  1. Steep mountains - that dominate #FaroeIslands landscape - are of #volcanic origin. Dark layers of #basalt alternate with the softer layers of reddish #tuff - stone made up of volcanic ashes.

    These steep mountainsides are called #hamar (rocky wall). At the base a collection of broken rock fragments - called #scree - can quite often be found.

  2. Over coffee this morning, browsing my unreads in NetNewsWire, I stumbled on Simon Willison’s mention of Alex Chan’s “Using static websites as tiny archives” post. And then I saw Jeremy Keith also mention it. So I thought I’d mention it to!

  3. Interbedded argillaceous & tuffaceous #sediments

    These photos are of #Cambridge #Argillite, exposed above the #Squantum Member of the #Roxbury Conglomerate (#Neoproterozoic). Prior to the 1970s or so, the Squantum Member was interpreted as #glacial sediments; it's now broadly interpreted as debris flows, with the Cambridge being distal turbidites overlying it. I lead a field trip here for #UMassBoston. See captions.

  8. Familiar contexts in new light, unfamiliar contexts brought to the fore. #Votive deposits to match those from elsewhere in Italy (plus some unusual pieces-- anasyrma anyone?); 5th c BCE architectural terracottas from Largo Argentina (to go with the bits of foundation in Tufo del Palatino/cappellaccio under Temple B?), #sculpture in both #terracotta and #tuff (just some old friends from Montemartini for the latter), lots of #Genucilia, Black Gloss, lamps, molds. 2/3
