Looking forward to reading it!!

You have great recs so far - I’ll also add “A short history of nearly everything” by Bill Bryson - it is an incredibly fun read - but covers history of geology as a discipline (and biology and humanity) as well. Get the illustrated version if you can!

Beautiful!! I’m such a sucker for iron and manganese oxides, and to see these cool results from a formation right in my own backyard is just stellar! I want to check these out with SEM/EDS (and micro-Raman while I’m dreaming) so badly! Very cool work

You are so very wise haha!!! 🍄

Agreed! And if Jack-o-lanterns, they are poisonous so make safe choices!

Hopping on the train to ask the same! Could I be added to the list as well? 🪨⚒️

Late to the party but better late than never?! 👩‍🏫

There *is* a family of turkeys in the forest so maybe that was her plan! I probably made her grumpy by holding her then!
