Folded Ketchepedrakee Amphibolite in east central Alabama. Nearby, magnetite quartzite is found that is thought to be the metamorphosed material deposited by deep sea hydrothermal vents. We call this kind of distinctive highly weathered amphibolite 'brickbat'.

#FridayFold #Geology #FridayFieldPhoto

rusty orange highly weathered rock face in a hillside. on the far right side is a long geologic hammer stuck in the soft material for scale. starting in the upper right and going to the lower left are several sawtooth shaped folds in the rock.

I am experimenting with @photoprism to organise my roughly 55000 photos on various digital platforms.

So far it's going impressively well.
But I was amused to see this one categorised as "office".

It's not actually wrong. But perhaps not what most people consider an office...

Here is a near perfect example of how sometimes rotting logs can be mistaken at a distance for an outcrop. On the left is a quartz rich graphite + garnet schist. On the right is a tree stump that is submerged under a lake for 2/3rds of the year.

brownish gray foliated rocks stick up along a shoreline. a gnarled and furrowed tree stump sticks up out of a Crack in the rocks.

A few plant fossils I found yesterday in a roadcut through the Pennsylvanian Pottsville Formation.
#FossilFriday #Alabama #FridayFieldPhoto

a small fossil twig with the stubs of 5 branches. the twig is preserved as a thin layer of coal in a light gray siltstone. a blue pencil is held next to it for scale.

Lepidodendron bark that looks like fish scales. the bark is highlighted by a thin layer of coal on the tan sandstone. a blue mechanical pencil is used as a scale.

a small leaf from a fern, shaped roughly like a tongue. it looks like a pencil sketch on the gray and rusty siltstone. a blue mechanical pencil is used as a scale.

Found a cave while mapping in the Knox Group.

Photo from inside a cave partially lit by light coming in the entrance. the cave ceiling and floor are relatively flat and dipping to the left. there is debris on the floor from the ceiling and from dirt washed into it.

Time for a #FridayFieldPhoto because it's #FieldWorkFriday

(Or perhaps a #FieldPhotoFriday entry)

More #DogSled on #SeaIce in Northern #Greenland from the spring this year..

Today I'm posting a tiny video as I've been working with some students on the data we collected this year.

@Ruth_Mottram

How about a smashed pot found documented in situ in a Middle Bronze Age deposit?

Can we get #FieldPhotoFriday going over here? (Or #FridayFieldPhoto if you must).

Stumbled across this rat snake behaving weirdly. It didn't move an inch when I walked by it only a meter away. Its mouth was agape and eyes cloudy. I almost think it was dead.

#SnakesOfTheFediverse #snakes #fieldworkfriday #fieldphotos #FridayFieldPhoto #alabama

A 4 to 5 foot long rat snake, on a rotting cedar log, in the woods.

A close up of the rat snakes front end. it's mouth is slightly agape, the one visible eye is clouded, and it's body is slightly tensed.

Finally back in the field today, scouting out a new mapping area and looking for some graphite schist.

It's Friday and time for a #FridayFieldPhoto or perhaps it's #FieldworkPhotoFriday or even #FieldPhotoFriday..
We need to sort those hashtags out...
Anyway, this is a photo of myself and a colleague measuring snow depths on sea ice in northern Greenland last month.
-28C but perfectly still and sunny.
The snow was about 10-20 cm deep so an absurdly long measurement stick but easy to deploy quickly on a coffee break.

A person dressed in thick black clothes stands on white snow holding a 2.5m long thin stick stuck in the snow. Clear blue sky overhead

When three people spend five minutes looking for your shades until one says "what, the ones in your head?" 😒

One of those moments #InTheField when everyone is working at full tilt, making sure the observations are completed at a site before moving on to the next one.

Ad here is a new quick post: he countdown has begun and I'm in a #Fieldwork frame of mind.

(HT @tutam for the #FieldPhotoFriday reminder!)

4 scientists at work on sea ice clustered around a winch going through a hole in the sea ice, with various boxes and other equipment around. Two tents are set up on top of wooden sledges and in the background are some dogs lying on the snow.

#FieldPhotoFriday

A typical North Mengen "cooking house" (vail ta) in Pomio, #PapuaNewGuinea. Each household has one and it is where the married couple and uninitiated children live. The women in the photo are heating stones of an earth oven (svoin) and preparing taro to be roasted in it.

Food cooked in the earth oven is presented especially during ceremonial gift exchanges.

A black and white photo of thatched roof house from the inside. The door and window of the house are open. A woman stands inside in front of the door, another kneels peeling taro tubers. There is smoke inside the house. A pile of stones is in the middle of the house and flames come from between the stones. The house has an earth floor.

The walls are lined with benches and shelves holding cooking ware.

Good morning! Here's a lovely offshore #FridayFieldPhoto from a spot a hundred or so miles off the coast of Florianópolis, Brazil, in the south Atlantic Ocean.

#FieldPhotoFriday #OceanScience #nature #sunset #ocean #boat #ship #moon

The sun sets over the ocean in the Santos Basin, Brazil. This photo was taken a hundred or so miles off the coast of Florianópolis, Brazil. The sun has set below the horizon, which is dappled with small, dark clouds. Behind the clouds is a layer of colors, ranging from a deep orange nearest the horizon, to a brilliant yellow above that, to a gradient of lighter to darker blues above that. In the sky, just off-center slightly to the right, a small white crescent moon is visible. In the foreground, the bow of our research vessel, MV Sea Route, can be seen. The bow creates a dark V-shape in the foreground, offsetting the calm ocean. The ocean reflects the colors of the sky above.
