Bow Fiddle Rock was given its name from its appearance being likened to the tip of a bow protruding from the Portknockie waters of the North Sea. The rock is part of a larger mass of quartzite which runs from Buckpool, the west end of Buckie, to Logie Head, the main headland east of Cullen. Quartzite is a metamorphic rock, which means that it has been altered in nature by heat or by pressure. In this case layers of sandstone, grit and sediment piled upon each other creating immense pressure to create the much denser rock that is there today. Ancient continents Laurentia and Avalonia collided crumpling the strata/rock here, producing the rocks downward slope which can be seen in bigger proportions by looking at the larger area.

Some abstract photography. Last picture shows what it is. I’m no rock expert but an Amethyst Cluster. But feel free to correct me if i’m wrong. Selling it if anyone wants it :) Took these with my Nikon D500 and for the Macro, I used my Tokina 100mm Macro lens and for the last shot I used my vintage 50mm 1.8 AIS Pancake Nikkor Lens, chrome edition. • • • #AbstractPhotography #MacroPhotography #HomeboiPhotography #Nikkor #Nikon #50mm18ais #D500 #Tokina100mm #AmethystCluster #Amethyst #AmethystCrystal #EmeraldSapphire #Soulstone #pegmatites #granite #metamorphicrock #oxidizedzone #orecopper #lowsilica #feldspathoid #igneousrock #bluemineral #purplemineral #quartz #enchantedmineral #gemstone #moonlightgemstone #heirloom #naturalbasalt #quartzcrystalcluster (at New England) https://www.instagram.com/p/COY5IkZHzD0/?igshid=w6q6ygtj9p4q

Alternative Conceptions

When doing the experiments about sedimentary and metamorphic rock, we don’t want students to build misconceptions. Make sure the kids know whats up!

Sedimentary rocks are made in a short period of time?

NO

They are made over thousands even millions of years!

_____________________________________________________________

Rocks are made out of play dough and there is only one way sedimentary and metamorphic rocks can look? 

NO

Show them real world pictures, let them know that its the process not the appearance that makes the rocks metamorphic or sedimentary!

_____________________________________________________________

It’s just a colourful rainbow swirl?

NO

The experiment is a representation! Beyond the Explore phase, emphasise this!

Looking for something unique and special. How about this one of a kind stone pendant. We collected this beautiful stone at Flathead Lake in Montana on a road trip a few years back. Montana lakes have the best shores and colorful rock lake beds. Hand drilled and wrapped in gold wire ready to brighten your fall look! #stonependant #montana #montanalakejewelry #flatheadlake #pendantnecklace #naturalstonenecklace #flatheadlakestones #metamorphicrock #bandedrock #rocknecklace #stonenecklace #lakestone #redlakestone #etsy #hippiejewelry #stonejewelry #stonependant #giftidea #giftideas #stockingstuffer #giftforfriend #necklace #handmadegifts #handmade https://etsy.me/3WXn3gM

The rock cycle shows the relationship between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphicrocks.
