#gneiss — Public Fediverse posts

A very cool wolf spider, just quietly moving around on moss. Allowed enough time for a decent picture (with an android phone)
Set on a typical gneiss'ish rock infused with hard white quartz crystals.

It wouldn't be a holiday to Assynt without some serious rockery. Here we have the Moine Thrust exposure by Loch Glencoul and Loch Eileanach surrounded by wonderful Scourian gneiss and amphibolite dykes.

I don't normally post ads on social media, but this might be of interest to anyone interested in #geology in the #Glasgow area. I am selling a free-standing island kitchen unit (cupboard/drawers) with an absolutely stunning #granite (actually #gneiss ) top 127x86cm. It's beautifully polished and lovely minerals such as garnets, pyrite & pyroxene (?) are visible. Truly a spectacular top but I will have nowhere to put it ☹️.

Base units high quality, vgc, white

Please let me know if interested.

Gneiss Boulder

There is quite a pronounced change in the underlying geology, going from the beach at St Cyrus (igneous; tuff) half a mile further round to Tangleha'. So no wonder I was surprised to see this beautiful banded gneiss sitting in a beach of otherwise red sandstone.

@Anthro I found the source, Anthro! The Wilderness Suite granite: a part of the metamorphic gneiss posted by @AZGeology on Twitter: “Metamorphic #gneiss exposed just uphill from mile marker 5 along the Catalina Highway, Santa Catalina Mtns., Tucson, AZ. The parent rocks include the 1.4 billion-year-old blackish Oracle granite and the 50-million-year-old white Wilderness Suite #granite.”
We were blocked from going up the mountain as the road was closed by ice roads.

#Gneiss boulder

I came upon this stream-polished boulder along the Quinebaug River, just below East Brimfield Reservoir near #Sturbridge, #Massachusetts. Because it has been transported and I just took a photo, I don’t know its origins…but it looks like either the Quinebaug or Marlboro formations, Ordovician and Cambrian, respectively. Laurentia, not Gondwana. Lovely banding, eh? Lens cap is about 4 cm in diameter.

South Uist, 2020.

The boat in the foreground was called Stardust, but that really does depend on who's story you choose to believe...

One day here in northeastern MN, we went out on a walk to see where the wild blueberries were, and we came upon a rock outcropping. I always pick up interesting rocks. This one is a foliated gneiss, probably over 2 1/2 billion years old. And there it was, just waiting for me to pick up. That I live where such old things are there on the surface...mindblowing

#rockhounding #geology #gneiss

I swore I would share this astonishing rock face whenever I saw it on the bird site, so since I’ve migrated, I have to bring it here :)

The rock face was likely originally a #gneiss - a foliated #metamorphic rock where light minerals and dark minerals form in alternating bands due to high heat and pressure. This rock was further complexly folded and refolded during continental collisions and mountain building.

The rock face also has an unusual & beautiful texture caused by the more erodible bands partially eroding. Some have likened the texture to Damascus, a metal forging technique.
