Die erkalteten Lavaströme rund um Piano Provenzana bilden erstarrte Wellen, zerbrochene Platten und bizarre Skulpturen. Zwischen scharfkantigen Brocken und porösen Schlackekegeln wird sichtbar, wie unterschiedlich sich Lava verhalten kann, je nach Fließgeschwindigkeit und Gasgehalt beim Ausbruch des Ätna.

The Mars Guy YouTube channel is excellent. The latest episode is on metal meteorites investigated on Mars by the various rovers.

Zwischen den schwarzen Feldern tauchen immer wieder rötliche Lavabrocken auf, deren Farbe auf unterschiedliche Abkühlungs- und Oxidationsprozesse zurückgeht. Solche rötlichen Schlacken und Blöcke erzählen leise von jüngeren Phasen der Aktivität des Ätna, ohne dass sich der genaue Ausbruch allein an der Farbe ablesen ließe.

Found this colourful (rusty?) vein, about 10 cm wide, in a huge erratic rock. Any idea how this came about?

Das Schwarz der Lava rund um Piano Provenzana dominiert jede Szene, selbst Straßen und Pfade verschwinden stellenweise im dunklen Gestein. Nur an wenigen Stellen lockert feiner, fast sandiger Lapilli den Eindruck auf und macht sichtbar, wie jung viele dieser Strukturen im Vergleich zur umliegenden Landschaft sind.

This week's #NewBooks at the library:

- The Geological Society had a sale, so I snapped up a copy of Earth System Evolution and Early Life: A Celebration of the Work of Martin Brasier
- A signed copy of the 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, the classic first Fighting Fantasy title
- A second-hand copy of The Development of Biological Systematics: Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu, Nature, and the Natural System, another follow-up from my book review of the Linnaeus biography some time back.

A photo of three hardback books standing upright on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of a red curtain covering a door

On the left, Earth System Evolution and Early Life, showing a black and white line drawing of a fossil at the bottom half, an ochre-coloured band across the middle with the publisher's name, and a cream-coloured top section with the title. It's hard to make out what the fossil is; it appears as a black square with several bits sticking out on all sides, but the legend explains it is a camera lucida drawing of a fossil stauromedusan, Haootia quadriformis (a species of stalked jellyfish), from the Ediacaran of Newfoundland, Canada.

In the middle, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, showing a colour painting of an old male sorcerer in a blue coat with a flaring collar. His right hand is enveloped in a bright-blue plasma. A large, winged, red dragon looms in the background. The title is stamped across the bottom in gilded letters.

On the right, The Development of Biological Systematics, showing several line drawings in two-tone colours (cream and green) of plant parts and a tree-like diagram drawn in an old-fashioned style to appear like branching coral. The cover is divided into a cream left half, a white section top right, and a lime-green section bottom right.

I had been looking forward to seeing the Great Unconformity when I visited the Grand Canyon last week, and it did not disappoint.

A bridge across the Colorado River is visible at the bottom.A labeled museum model depicting the rock layers within the Grand Canyon. The newer sedimentary rock in the top three fourths includes various limestone, sandstone, and shale layers. A wavy line about a fourth of the way from the bottom depicts the Great Unconformity, with much older metamorphic rock below.Another view of the museum model depicting the rock layers within the Grand Canyon. This side shows a realistic model of what the rock layers look like.  The horizontal limestone, sandstone, and shale layers are hues of white, red, and grayish green. Below the Great Unconformity, the metamorphic rock is a mix browns and grays.
