Aerial view of the incredible Damara Mountains in Namibia - for all those who like in particular tectonics with plenty of tight folds.
600 to 400 million years old marine sedimentary rocks (mainly turbidites) were tilted and folded during a mountain building episode, when the supercontinent Gondwana was formed (width of view is around 5 km / 3.1 mi).

Our team had a great time catching up over the weekend 🍻Great to see our members having fun and special welcome to those who joined 🎉💃

Happy ‘week 14’ everyone 🥰 hopefully exam period treats you nicely ❤️

Colourful geology in Northeast Greenland (aerial view). The peaks of the impressive Syltoppen mountain range are around 1500 metres high. The colourful layers (Neoproterozoic Eleonore Bay Supergroup) were uplifted, tilted and partly folded during the Caledonian orogeny. They are located at the Kong-Oscar-Fjord, one of the longest and deepest fjords on earth.

Incredibly beautiful shot in California 😲😍

Discovered accidentally by a farmer in Namibia Africa, the Hoba meteorite remains a mysterious marvel. This mammoth slab of iron, weighing a staggering 60 tons, is Earth's largest natural chunk of iron. It's estimated to have impacted our planet some 80,000 years ago, and one of the most fascinating aspects of the meteorite is that it left no impact crater, despite its immense size.

Tomorrow is the day! We hope everyone can join us for a wonderful mid-sem decompression hike 🤣😜

Here, we see a fault propagation fold in the Yeso Formation at the Quebradas Back Country Byway, which is east of the Rio Grande between Socorro and San Antonio, New Mexico.
The outcrop has multiple faults, and it will be amazing to explore it.

Aerial shot of earth pyramids in South Tyrol, Italy.
Earth pyramids are a special phenomenon of erosion. The slim rock cones (up to 15 m high) have been formed by rainwater washing away from a mixture of huge rocks, sand and clay deposited by glaciers during the Ice Age. The bolders protect the cones from erosion until they tumble.

Wild Wednesday

This rock formation is the CLOSEST figure I have found to show how the "pipes / chimneys" run through the mine.

The difference at my mine is that the "walls" of the pipe are Amethyst, with Copper material inside.

EDIT - NOT A TREE - LOL
