The Fox With The Rocks
@marshthefox.bsky.social
Hey there, I'm a mineral collector and a furry. I graduated from Western Carolina University with a degree in geology in 2023. My fursuit was finished that same year by Cave Creature Creations.
Happy Halloween, yappin' about rocks that I'll be passing out at Carolina Furfare. This is coal from Sharon, West Virginia, and it dates back to around 315 million years ago. At this time West Virginia was covered by an ancient swamp.

Here's a closer look at Henry the Sea Scorpion! Here I'm using a macro lens to showcase some of the more intricate details of this fossil. The high quality preservation allows for very subtle details of this prehistoric predator to be preserved.

Running through the anatomy of Henry The Sea Scorpion. Anatomy is a hugely important part of Paleontology, and understanding the anatomy of your fossils will tell you a lot about the animal that left it behind.

These Brachiopods would have lived in a shallow ocean that covered much of ancestral North America some 420 million years ago. Simple animals, they lived anchored to the ocean floor and fed in microorganisms drifting in the water column.

Here are some samples of Kyanite Schist from Wake County, North Carolina. Kyanite is a metamorphic mineral that is found in rocks that were altered at high temperatures and pressures. It most commonly occurs as clusters of blue blade-like crystals.

You can hear the plague in my voice, on antibiotics and hoping to be better by the weekend. This is a sample of Tourmaline from the Crabtree Emerald Mine, NC. Tourmaline is a mineral most commonly found as elongated black crystals in igneous rocks.

Pyromorphite from the Wheatley Mines in Chester County, Pennsylvania. This lead phosphate mineral is famous for its rich green, barrel shaped crystals.

Pyromorphite from the Wheatley Mines of Chester County, Pennsylvania. I received these as part of a large, early acquisition that included numerous mineral samples from some rather famous Pennsylvania mines.

Collected samples for CFF from the Balls Bluff Siltstone, part of the Bull Run Formation, which in itself is part of the Newark Supergroup. This formation is 202.5- 201.4 million years old, and outcrops along the Potomac River, in Virginia.

I get my coal straight from the source, no middle man bullshit, I refuse to pay someone else to extract fossil fuels, I will gather carbon emitting pollutants myself.
(Kanawha Formation- 312-320 Ma; Kanawha County, West Virginia)

Coal is taking over this feed until I get done processing all of these samples to pass out at CFF this year.

Stormy day out on the Chesapeake Bay a few days back. Water was a little choppy but it was otherwise pretty good.

Photography from Tropical Storm Ophelia this weekend as it happened here in Maryland. No damage to report in my area though there was quite a bit of debris in the road.

Tropical Storm Ophelia has formed off the coast of North Carolina and is now headed towards the Chesapeake Bay. Weather conditions here in Maryland are expected to be fairly poor near the coast.

My little companion while exploring wetlands. Hoping over creek channels and trying to find out where the "solid" ground is.
