  3. The length of Earth's day is stable due to dozens of counter-rotating Kugel fountains all over the globe. It's only a meter in diameter, but is spinning much faster than the Earth!

  7. Congratulations to Dr Moses Angombe, who successfully defended his PhD thesis titled, "Exploring Transient Coseismic Deformation in Fault Systems: Insights from Paleo-seismic Thrusts and Active Faults." Moses mapped transient high-fluid pressure on the sliding surface of a thrust fault, experimentally fractured rock samples to support his observations, and is characterizing anomalous seismicity in northern Namibia.

    Paleontologists discover Sask.'s 1st fossil specimens of horned centrosaurus
    McGill University students and paleontologists have documented what they say are Saskatchewan's first confirmed centrosaurus fossil specimens.

  9. How many shells are in the jar (ballpoint pen for scale)? A guessing game from the Redpath Museum at yesterday's Gem and Mineral show.

    Answer in the Alt text of the photo (and 👍 for Mastodon eventually allowing polls and images in the same toot!).

  10. Ben representing the Redpath Museum at our joint table at the Montreal Gem and Mineral Show. Stop by to say hello if you're at the show on Sunday.

  11. Charlotte Spruzen (doctoral student in Galen Halverson's group) and Maxwell Lechte (post-doc, same group) were involved in creating the new PBS NOVA documentary, "Ancient Earth: Frozen". It debuted this week.

    This episode focused on Snowball Earth events and how they influenced eukaryote evolution. Charlotte helped explain how and why Snowball Earth began, how eukaryotes might have survived, what caused the deglaciation.

  15. A thick section in both transmitted light (crossed polarizers) & reflected light. It shows the results of an experiment at mantle conditions to equilibrate the microstructure of olivine grains (colorful) and iron-nickel-sulfur melt (bronze colored, unmixed on solidification). The sulfide melt largely forms pockets at grain corners, and does not interconnect along grain edges. This melt can not easily separate from the silicate.
