Some say that geology is boring - and some say that geologists bother rocks. All we know is that this geology itself is bored.
It is a lump of London Clay that I picked up on the Essex coast. It was a uniform deep grey then but it has become desiccated. It didn't have those cracks when I picked it up, either. The holes are where it has been bored by piddocks - shellfish rather like clams. In their larval stage, the said piddocks settle on the clay and other soft rocks and burrow as they grow.

As lots more people arrive today it seems like a good time to chat about a project that I'm privileged to be part of.
I'm delighted to be co-supervising a new collaborative doctoral partnership with colleagues from #QMUL and #MOLA.
Tom Chivers, author of #LondonClay, will be exploring the relationship between people, #history, landscape and environment through the lens of #mudlarking on the Thames!

Tonight's plans were dashed last minute so we stayed home and tried to write some new songs for a potential London Clay album...worked hard, had a few drinks, now listening to Helmet...
