I'm a Professional Geologist, but not a widely experienced field Geologist. I have seen a fair amount of petrified wood in situ, and don't think it's that. Perhaps a metamorphosed volcanic ash or siltstone. It's a tough one to identify, for sure.

Watch the ground break and move during the magnitude 7.7 #Myanmar #earthquake. This footage shows the incredible power of the earthquake that devastated parts of Myanmar and #Thailand. My thoughts are with the people impacted by this event. 💔

...igneous dike, you stupid auto-correct.

Classic igneous like structure! Amazing!

Started raining at 10:30 am here in Nevada City, with only 0.67" so far. We're pretty much at the southern edge of the AR plume.

The dem/repub lean numbers are the influencers, btw.

Yeah, I waver between thinking that half of the voting public really are assholes with zero empathy or desire to help others, and then thinking that the non-college educated are just low information voters, voting against the high prices. Either way, everyone's lives are about to get so much worse.

Well, 262M citizens of voting age, so more like 29%. Still, even the Can't Be Bothered contingent is split in two, that still is nowhere near a majority or a mandate.
