No body cared, no body would ever care. The matter is of milking the cow in the garb of excess tourism. Nobody gives a damn to fragility, it is only good for researchers.

Folded Paleoproterozoic (~1.8 billion yrs old) dolomite & limestone south of Udaipur. The big white splotch near the nose of the fold are the famous Zawar lead-zinc mines. Faults acted as conduits for migration of ore brine in to the host sediments. #FridayFold

Only in Himachal Pradesh. Only in Shimla. Defining new architectural boundaries, this should be a case study for the world to see. 5 floors, zero ground space, barely any depth. Now when this falls.. Should I even feel bad? #shimla #HimachalPradesh #mountains #construction

In July, nature published a paper saying polymetallic nodules (the critical mineral lumps sought by deep sea miners) produce oxygen on the sea floor. Out now, this CarbonCopy report on why the discovery should result in a ban on deep sea mining. carboncopy.info/deep-sea-minin….

With "Gateway" I aimed to create a balanced rhythm of intersecting shapes of headlands that lead the eye towards the horizon. The sea arch makes a natural focus and I made sure the brightest area of the image was right behind it. #outerhebrides rebecca-vincent.co.uk/twitter-welcome

Needles of tourmaline in leucogranite, localized along a vein. These are Miocene (~24-16 million year old) intrusions into Greater Himalaya metamorphic rocks. Darma valley, Kumaon Himalaya. #MineralMonday

Shake, rattle, and gold- as someone as already said on X.

Quiet days in Coyoacán. México City.

Appreciate Geological Survey of India showcasing geological heritage. Besides this, the dormant Geoheritage Bill must be resuscitated, so as to give these sites legal recognition and protection.

#ThisSectionThursday The type of carbonate minerals that marine creatures use to build skeletons primarily determines how they get preserved in the geologic record. An explanation using thin sections of limestone from Cretaceous age outcrops, Ariyalur, Tamil Nadu.

Happy #FossilFriday Here are two beautiful #Tentaculites from the #Kope Formation. One is kind of squashed but the ribs are still visible #ordovocian #tentaculite

Automatic qualification for #FridayFold.

Let's be honest. Why bother with the second part of the sentence?

The Geological Society of Glasgow are celebrating this year’s #ScotGeolFest24 with a beach pebble event at Dunure! Head along between 10-2 tomorrow (7th September) to learn about the local Devonian volcanic rocks and hunt for your very own agates!

My parcel came with a complimentary subduction zone today! Super creative of someone who helped ship it!
