Hello friends, I have 4 old thin sections from my bachelor's that I've been holding onto. I want to get rid of them now and I'm not sure if they'd be helpful as a donation anywhere or just garbage? Thanks!

Daughter found this at the beach. Looks like a petrified mussel.

The Great Plains go up to 6,000 ft above sea level in some places like in Colorado Springs and Cheyenne. The Great Plains rise above the Central Plains.

This one is quite nice cause of how one can see the walls of the mine shaft pretty clearly!

The people told me it’s about 3 months old and the authorities already put a fence around it.

Hi guys, I'm making a study about mantle xenoliths from the upper mantle and I'm doing some REE and major elements diagrams and I would like to know how to do it. I'm using Sun & McDonough's 1995 paper, but I don't know exactly which composition should I use, if table 2, table 5 or table 4.

Variability of sea levels? I'm just surprised how massive they can be and how they haven't been completely filled in with sediments, for example the sounds in North Carolina by the outer Banks are very shallow only a few feet deep but that doesn't make sense to me because in my stream table I create a sound and it gets filled in with sediments very quickly, why don't we see that happening in the real world?

I have a above picture I took with my drone send a chat if you want to see it

It's in England.

There is some blur at the bottom because I removed some people from the picture.

Followup: if someone were to saw off a stalactite and fuse it (with cement or something else) to the floor of the cave, would it still be considered a stalactite, or would it become a stalagmite? Thank you.

Not getting it! I read Bowen’s book and a few Earth Science but can’t discern the difference between the continuous series and the Discontinuous Series: it seems everything just reacts with the liquid phase the form the next in the series as temperature drops! Ok, that’s cool but why are there two series?? What am I missing? Any and all serious recommendations of books will be appreciated greatly!

Thought this would be a good place to ask.

I’m flying a route between Phoenix, AZ and Sacramento and saw this out the window — any ideas? My first guess is salt flats from the north side of the valley left behind the vanished Tulare lake, but I’m in the air and can’t be sure.

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing for an exam in my Environmental Geology course, and I’m looking for suggestions on interesting scientific articles or papers that focus on soil consumption, especially due to urban development and construction. I want to find something that also touches on soil reclamation and the recovery of organic carbon.

Does anyone have any recommendations for important studies or reviews on this topic?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve seen lots of post recently on other platforms of this discovery on Google Earth. What do we actually see here, why is it shaped like that. Is there a logical explanation, is it all coincidence, or is there a religious reasoning for it, like an old mytthical being. Really want to hear peoples thought on this one.

Hi. I want to get a bachelors in geology. I dont know what to specialize in. I'm mexican so physical work is in my blood. But I also dont mind putting my mind to work which is why I want to go to college. What type of geology would fit what im looking for?

Hello! I took a Geology (Earth Sciences IIRC) class a few years ago & I loved it! I love geology!

Though I am not smart enough to make a career of it, I still want to learn about Geology for fun!

Any kind of resources would be appreciated, whether it's on physical geology, minerals, geophysics or geochemistry, etc!!! Literally anything geology-related, I want to fill my brain with it!

If you know of any YouTube channels with a focus on geology, or if you know of any websites/resources online, please lmk!

Thanks!

Hello! I am studying geology, but I’m particularly interested in volcanology. I’m planning a trip to Southern California, and I was wondering if there were any trails or outcrops that are unique or interesting in the San Diego area.
