Rothstein-Formation

566 Millionen Jahre altes Gestein. Kieselschiefer aus der Gruppe der Grauwacken. Im Gefüge befindet sich heller Quarzit. Das über eine halbe Milliarde Jahre alte Gestein ist der letzte verbliebene natürliche Rest des Cadomischen Gebirges. Entstanden im Neoproterozoikums, zu einer Zeit als das Leben auf der Erde noch so fremdartig war, dass Sciences Fiktion Filme ihre helle Freude daran gehabt hätten. Entstanden aus Turbiditen, Trübeströmen, die von den Kontinentalhängen Nord-Gondwanas und eines nordwestlich davon befindlichen Inselbogen aus Basalten und Tephriten in die Tiefsee strömten. Scherbewegungen zweier Ozeanplatten in 5 000 Metern Tiefe zerrissen den Meeresgrund. Heiße silikatreiche Thermalwässer verkieselten die entstandenen Grauwacken und schufen dieses sehr harte blaugraues Gestein. Von den vier Fundstellen in der Niederlausitz gibt es heute nur noch zwei kleine Reste.

Polygonalplatten aus #Silberquarzit sind eine hervorragende Wahl für Schwimmbecken wie in unserem Beispeile hier. Quarzit ist ein natürliches Gestein, das sich durch seine Härte, Witterungsbeständigkeit und Strapazierfähigkeit auszeichnet. Diese Eigenschaften machen es zu einem idealen Material für den Einsatz in Außenbereichen wie Schwimmbecken - sowohl um das Becken herum, als als #Abdeckung auch aus Auskleidung und für den #Bodenbelag. Die Polygonalplatten aus Quarzit sind in der Regel in unregelmäßigen Formen und Größen gespalten, was ihnen ein rustikales und naturnahes Aussehen verleiht. Durch die natürlichen Farbtöne des Quarzits, wie Grau, Braun, Beige oder Grün passt sich das Material wunderbar in die Umgebung des #Schwimmbecken ein. Ein weiterer Vorteil von Quarzit-Polygonalplatten ist ihre rutschfeste Oberfläche. Dies ist ein wichtiger Faktor, wenn es um die Sicherheit von Schwimmbadbesuchern geht. Durch die raue gespaltene Oberfläche wird das Rutschen und Ausgleiten auf nassen Flächen stark reduziert, was das Risiko von Unfällen minimiert. Darüber hinaus sind #Quarzit-Polygonalplatten einfach zu installieren und erfordern nur wenig Wartung. Sie sind robust genug, um den täglichen Gebrauch und die Witterungseinflüsse zu überstehen, ohne dass sie viel Pflege benötigen. Gerne liefern wir Ihnen Ihre #Polygobalplatten für Ihren #Garten, #Schwimmbad oder #Pool www.naturstein-wolf.de (hier: Natursteinwolf GmbH & Co.

Thutmose III as a Sphinx

This finely executed representation of Thutmose III as a sphinx is made of extremely hard stone. The transition between the head of the king and the powerful feline body has been masked by the nemes headdress and the stylized lion’s mane which forms a bib-like panel on the chest.

A short column of inscription running down the chest identifies the king as “the Good God Menkheperre, beloved of [Amun].” The name of the god Amun was erased later in 18th Dynasty during the reign of Akhenaten, and was never restored.

New Kingdom, mid-18th Dynasty, reign of Thutmose III, ca. 1479-1425 BC. Made of Quarzite. Now in the Metropolitan Museum. 08.202.6

More from the Mara-fakes-her-death fic

“I need five standard minutes.” Ignoring Karrde’s bare feet and the way his dress shirt hung open, Mara held up the bulb of pulkay. 

His eyes narrowed, something that wasn’t quite concern flickering behind them. Then his lips pursed and he slanted his gaze left. 

“He can join us. Or not. Your choice.” 

Karrde stepped back, the thick carpet swallowing the sound of his movement, and Mara slipped through the doorway. She took in the space at a glance, from the wall of privacy-shielded windows to the Quarzite chandelier to the man sitting up on the lounger to the right of the doorway. 

“Mara,” Lando greeted warmly, unfazed by being caught in nothing more than a borrowed bathrobe of plum velvet, his usually flawless hair disheveled. “To what do we owe the pleasure?”    

“Business,” Talon stated, appearing at Mara’s side with three squat glasses. Putting them on the table, he took the bulb from her. “What’s happened?” 

“I need to disappear.” 

Both men went still, the full weight of their attention settling on her. 

“Now?” Lando asked in consternation after a moment. “Aren’t you in the middle of —” 

“Yes,” Mara agreed. “Which is why you’re going to help me fake my death.”

“There’s no way to exit negotiations without causing a scene,” Talon murmured, resuming his pouring. “So you’re choosing the only scene they can’t take action against.” He paused. “I assume there’s a suitably drastic cause for such an extreme action?”

“There is, but it might be best if I don’t tell you now.”  

“I see. Will you be telling anyone else?”

Her expression fell somewhere between nonplussed and what have you done with your brain? “No.” Impatience crept in at his continued silence. “Who the fuck would I tell?”

“Skywalker?” Talon suggested, keeping his tone as light as possible. 

Mara snorted. “Skywalker won’t even notice that I’m gone.”

Old Quarzit

Posting about my (main) silly little Star Wars ocs because I have like four posts to my name 😂 but now I will have FIVE !!!

My Main Oc is a former Jedi called Salo!

