Posted in the past but finally got skme better video. I found a small cave years ago. Saw a snake crawl into a small hole, later removed debris and enlarged the hole and found this. Went in a few times before but stayed right at the opening because I was paranoid. Finally explored it a little better last week. It turned out to be larger than I thought. It is only about 9' from the opening to one wall but then it goes off to right for an unknown distance. I did not notice a hole at the back of that part before. It becomes too narrow but I could not see how far it went. This part is visible ..read more

Turned up randomly on the desk one day, sorry for bad lighting. One face was polished after randomly finding this sample. Lots of garnets :) submitted by /u/Dinoroar1234 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi everyone, So, I was out sampling today and came across an interbedded silstone and conglomerate unit. Proximal to these outcrops, there is the most puzzling volcanic rock I have ever seen. It appeared to be conglomeratic with a volcanic ( black, aphanitic) matrix. The matrix was sharp and porous. I was thinking it was possibly a flow breccia, but almost all of the clasts (silica/chert) were rounded to subrounded. Could this mean that the volcanism interacted with the conglomerate? Relative ages: The volcanics are much younger (by ~100ma.) than the sediments. Does anybody have an idea as to ..read more

This was the bonus question on my historical geology final. I thought it was fun to answer so wanted to see what some of y'all's thoughts are!

I graduated with a bachelors in geology back in fall 2021 and didn’t do research on the side while in school. Since then I’ve been working in the nonprofit arts education field where I’ve worked as a teaching assistant and teaching artist which entails visiting public schools and teaching art and dance. I applied for a project analyst job that seems pretty manageable to do based off the job description, but I saw someone on LinkedIn with the exact same job from the same company with an environmental studies/international affairs degree, and some research experience, I’m starting to think the ..read more
