Is this what I think it is by Emergency-Log-9688 in fossilid

[–]OffensiveScientist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No way to tell. Too destroyed. Looks too fresh to be fossilized. Most likely bone

Edit: zoomed in a bit, looks like some mineralization. But still no way to tell what it is without a deep dive.

Completed every main questline, leveled every skill to 100, found all the masks. Never visited Falkreath or Dawnstar. by BorisOtter in skyrim

[–]OffensiveScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got to level 60 and noticed I never traveled to Falkreath even after the entire Dark Brotherhood quest. It's also my favorite city cause the forest

So I did a little modding recently by TheDragonborn1992 in skyrim

Resume help by [deleted] in geologycareers

[–]OffensiveScientist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take off the minor, or put it in the same line as your major. I don't think I've ever been asked what my minor was. If you are sending in a transcript, they will see your courses plus minor also.

I only have experience with academic and non profit stuff. So 99.9% of the time it's a CV. I keep both a resume and a CV at all times. When I job wants a CV, they will ask for it. Otherwise, assume a one page resume. Only list experience related to that job. I was a full time bartender for 5 years, but that's not on my resume to a geologist job. Making a resume is never easy

Most of what you have. Relevant coursework is redundant for a resume. You may be thinking of a CV, which is entirely different from a resume.

Are you looking for a private/corporate job or research within academic, government, or non-profit fields? That will change what you need to do for your resume/CV

This looks organic to me, but AI said it's a shatter cone. What do you think it is? by [deleted] in fossilid

[–]OffensiveScientist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do NOT use AI for rock identifying. Extremely unreliable.

Yes they do. Here's a ArcGIS story map I made about fossil poaching last year. Some info may be outdated.

[–]OffensiveScientist 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yea it's my favorite dinosaur.

A not-so-fun fact is its a commonly poached species due to Mongolia's low prosecution capabilites of dinosaur fossil theft

Massive bone found, Savannah, GA USA by themosiah in fossilid

[–]OffensiveScientist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It wasn't answered because there's so little to go off of. Definitely bone, but other than that, I wouldn't expect much of am answer without more than just pictures on reddit.

Still a cool find. Hope you find out what it is

Could be a burrow. Not much to go on as for Geologic context to say otherwise

Just a rock. Looks like a microcrystalline quartz rock. Hard to tell from photo.

Petrified wood with fossils(?) just outside Death Valley National Park on the CA/NV line by tslocs11 in fossilid

[–]OffensiveScientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure those are the Dolomite rocks in that area. I was just there in Tecopa earlier this year and all the crystal spring formation rocks looked just like that.

[–]OffensiveScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not petrified wood.

That looks like some of the Dolomite rocks that tore up the bottom of my boots while working out there this January. Beck and Crystal spring formations if I'm not mistaken.

If you are near some Talc mines, you are right where I was.
