sometimes you just have to do something to bring yourself a bit of joy in these hard times…

today I subscribed to the dungeons and daddies patreon (at the lowest tier) and right now I’m listening to Cummingtonite and the sun is shining on my face like this moment was sculpted by God and Will Campos himself to make sure that I live another day in happiness on this rock we call earth

[thatonesalmonlingnamedspike]

(Mg,Fe2+)2(Mg,Fe2+)5Si8O22(OH)2? (this is a joke)

[what-immortal-hand-or-eye]

Call me (Mg,Fe2+)2(Mg,Fe2+)5Si8O22(OH) the way im CU-I am ambushed by a pack of savage jesters who tear out my throat with their teeth filed into brutal points and keep ripping at my twitching gushing body until i am stripped bare and my bones are cracked and drained of marrow and the wild jesters in their gore splattered regalia cast about with eyes bloodshot and dry as they abandon my corpse in search of fresh prey

hey sket u know how a bit ago sacabambaspis was a huge meme. do u know of any other cool rocks or fossils that u wish more people knew about (as in either were more popular in general or that there was more general info discovered about it in the science community)

OMG AKIRE THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION TYSM

ok so i thought of both silly and cool examples (just two of each tho) here's the silly ones that i think should be mentioned more

first off is this dinosaur called the Pisanosaurus which is rly funny to me because pis is pee and ano is anus in Spanish literally making him the Pee anus lizard. also this specific reconstruction is funny bc it reminds me of the "ppl with blue eyes" memes

THEN it's not a specific mineral but a habit, which is basically a way certain crystals can grow. this habit is specifically called the mamelon habit, and mamelon in french is nipple. and in uni they taught us that they have "the shape of breasts" (mamas in Spanish) AND IT KILLS ME BC. WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABT IT. WHO WAS THE HORNY GEOLOGIST THAT SAW THIS AND SAID YEAH THAT'S BOOBS. MANS NEVER SAW A PAIR OF TIDDIES IN HIS LIFE

OK now for cool stuff i can't come up with cool fossils on the top of my head rn but basically any fossil outside of North America and sometimes Europe. All the movies, books and documentaries about dinosaurs literally only show dinos from the US when there's really cool and even the biggest CREATURES that roamed the Earth from South America (i.e Patagotitan, Giganotosaurus). So media being US centric as always :^)

as for minerals i don't see these mentioned often. this one's called galena it has lead in it and it's cool bc it breaks and also forms in these cubic shapes! and since it's metallic it looks like something man made or like from a sci fi film, it's cool

AND THEN this is bornite it's called the peacock ore, usually it's like a light brown color but when exposed to the surface it'll oxidize so you'll p much always see it with these pretty colors! literally the gay mineral
