Question: was the Mw 4.x EQ in Nepal the cause of the glacier collapse, or did the glacier collapse result in an apparent EQ?
Must be humiliating to the administration that the geologic core of the North American continent is the Canadian Shield

Oncoids? Pisolites? Not really sure, but I love seeing these carbonate sediments in the field. ⚒️🤌🇮🇹
Epic hike yesterday: Malga Ra Stua, Fodera Vedla, Sennes, Biella. 24 km, 1000 m elevation gain. Can you spot the 🐐 in the first image? ⚒️🤌🇮🇹
I love this view of the relatively thin interval of red beds barely exposed in a sea of Triassic dolomite. Contrast! 🤌⚒️
I found a vertebrae-like fossil(?) in Eocene carbonates of the Tuscan Apennines, Valdarno area. Anyone able to ID this? ⚒️
