#Steel tools were already in use in #Europe around 2900 years ago. Using #geochemical analyses, the researchers were able to prove that stone stelae on the #Iberian Peninsula that date back to the Final Bronze Age feature complex engravings that could only have been done using tempered steel.

#MacroPhotography is also an interest of Fox (the #photographer). #Minerals and #crystals are especially interesting as subjects, both because of their properties and how their shape and viewing angle reacts with light, but also because of the #geophysical and #geochemical forces that produced them.
In this #photo, you can see a partial #termination (crystal point) of an #amethyst (#quartz/#SiO2/#silicondioxide which often contains inclusions of #iron in the crystal).
#Forcedperspective is also an interesting aspect of macro photography.

A #geochemical journey from the center of the Earth.

Might have been excessively ambitious for a #geochemistry course redesign, now realizing I need to actually plan the course!
Have favorite ideas, #textbooks, #tutorials, #resources, to share?
The details:
1. Upper-level #undergrad #SLAC #geochemistry course, but no rigid pre-reqs (start with #basics).
2. Would like to build course around using #R #Rstats to make #geochemical #plots! I'm also an #Rnovice, though, so I'll also be learning as we go.

Really enjoyed hosting Prof Ken Macleod (Univ. of Missouri) to give our #EarthScience school seminar at University of Bristol this week - Ken talked about new #geochemical evidence for rapid climate change after the end-#Cretaceous mass #extinction event.
