Trying Geology

Just a human trying to be a geologist and trying fantastically! Also haliteisabasicsalt on here come yell at me about anything 🤷🏼‍♀️

[trying-geology]

Really hope it meant NOT for human use.

Follow trying-crafts!

If yall liked my journal spread post, feel free to follow trying-crafts on here. It's going to have the same content as my instagram but probably more freewriting too just because I can.

[trying-geology]

I was inspired by ktscanvases on tiktok who chooses a random sticker to make a collage so I did that! This is my first attempt 🥰 but it was so much fun to let my brain just go after a day of writing for my PhD.

[trying-geology]

I like coloring outside the realm of reality because idk how to color and it makes my brain happy 🤷🏼‍♀️

More of my coloring can also be found on my new Instagram!

Geology and society integration

Geology always wins and has shaped the way society has changed over the course of human evolution and history overall.

[trying-geology]

I know I haven’t been very active on here, my PhD is kicking my butt yall.

If you wanna see how I cope with the stress follow @trying_crafts on Instagram!

Maybe I’ll also post some of that stuff on here 🤔

Anyway, PhD is no joke but it’s so much harder when the people who are supposed to support you don’t. It’s also important to remember to stand up for yourself.

[trying-geology]

Went to Big Bend National Park in October 2023!

Perhaps the world of 2044 will be as different from ours as 1979 now seems from our present time. But let us also echo this wish into the future— may they have peace and happiness.

Apparently if you find a tagged Horseshoe crab and report it to Fish and Wildlife they’ll send you a certificate with info about your crab AND a pewter horseshoe crab pin! Keep your eyes peeled 👀

[weirdkatharine]

Good news!  Getting a good grade in crab is normal to want and possible to achieve!

[cletusthurstonbeauregard]

red/blue dynamic!

[awesomebutunpractical]

Trying to get a feel for how convincing I can make my little newspaper clippings. I am playing with props for that Conspiracy Board Story I like to pretend I'll write. There probably won't be any giant chickens in that one.

[casa-anachar]

@gallusrostromegalus do you have and/or need an alibi for this?

[gallusrostromegalus]

Nah that was me. Sorry about the vibes Greg, I was having a rough time with the Seasonal depression and the fact I had somehow gotten lost in Montana in Extremely Late January. I was cold!

[brucesterling]

[trying-geology]

Be so for real, planting native plants is so much better, plus it costs less??

[procaffa-deactivated20260523]

Kinda wild seeing mainstream news outlets reporting on a newly discovered Cambrian superpredator this morning But I guess I'll take it???? This is Timorebestia koprii, a newly described stem-chaetognath from the lower Cambrian (Terreneuvian) of the Sirius Passet Lagerstätte in Northern Greenland. Definitely check out the full paper below.

For those familiar with Burgess Shale fauna, T. koprii appears to be a sister taxon to that of Amiskwia sagittiformis.

Though according to the Royal Ontario Museum's website, specimens of A. sagittiformis have only been found up to 25 mm, while specimens of T. koprii have been found up to 200 mm long (~290 mm counting the antennae)!

[trying-geology]

Hi geobuddies!!!

So the spring semester has started and we’re loving it! Besides that my geologist friend has a question!

She found this dope ass rock! It’s was found in Grand Teton National Park, Jenny Lake Loop! Anyone have any guesses?

P.S. I know you're not supposed to do rock ID from pictures but look how cool!!

[morbidology]

A clam with pearls inside.

[bogleech]

Haha, notes are so disturbed to learn that pearls form inside the tissues and not just lying inside.

So how do y'all feel about the fact that pearls have nothing to do with sand? Bivalves deal with sand all day long, of course grains don’t get “stuck” until they have to make a pearl. That was the assumption centuries ago and just continues to be spread by the jewelry industry as a plain old lie.

The formation of a pearl is to smother and permanently seal the parasites bivalves contract from all the animal feces they process :)

https://cortezpearl.mx/pages/how-a-natural-pearl-is-born-from-myth-to-reality

(which to me is very cool and if it grosses you out you should reconsider because biologically speaking it’s the equivalent of a trapped evil spirit)

[iridissparks]

“Pearls are trapped evil spirits” is the most metal fucking way to advertise pearls to counterculture folk that I’ve ever heard in my entire LIFE
