We still use CarboCAT actually, for example currently to study platform drowning geometries

Intriguing cross-cultural fact; British (pictured) versus US hash brown divergence. Think I prefer US version - better for soaking up egg and bean juice

Exactly, Nefyn, Llyn Peninsula. And beach pebbles are from late Pleistocene fluvioglacial strata so a good regional sample

Does look like some form of chert? Check out the location on geologyviewer.bgs.ac.uk?_ga=2.246941... - geocontext always helps ID

Best guess IDs: Bottom row probs granodiorite and porphyritic andesite. Middle row Carboniferous Limestone with coral, perhaps Siphonodendron, Lithostrotion etc, and Ordovician mudstone with thin turbidites. Top left felsic mylonite, top right right probs mafic mylonite

Indeed, different kind of plate boundary in the two locations, but squishing is still squishing 😉

Too cool to be gneiss, this site is strat-tastic 😉

Clunky code is fine of course, whatever works, means-to-an-end etc, but there are few things more satisfying than elegantly efficient code 🤓 Mostly as an aspiration however 😉

Jurassic water park?
