Malcolm Canmore's Tower, Dunfermline, Scotland

Like many historic cities, there is often a through line to the ancient past. Here in the ruins of the 11th Century CE Canmore's Tower, is perhaps a hint of a more ancient fortification?

Not enough photos of the Palisades Sill on here!

Those 2 are my pics but they do not nearly represent how awesome she is. evidence:

I love you earth, I love you time, I love you millions of years of erosion exposing giant sheets of intrusive igneous rock for me to gawk at

I had a field trip to a local outcrop last Saturday. There were marine fossils and limestone (lots of limestone), iron concretions and a paleosol bed, as well as a bit of chert (the chert is not local to this particular area though!). No digging or taking samples allowed, however, I took many pictures:) ! I’m especially interested in chert, it’s a very cool chalcedony variant. I will be doing a 15 minute presentation about Buffalo River Chert at the end of May. I might tell you all more about that trip later on:) I’m excited for it!! 🪨🏞️🛶

A Granite outcrop rising half a kilometer above the flat surrounding plain. Around 2.6 Billion years old Peak Charles is one of many large outcroppings of ancient bedrock that are exposed across western Australia, this outcrop sits about at the edge of the Yilgarn craton

One more fun image from the boat while at Capri. Not sure who's boat that is … but I did like it against the backdrop of the rocks jutting from the water.

The Batagaika Crater, located in the Chersky Range of northeastern Siberia, Russia, is the largest permafrost crater in the world. One kilometer (0.6 miles) long, 100 meters (328 feet) deep, and growing, it has been sinking due to thawing permafrost since the 1960s. Batagaika’s rim is extremely unstable and the site of regular landslides, retreating by as much as 30 meters (98 feet) in a single year.
