nerdy rock puns, sciencey bits, dirt digging, bone and stone hoarding glory of geology turned into a fun little collection of pics and beautiful writing to perfectly capture the feelings of geology.

We can make beautiful poetry about the gorgeous array of colors inside a single stone or silly little ones like "hot hot rock, rock so hot, bake on it potatoe tot". Y'all. Geocore would fucking slap as an aesthetic thing. It'd be like normal geology but with more.

On one side this may look like just a ordinary clam shell but when you flip it over it contains beautiful golden calcite crystals. The crystals formed when the clam died and a cavity formed allowing the crystals to develop. Took over two million years to do this. Found on the east coast of Florida in Brevard County.

Did you know many regular sidewalks can have body or trace fossils on them? Here I show you a sidewalk in southern Brazil (Dois Irmãos-RS) with marine invertebrate displacement trace fossils. These rocks are from the Late Carboniferous Rio do Sul Formation (Paraná Basin). Your strolls in town will never be the same now!
