Daniel Hanger, I don0t know you, but I feel like we may be very good friends 😂

I should remember this sample when #PrideMonth starts White mica crystals surrounded by wollastonite in a marble #geology #petrography #muscovite #thinsection

For #RockInTuesday allow me to introduce my new friend.... scapolite + wollastonite marble. The yellow/blue scapolite crystal in the lower-left corner is clearly in support of Ukraine! FOV 3 mm #geology #petrography #minerals

For some reason, I am the sole member of my institution on Researchgate (because my colleagues chose to declare CNR and not CNR-IGG as their institution), so every week I am praised by Researchgate and I feel like Obama in this meme 😂

#ThinSectionThursday my definition of pain: trying to identify minerals in a rock that's clinopyroxene + olivine + epidote (a very high grade marl entirely converted in calcsilicates). There is also probably wollastonite, plagioclase, garnet, and talc around #geology #thinsection ⚒️

#Micromega garnet-rich calcsilicate rock in the field (left) vs in thin section (right). Yep, that's hydrogarnet. The white stuff around at the mesoscale is marble. #geology #skarn #calcsilicate #garnet

A nice schist with muscovite, kyanite/sillimanite, chlorite, and twinned plagioclase. #thinsectionthursday #geology #science #minerals #rocks

A nice transition from katophorite (brown) into ferro-eckermannite (blue) and then aegirine (green) in the interstitial space of a peralkaline syenite #thinsectionthursday #geology #science #minerals #rocks

#ThinSectionThursday Hello, garnet, my old friend I have come to talk with you again Because a fluid softly flowing Left your grains while it was shearing And your image that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sheared granite

Since I do not have a geological hashtag to cover my Wednesdays, I will use them for my old #MicroMega tag, which was intended to show rocks at the meso and the microscale! I will start with this amphibole schist from the Sanbagawa metamorphic belt of Japan! #geology #thinsection ⚒️

#RockInTuesday Outcrop of meta-lime breccia or marble breccia. This is probably some talus breccia deposited in a basin close to a carbonate platform. The flattening of the clasts is due to later metamorphism. Campiglia, IT Hettangian Calcare Massiccio Fm. #geology #fieldwork #marble #breccia

#MineralMonday playing chess with quartz! This is my favorite quartz microstructure. It is called 'reticular grains', quartz deformed at high temperature with a tendency of grain boundaries to encounter at 90° angles #hotstuff #geology #petrography #thinsection FOV 1.2 mm
