When you’re the only archaeologist on the team who went fossil hunting as a kid so you’re nominated do some palaeontology research to find out if your study area needs palaeontological attention as well as an archaeological assessment.
And then,
When you’re doing your research and you find out your geological formation is “vuggy.”
Guys.
Check out this vug.
P.S. Geologists you’re all ridiculous with your terminology, and I love you.
Geologist problems: When your friends keep posting about BLM and you KNOW they mean “Black Lives Matter” but your stupid brain keeps INSISTING on reading it as “Bureau of Land Management”.
a volcano is currently erupting here, and I'm both having the time of my life, fending off fake news, collecting volcanic ash samples, and trying to fight off misinformation.
god, it's just so hard sometimes when your country doesn't value it's scientists enough.
When I see a particularly nice mineral specimen
Geologist problems: Stressing out over your rock collection.
WHAT DO I DO WITH MY ROCK COLLECTION I NEED TO REARRANGE MY STUFF BUT I DONT KNOW WHERE TO PUT IT THAT WILL MAKE ME HAPPY
And WHY are most of these NOT LABLED HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHERE I GOT THE ROCKS FROM, THAT IS CRUCIAL INFORMATION
See this is because most of my rock collection dates from my childhood when sadly I didn't understand the importance of labels and was just like "oh a rock, *grab*"
Oh yeah and I have a plastic bottle of unlabeled sand from an unknown beach. But I am pretty sure it was a beach on the Mississippi coast.
I HATE SILT. HAAAAAAAAAATE SILT.
OK back to this damn atterberg.
When a librarian lovingly roasts geologists and ends up accidentally roasting you, too
I was in the dept. of natural resources air photo library the other day, and from what the librarian was telling me about her geology co-workers, geologists are much the same as archaeologists and it’s hilarious. “They’re outdoors so much that they forget to behave well indoors, they all stick together for the most part because when you’re in remote areas you have to rely on each other, when you need something fixed they always try to help and they’re all super highly first aid trained, and they all think they’re a little special and cool and it’s really funny.” I felt attacked yet loved because, same.
After spending too long in the Petrology lab