Salo is a Togruta in his mid 20’s(during the clone war era) and early 40’s(rebels era)

He left the Jedi order just before first year of the clone wars but offered to still serve as a medic during it. He left due to believing he held too many attachments to properly serve as a Jedi. After order 66 was called he survived due to many not knowing about his history with the order and he left to become a bounty hunter

Salo quite often day-dreams and due to this tends to forget if he did actually do something or if he imagined he did. As such many people think he is forgetful. While never not friendly Salo doesn’t make an effort to extend his friend group. After order 66 he withdraws more than he already had and feels quite anxious speaking with people he didn’t know prior. This has not stopped him from somehow acquiring many adopted children that follow him around like ducklings

One of my other oc’s is the Quarzite Senator known as Silvanis Breic!

He is the star-warised version of an old warrior cat oc and I admit this shamelessly

He is a member of the Kage species and is quite young for a senator, only being in his mid to late teens. Their parents were prisoners of war during a civil war lasting generations between the Kage and the Belugans on the planet, captured while on a trip outside their village alongside their (at the time) young son. The tyrannical Lord of the Belugans saw advantage in raising Silvanis as a senator, to try and show the rest of the galactic senate(and by extension, the Jedi) that since a Kage was speaking on behalf of the planet no outside involvement was necessary. The last senator, an aging Belugan, quit when he realised galactic war had broken out as the stress of it and the civil war back home was something they didn’t want to deal with. Due to them quitting unexpectedly soon Silvanis had to step up to the role younger and less prepared than planned.

Silvanis is very poor at socialising with people outside of senate meetings and debates. He wasn’t socialised very well as a child and he finds it difficult to read other people’s emotions. While he is very perceptive Silvanis rarely chooses to act on what he sees unless it affects him or his job. They struggle with trusting other people and is known to hold grudges for quite a long period of time.

Database(CT-7828) is one of my clone ocs!

He is a starfighter pilot and he loves his job, in fact it is quite difficult to get him to stop talking about his ship. He earned his name from seemingly having the answer to every question one of his vode might have about airships. He even has a tattoo of his Starfighter on his cheek!

Despite his talkativeness when dealing with starfighters, Database is difficult to talk too about anything else. He is quite shy while approaching people who aren’t a clone and most conversations with him result in an awkward silence while he loads up what to say.

Thanks for reading if you got this far lol !!!

Again for fossil interested it’s Fossil Friday.

I may have today or for the future an idendification to ask for you and to share.

I found these rocks with these pattern on the farmlands recently, and seen others like these plenty a lot in the search of stones.

Edit:

Likely quarzit Skolithen out of Sandstone are these. Skolithus linearis are some of it shown.

The calcite and sand filled tubes from worms, i suggest marine worms and other origin.

Are these also fossils, tube tracks of them or maybe only cluster of calcite, mineral deposition. ?

If you have answers or hints, than a search for more informations of this case. Then i write an proper post with these.

It’s eventually limestone, not crumpling study stone. No big Quarz or crystalization in or on them, some tiny spots in the sandstone here and there.

Found on worked on farmland on sandy ground. In the middle north province of germany. I got two smaller pieces now.

For unique writing asks, 7

7. Favorite description in your wip? (If asked more than once, respond with a new piece each time)

This is from my original fiction, a novella that takes place on my imaginary world of Elivera. I'll show Arun's perspective first, and then Karik's perspective. They are the two protagonists in this tale:

ARUN

Eddies and swirls tugged at their clothing and packs. Sanel struggled with pulling the sled as it was pushed back and forth from rising gusts. Bits of rock and fungi spores had forced them all to don their facemasks. Up ahead, Jak dodged from boulder to boulder down the sides of the saddle pass. Arun could barely see him from her vintage point at the crest of the saddle. Her equipment ran low on battery, and the wind shield wouldn’t last much longer. Without it, they could be blown right off the pass. The gusts had doubled in speed over the day. Clouds swept through the lavender sky, like a surrealist painting.

KARIK

The violet trees rose like sentinels in the valley, their branches dancing to the canyons’ minor chorus. Each sway collided with a nearby branch to produce a drumbeat in harmony with the canyons’ soprano tones. Today the song howled with the advent of a great storm and grey-black clouds hugged the horizons. “Breathe, Karik,” the old teacher, Teak San, said, his gnarled hand against Karik’s back. “Listen. What do you sense?” They stood on a rock outcropping in the midst of the dancing sea of iridescent trees. The rock was cold under Karik’s bare feet, a mixture of basalt and granite. Bits of quarzite and mica swirled in the grey-black stone, each vein glimmering in the light of the two moons and the lavender-hued sunset. The canyons’ soprano hugged a minor key as the storm winds swept hundreds of units per hour through all five canyons, the wind emptying out over the forest of Egoni.

Thank you for asking! :D

On’Tala Caris (they/he): A former stormtrooper sniper with advanced mechanical skills. Their tone can be misinterpreted- the group’s name was his sarcastic suggestion that Esepi ran with. Born in 16 BBY on Quarzite. His mother is a former Kage Warrior (since retired), and his father a metalworking artisan: the couple had many enemies before his mother retired, so On’Tala was mainly raised by his extended family. While they try to play the part of the edgy, sarcastic loner, thanks to his grandmothers he is sincere, polite, and generous, and few fall for the ruse.

On’Tala’s is the fifth of six portraits made in Picrew that I will be posting over the next few days, along with a brief bio for each of the characters. This one was made using ghostgothic’s creator, which can be found here. I also used pictures of mountain climber Vadim Vinokur for reference.
