Happy Talk Like A Pyrite Day!
Yes, that means you must sit around in a cube saying nothing...which is a nice change from Talk Like A Pirate Day, don't ya think?
In other Picaroon news,. Arizona Geological Survey has mapped out The Pirate Fault! Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
If Ye be in Tuscon, look ye to the North for a treasure of geological history at Ye Ole Pirate Fault. The great thing about the rock exposures at The Pirate Fault, is that you get to delve into the rocks that would normally be buried like gold to a freebooter. There may not be much gold, but there is a hematite rich areas and exposures of Catalina granite with basaltic intrusions.
Buccaneer look-a-like, Dwight Hoxie explains more in this short video about the basaltic intrusion on the Catalina granite 'after' activity ceased on the Pirate Fault.
