Anomalous pebble in layered #sedimentary #rock
An angular pebble is conformably surrounded by argillaceous and sandy layers in this #photograph of the #Neoproterozoic #Squantum Member of the #Roxbury Conglomerate. The wide range of clast sizes led to an interpretation as a #glacial #tillite thru the 1970s, but the Squantum Member is now mostly interpreted as a #debrisFlow (#debrite or #turbidite). My #photo.

Interbedded argillaceous & tuffaceous #sediments
These photos are of #Cambridge #Argillite, exposed above the #Squantum Member of the #Roxbury Conglomerate (#Neoproterozoic). Prior to the 1970s or so, the Squantum Member was interpreted as #glacial sediments; it's now broadly interpreted as debris flows, with the Cambridge being distal turbidites overlying it. I lead a field trip here for #UMassBoston. See captions.

I teach an #introductory course to #dinosaurs in #EnvironmentalScience at #UMassBoston each spring.
I would be thrilled to host virtual or corporeal #guest #lecturers on subjects including #fossil preparation, reconstruction, dinosaurs in culture, #curation of fossils, et cetera. ½ hr to 50 minutes?
UMB is the only public research university in #Boston. We are diverse with ca. 40% first generation college students and 70% of undergraduate students being people of color.
Interested?

Fabulous #pillowBasalt image, and I’m happy to have visited your website. Please keep the cross cutting relationship animation up, I’ll refer my #EarthScience class at #UMassBoston to it. Super!

Open to a mix of backgrounds, but deep technical expertise in either #immunology and #tissueculture or else #viralvectors and #geneediting a real plus. We have a gorgeous lab site on the ocean at #UMassBoston.
My network here might be a little to in silico, but perhaps you have friends and loved ones on the other side!
Thanks for sharing! #jurabio

Overturned soft sediment folds in the Neoproterozoic Squantum Member of the Roxbury Conglomerate, Boston Bay Group.
The tight folding (center left) is widely currently interpreted as occurring in a debris flow. White balance card held by a student on a field trip for “Earth’s Dynamic Systems” at U Mass Boston this semester. Squantum Head, Quincy, Massachusetts USA. My photo.
