A little unexpected #FossilFriday this week. I was in Cairo for a wedding and we stumbled upon (literally!) the ribcages of some sea creatures on the platform of the great pyramid! Possibly from some early whales, would love to hear what people think

A little #urbangeology for this #fossilfriday: the pavements of Verona are covered almost completely with Ammonitico Rosso, preserving these beautiful ammonites. It proves quite a hazard for a geologist walking the city head down!

⚒️For this weeks #ThinSectionThursday a biotite and amphibole cluster found within a plagioclase-orthopyroxene xenolith. From the Cerro del Oro parasitic cone on Volcán Tolimán, Guatemala. Not entirely sure how it was formed, possibly through a hydrothermal reaction.

The Looks Delicious! exhibition in Japan House is all incredible, but this crab is on another level. I felt a deep connection to them for some reason

Now that volcano twitter (currently known as X) seems to have migrated here, it would be great to restart #volcanomonday! Here are the Langdales, they may be a little eroded but still stunning

A little #ThinSectionThursday for my first post on Bluesky. Spectacularly zoned plagioclase from the Atitlán volcanic centre in Guatemala 🌋🔬
