I genuinely initially read this as a tapestry

Signed. It is tragic that courses like this are being shut down.

Very similar to the Lutyens designed cenotaph in London and with the same inscription. I’m inclined to agree - probably not a phrase we would use today.

But if I am honest, I only learned the importance of maths in geology when I had to teach it!

However - and although I’m not a good mathematician myself - I do understand the importance of mathematical models for explaining, say, flexure of the lithosphere, and at a more simple level, stereographic projections, that enable us to take observations on to a new level.

I think that this is one of the special things about geology, in its purest form it is still an observational science where problems can be solved and concepts understood by just looking and taking straightforward measurements.

And there are many local war memorials in the Greater London area on our App … apps.apple.com/gb/app/londo... #urbangeology #remembrancesunday

If you’re visiting the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire today, here is a guide to the stones used for some of the memorials there ruthsiddall.co.uk/Walks/Nation... #urbangeology #remembrancesunday

Or just Ty wrach!

Indeed, it used to be the Museum of Irish Industry and also once housed the Geological Survey’s collections.

😂 it was very nicely done!

It does seem to be a new thing - I guess what I object to is that it is somehow sold to us a tradition - when it isn’t.

Yep, that’s it. Syneresis cracks are common. It’s not only used in Scotland - there’s quite a bit here in London too (but I’ve only seen fish fossils in Edinburgh and Aberdeen)
