The Ming Sha Dune Field near Dunhuang, western Gansu Province, China. These 400+ ft. (120+ m) dunes are part of the Kumtag Desert (a section of the larger Taklamakan Desert). These dunes "sing" (although I never had the chance to hear it!). The famous Mogao Grottoes lie along the edge of this field.

‘Fossiel’ golfpatroon uit de steengroeve in Winterswijk. Vroeger was daar dus zee. In bijgaand draadje meer gofpatronen en een uitleg van @punkpaleo hoe ze ontstaan. . sauropods.win/@punkpaleo/11079

Hey and folks, I just updated an old mobile application I stumbled upon for core logging based on . There is an .apk file if you want to give it a spin. :) No promises on how well it works. Going to test it out next week.

Another close to the @vrijeuniversiteit, for the lovers... Maybe bring a bit of water next time

Teaching and educating can be fun and rewarding, and today it was my favourite class of the year.

Earth and Environmental Science students took part in 'The Sandstone City' field class. An exploration of the Triassic Hawkesbury Sandstone, how it formed, and why it makes such a great building and decorative stone.

Thanks to my fellow educators Dr Indrani Mukherjee and Di Li Qian.

Best birthday of my life: in a few days my 🇪🇺 @ERC_Research -funded project MindTheGap will start at Utrecht University 🇳🇱 and I've just received approval of my request for the @eScienceCenter to join the project.
I will work with a team including @Niklas_Hohmann and a postdoc, research software engineers, and scientists from 🇩🇪🇬🇧 on Darwin's greatest concern: that the fossil record is too jumbled up to allow us reconstructing . We'll unjumble it using sedimentary forward modeling and build an interface providing data into models.

Developing an ERC project with the brightest minds in , and and involving research software engineers were as if someone turned the light on in a dark room 💡

Extensive, ripple-mark-covered surface at the top of the Upper Triassic (roughly 220-210 million years old) Shinarump Conglomerate Member of the Chinle Formation near St. George, Utah. Disappointingly, there's not a fossil footprint or other ichnite anywhere on this surface that I could find!

Sandstone-infilled paleochannel in the Lower Jurassic Kayenta Formation in St. George, Utah. A standard stop for all of our introductory-level geology course field trips, and a great example of a disconformity!

Any ideas what spawned this feature?

(straight ditches are anthrostuff)

The center of this marshland feature is almost perfectly round. It’s connected to Back River in Weymouth, Massachusetts. Back River’s tidal range is up to ~4 meters. The marsh is next to Great Esker, one of the tallest in North America, ~30 meters. Smaller, similar features are offshore.

Located at 42.24N 70.93W

Last set of examples of soft sediment deformation in the. Squantum Member of the Roxbury Conglomerate, Boston Bay Group; Neoproterozoic and approximately contemporaneous with Gaskiers glaciation.

Although previously interpreted as a tillite (it is still sometimes referred to as the “Squantum Tillite), the “consensus” is now debris flows and turbidites.

Hi, I am Tobias Stål, nice to meet you!

I am a at the Australian Centre of Excellence in Antarctic Science based at the University of Tasmania (math and physics). Presently, I am working on seismology and geothermal heat, but my background is in , particularly and .

I like music, old boats, well-written code (usually not by me) and to drink beer and coffee. I am learning linguistics.
