  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🎨🩸 Red figures on the Huashan #cliffs have survived two millennia of subtropical #weather.

    New analysis found ancient Luoyue artists mixed human and animal blood into a #lime and #bone mortar, triggering #crystal growth that bonded the pigment to the #rock. The #blood’s origin remains unverified.

  9. Over two billion tonnes of iron ore have been mined from the Labrador Trough of Quebec and Labrador over the last 70 years. The paleo-Proterozoic sediments have been variably metamorphosed (you can see the bend in the southern part of the belt caused by the younger Grenville orogeny). Much of the direct shipping ore is dominated by the mineral .

    The steel of your lunchtime knife and fork may have come from the Trough!

  22. Go Hematite!

    It’s my son’s favourite mineral. It also gets a geobiological vote, as banded iron formations may have been produced by metabolising microbes over many millions of years, beginning billions of years ago.
