  1. The pillow rinds have preferentially weathered, outlining the basalt pillows formed at least 3.75 and perhaps as long ago as 4.3 billion years ago. Now metamorphosed to amphibolite grade. In the Ujaraaluk unit of the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt, near #Inukjuak, northern #Quebec. #McGill University #EarthSystemScience #PillowBasalt #Hadean 1/2

  6. Cambrian Potsdam sandstone exposed at Pointe du Buisson, on the south shore of the St. Lawrence near Montreal. The sandy veins cross-cutting bedding have been interpreted as Seismites that record earthquake shaking and soft sediment deformation 500 million years ago. What do you see, @keepitrheol ?

  9. is used to make dental porcelain (or rather, leucite + glass from melting feldspar incongruently). Thiis is becuase it:
    is immune system compatible
    is machinable
    is fracture resistant with low porosity
    it doesn't easily stain or discolour
    and most importantly, its thermal expansion matches the metal anchor

  10. Congratulations to Dr. Keavin Moore, who successfully defended his PhD thesis, "Coupled Models of Water on Terrestrial Planets Orbiting M-Dwarfs"
    (supervised by Nic Cowan)

    Keavin's models predict that water dissolved in a magma ocean, combined with recycling hydrated crust back into the mantle, can both limit water loss during the early active phase of a red dwarf star.

  15. Callan Bentley has written a blog post on the Jenner blueschists and eclogites at: mountainbeltway.all-geo.org/20
    He also collaborated on AGU's Streetcar2Subduction:
