#TeamLawsonite for today's round of #MinCup23. Okay, #Corundum is a nice mineral, but I'll give #Lawsonite some love just because it's bringing back a #ThinSectionThursday on a friday :)

Okay. I guess I'm going to follow the current trend and make a quite overdue #Introduction. Hi, I'm Zeolith! I'm an #EarthSciences enthousiast, working in #DataEngineering in the #French speaking part of Europe. I'm also #ActuallyAutistic, #ADHD and of course #AuDHD. I love everything #Geology, #Geoscience, #Railways and complex systems. Probably going to boost #ThinSectionThursday because honestly those are so beautiful.
I guess that's it for now... Any questions?

#thinsectionthursday Yey - managed to log in and get my favorite flexible sandstone #thinsection image up.

#ThinSectionThursday has arrived on mastodon. I’m so excited. Show me all the rocks!

Anybody knows what these minerals are? Hint: This is thin section (PPL) of a rock from the contact aureole of the Bugaboo Batholith at Cobalt Lake (SE British Columbia; photo also below).

In 1984, I spent six weeks in Switzerland for my geology field studies. I don’t have #ThinSectionThursday, but I do have #throwbackthursday pics. Everything by hand, no computers, no technology, and in Switzerland, literally a bar around every corner on nearly every trail. Was a great summer with the rest of the #rockknockers at USM’s (Southern Miss) Field camp in the Jura Mountains. Where did you do your field studies?

A glimpse of the complex life of a garnet (growing) on the fence
#petrology #mineralogy #metamorphism #thinsectionthursday
Garnet replaced by symplectites of clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, spinel, and plagioclase in a mafic layer within anorthosite, Sognefjord, Norway (Caledonian Upper Jotun Nappe).
