🚨PAPER ALERT🚨

This is a #serpentinite #shearzone.
It is part of a #subduction complex where oceanic serpentinites were subducted, sheared, carbonated, exhumed, and coupled with sediments that we recently described on the Island of Elba, Italy. A 3ad

Yokonami melange, a paleo-megathrust, and so, so much chert, near Kure, Shikoku Island, Japan

Two geologists pointing out enormous coastal outcrops of steeply-dipping ribbon chert.

Closer view of the folded and steeply dipping cherts, with two geologists standing on outcrop.

Down-looking view of block-in-matrix melange of scaly mudstones with sandstone blocks.

Outcrop photo of brittle fault rocks at the top of the Yokonami melange, with pencil for scale. This has been interpreted as a fossil plate boundary fault zone.

I see. Nice! Thank you!

Is it that sort of coastal shelf?

Ashizuri is beautiful! I didn't know about this specific terrace. I will try to see it if I have time the next time I go here!

I have found a list of the characters. Takashi Yanase is the creator of 'Anpanman', a popular anime for kids. Yanase was born in Kochi and created a lot of characters for his beloved city. He also created the mascottes of the JR stations in Kochi prefecture.

For those interested, the other characters are Tasaikukun (mr. Be Prepared), Herupachan (miss Helper), Torafu hakase (professor Trough), and Yudokun (mr. Guide)

The characters of the "disaster preparedness for the next Nankai earthquake" on the tosaden, the historic tram of Kochi.

On the left, "tsunamiman and jishinman", the villains of our story (jishin = earthquake in Japanese)

Mind blowing rocks of Rosso Levanto: mantle peridototes that were carbonated and then weathered on the ocean floor of the Piemont-Ligiria ocean.

There's truly no shortage of stunning leaf-footed bugs. This species is Pachylis laticornis!

This bug has a colorful, visually striking pattern and two antennae.

The underside of the bug is yellow, blue, black, red, and orange.

Just deleted my science twitter and made a bsky... My feed was getting full of crazy stuff, and I pretty much just want to see things about rocks, earthquakes, and fluffy dogs/cats.
Wassup?

I am travelling and I am bored, so I'll post a random marble pic from my phone.

Photo of marble, as seen in thin section under the microscope. Width is 3 mm.

One of the samples that I was working on today, a hefty slab of "Duke Stone" metaignimbrite from the Piedmont of North Carolina. This is the rock that was used to build the Gothic architecture of Duke University. Made in a pre-Appalachian volcanic eruption, it got squeezed as Pangaea was assembled.⚒️

Well, if you want nice orthoclase, Elba is probably the best place!

Very interesting! I like the idea that serpentinization may help the process!

Samuele Papeschi サムエレパペスキ | Geology is the way ⚒️🧪 @calamitaman.bsky.social · Aug 21

I intended to provoke this feeling 🤣

Always fun to cut a new rock and discover gorgeous deformation structures 😍

Dartmoor, Hay Tor, some rather splendid megacrystic alkali feldspars in th4e granite that are very visible on the highest part of the Tor.
