Today is #FossilFriday & yesterday was #VolcanoThursday. During #hedgewatch on #Fuerteventura my humans saw this red stripe between 2 #lava flows. Its #paleosoil that was #fried by the upper flow some mill a ago. Ironoxid is often red & iron can be found in basalt

Today is #FossilFriday & I taught my humans that to be a #fossil the specimen needs to be at least 10.000 a old. That doesn't hold for this #corals, but this is basically how fossils of corals look like. We found them during #hedgewatch on the #Seychelles.

Today is #FossilFriday & I got a reminder that last year this day my humans made #trilobite #cookies. It was for a colleague's #Phd defence pawty in the #geophysics department. The cookies were a huge success 😻😹

Today is #VolcanoThursday. During my #GrandTour on #LaPalma I found during a #hedgewatch/#hike on the
#CumbreVieja this a little odd #LavaBomb - the product of an #eruption. We think it looks due to #weathering like a #FirCone😻

Today during #winter #hedgewatch my humans found this #rock with a cap... They tried to be funny and called it a #caprock... My #geologist friends understand, but won't find it very funny...

Today it's #VolcanoThursday & I have more from Simbalitos #GrandTour in #Iceland. One day it was raining #cat's & #dogs & only indoor #hedgewatch was possible. So we visited the #lavacentre a museum . They explain about #volcano's, #lava etc. & have a great movie.

Today I have no choice but to be in #TeamCorundum in the #MinCup23 duel #Corundum vs #Lawsonite. Apparently one of the humans loves #sapphire very much. Picture taken during evening #hike/#hedgewatch on #LaGomera

Today during indoor #hedgewatch I found a #mineral called #TigersEye in the shelf! Pawsome! It's a #quartz mineral and got its name, no need to say it😹, because it shows #chatoyancy-the #Cat-eye effect, caused by the fibrous mineral growth, when properly cut.
