Some #DogWalkingGeology from last week. Spud is pointing out some nice layered gabbro-melatroctolite from the Ben Buie Complex in SE Mull. 😊 #Geology #Igneous

Today's #DogWalkingGeology : boulder No 5 🤯 😁🤩 #Geology #Mull #Moine

From yesterday's #DogWalkingGeology, expanding clays in action!!! This green smectitic clay (saponite- nontronite?) intergrown with laumontite in an amygdale within recently-quarried basalt has got wet and expanded dramatically, fracturing the basalt around the amygdale. #Geology #Mineralogy #Kilfinichen #Mull #Paleogene 🤯 😊

#DogWalkingGeology from a couple of days ago - Spud has found some super sillimanite at Bendoran, as pale knobbly lumps (with a little coexisting pink andalusite) , sticking out of metapelite.These are probably replacements of older, large regional-metamorphic kyanite crystals due to high temperature reheating by intrusion of the Ross of Mull Granite. #Mull #Geology #Metamorphic #Al2SiO5

#DogWalkingGeology from this morning. Here's a lovely wee layer of pale blue elongate kyanite crystals, pale pink elongate andalusite, plus some wee brown round garnets, in schist from Ardalanish Bay. Although the andalusite and kyanite look happy together, they are not actually in equilibrium: this layer has "frozen" during the slow process of converting kyanite to andalusite. Reactions are all about the kinetics! #Metastable #Mull #Moine #RossOfMullGranite #Geology #Minerals #Al2SiO5 #Kinetics

#DogWalkingGeology this beautiful clean schist boulder on Ardalanish beach shimmers and shines in any available sunshine 🤩 😊 . I've photographed it lots of times, but never quite feel I've got it perfect. This morning's effort is typical 😁! #Geology #Mull #Metamorphic #Moine

From yesterday evening's #DogWalkingGeology at Uisken: this quartz vein has been squeezed. On the left, where the strain was lower, it has just folded a bit, but to the right where the strain was higher, it has fractured into small blocks which have been stacked over one another. At the exterme right these blocks have been so sheared and rotated that they are almost parallel. #Moine #Folding #StructuralGeology

#DogWalkingGeology Fabulous morning on frosty Ardalanish beach in Mull. Spud enjoying this lovely clean calc-silicate outcrop, with pink garnets, dark hornblende, and white plagioclase and quartz. #Moine #Metamorphic #AmphiboliteFacies
