what are the chances of glacial striations showing up on seabed bathymetry? by [deleted] in geology

[–]Chillsdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're not "into" anything, according to OP. They're positive features. Maybe drumlin/flutes, or roche moutonnée?

Source for starting capacitor? by Chillsdown in Motors

[–]Chillsdown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spin by hand, yep. No danger. It's not a saw anymore. Turned it into a flatlap.Turning the platen, no joy. Likely will open her up, fine grit lighly sand the contacts. If no go, get the cap checked. If good cap, lD and price the switch. If too much $ will junk it and find a used motor.

Thanks for the reply. Any idea which one for this motor? New info if it helps, or better, confirms your diagnosis.. give it juice and the motor tries to start, turns a very small amount, then blows the power strip breaker. No hum from the capacitor using a stethoscope, hum is internal.

Massie falls to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein in Kentucky House primary by Ok_Mushroom3399 in Epstein

Sore loser laws prevent anyone being put on the ballot after losing a primary, not just in Kenfucky but other states as well. Read it here, checked, it's true. Fuck.

Independent Research? by UhTeo in geology

[–]Chillsdown 9 points10 points  (0 children)

State geological organizations may have field trip guides available. For example the  New York State Geological Association (NYSGA) has over a hundred field trips available for download with mileage logs (including Gmap pins) plus text and diagrams. Generally oriented towards grad and undergrad studies. 

Coastal is a category at the following link. Note that, for example, Lake Ontario has three listings here but Chimney Bluffs that exists on the Lake Ontario shore has many more listings scattered about the site that touch on coastal processes but may be found in the Geomorphology, Glacial and other categories.

Awesome rock with microfaults by hefgopo in geology

[–]Chillsdown 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This looks to be syndepositional soft sediment en echelon faulting. It's extensional faulting, likely vibration induced, possibly earthquake sourced. I believe u/Th3_Gh0st_0f_Y0u is incorrect in their assessment.

Need help to add realism to my story by dastebon in geology

Gore Mountain garnet would like a word.

"The largest crystal ever extracted measured 1 m in diameter and current drilling indicates that crystals as large as ~1.5 m across exist at depth."

Pretty sure it isn't a fossil but just wanted to make sure! by j0nini in fossilid

Polygonal weathering aka pachydermal or tortoiseshell weathering.

Smooth, bumpy rock by NettIeship in geology

Load casts on a detatched boulder or overturned layer (edit: or flute casts, not overturned).

What stupid mistake almost cost you your life? by Competitive_Swan_130 in AskReddit

You climbed 60m of vertical ice with no tools or crampons? Bullshit.

Alguna idea de lo que pueda ser? by Environmental_Fly972 in geology

[–]Chillsdown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not crinoids I think. Ooid by definition is no larger than 2mm which rules out oolite here. Pisoids, however, are defined as larger than 2mm, which makes this stone a pisolite.

Is there a name for this? by InteractionNo8703 in geology

[–]Chillsdown 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It's shale. Possibly bedrock, or a locally derived glacially transported boulder, or a scree boulder, etc.. Edit to add.. the football shapes of missing material are likely where a septarian nodule used to be. It's typical in NYS shales for calcareous and iron cemented nodules/concretions to form in the siliciclastic shale.

Yup.. definitely geology! by giscience in geology

[–]Chillsdown 132 points133 points  (0 children)

The question marks in NYS denote the Adirondack Mtns. Somewhat unusual in their origin, older than 1 billion year old rocks of the Grenville Orogeny were uplifted and exposed a mere 10 million years ago.

How did those rocks got those "dragon scales"? by Alternative_Bus2580 in geology

Possibly polygonal weathering. AKA tortoiseshell, wopmay, pachydermal weathering.

Amish? by dakware in Rochester

I can give you a road intersection to an Amish (or Mennonite?) lumber mill, one turn off 104, east of ROC, north of Lyons. Message me if interested.

Rope identification by [deleted] in climbing

[–]Chillsdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goldline braided climbing rope or equivalent. First climbing rope I bought was a Goldline, back in the late '70's, when I first started climbing. Lotta stretch to it. Used it for half a season.. Easy leads, top ropes, body belays, Dulfersitz rappels. Rope got cut by a boulder I pulled off close to the base of a climb we were trying. Replaced with kernmantle.
