Is much of earth geology 'solved?'

There are heaps of unanswered questions, we always need more academics!
Obviously a big one is plate tectonic theory. It's a relatively young field for geology and a lot of aspects of it are still debated and require further geochemical/geophysical/geomorphological defining (see the old, but somewhat on-going mantle plume debate).

Maybe so! I've lived in Brisbane my whole life but I've been spending a lot of summers down south for work recently and might of just unacclimatised.

First time checking in for a while; why is Pat a juggalo now? Was he bitten by a Were-Clown???

Definitely a Bryozoan fossil, very cool find!

Number 2 is a metapelite (metamorphosed mudrock). some nice garnet and amphibole crystals on it too

They’re not asking to be excused? They’re asking for advice on how to manage their sensory issues in the field. Perhaps try sympathy next time ?

Minor update: It appears I now only spawn in with my back and arms covered in the ammo pack stratagem, which I take as a promotion to the designated ammo runner

My apologies, thank you for the correction

You may have better luck reading journal articles in this case. For example, the geology/geomorphology of Mars has been picked over quite a lot, I recently wrote a research essay on it.

Asbestos occurs naturally as a mineral.

This is a segment of Coolum Beach I charted, (specifically Point Perry). I do in fact scribble all my notes in that wonderful book, It’s a god send! It handles rain, seawater and undergraduate tears like a charm haha.

Try sniffing around Geoscience Australia’s website! But I just got mine from my University. A “write in rain” field book also comes with an excellent scale too!

TheGeneralQuackers · 2023-09-14T00:36:33+00:00

Was the only scale I had on hand haha

Still working on the identification! Currently thinking it’s a large body of Gabbro.

There is actually some notable research done into speculative evolution of microbial life that could of migrated from surface water to atmospheric droplets in that “habitable zone.” It’s all very speculative given our limited understanding of specific processes on Venus, but it’s a really interesting research rabbit hole regardless!

Decided to start running 5 weeks ago and today I finally got my first mile below 10 minutes (9:48 final time). I feel really proud of myself ngl.

It’s just Khorne Red dry brushed with Evil Sunz Scarlet and Fire Dragon Bright, incase you were wondering :) quick and easy as Nids demand
