Michael Anenburg@manenbu.bsky.social · last wk.It’s paper proof reviewing time!
Considering this graphic from the Wang et al. (2019) paper on exhumation of eclogites. [ source agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... ] I have some critique. ⚒️
What happened to Mike Morrison's "Better Poster"? I used to see this design occasionally several years ago, but in recent conferences it's back to 99% "wall of text" style. Did we forget about this amazing thing?
The Guardian is indistinguishable from Nazi propaganda these days. Nothing that we didn’t already know, but this is next level.

I'm writing a paper on oxygen fugacity and it has a figure that looks like this. I apologise in advance. Signed, Michael Anenburg—an oxygen fugacicist.
The amount of antisemitism I’m seeing here, even from fellow earth scientists I have interacted with quite a lot in the old Twitter days, is disappointing.

Nadine, Hunter of Rocks@nadwgab.bsky.social · 8mo ago336 of #365Minerals 🧪⚒️ Melanophlogite: - A silicate mineral with the same composition as quartz - Often forms with calcite & sulphur - Forms as a low temperature mineral in sulphur deposits - Its name comes from the Greek words for "black" & "to be burned" because it blackens when heated #minerals
How do you get copper in post-subduction porphyry deposits? You flush ancient sulfide cumulates with deeper oxidised magmas! New paper out now with Shiwei Wang from Hefei UoT as lead author: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
No matter how far you zoom in it's all sharp corners. Any finite stretch along the x-axis becomes a terrible mouth lined with infinite teeth. Every pointed sliver opens up into a thousand hungry little razors. Mathematicians were aghast. (5/n)
And he then *asked himself a question* which he then answered for a further 3-4 minutes before finally getting off the stage. I can't even remember what the talk was about. What an ass.

Mineral Monday: Oxygen fugacity buffer calculator by Michael Anenburg Michael Anenburg has developed a graphical oxygen fugacity buffer calculator, available at fo2.rses.anu.edu.au/fo2app/ #MSACommunications #MineralMonday #mineralogy #oxygenfugacity
New paper: we discovered a new way for magmas to crystallise (!), and it also made one of the largest known carbonatite REE deposits. Out now in Nature Communications: doi.org/10.1038/s414... #geology @scienceanu.bsky.social
#ThinSectionThursday qeltite marked in pink, together with some gehlenite, wollastonite, nagelschmidtite, magnetite, and kalsilite. What is qeltite? Good question! See link in reply for the story.
We tried to measure an apatite composition using many different methods and failed miserably, so we wrote a paper about it. Available at the Journal of Materials Chemistry B: doi.org/10.1039/D5TB...
Silica substituted carbonate apatite: synthesis and analytical challenges
We use a high temperature experiment to demonstrate a coupled substitution mechanism for carbonate and silica in apatite, namely 2PO3−4 → SiO4−4 + CO2−3, with carbonate substituting for phosphate (typ...

Pro writing tip: When proof-reading a paper before submission or revision, change the font and print it out on paper. Trust me, you will find so many mistakes you had no idea were there, even though you've read the thing a million times on your computer screen.
![Comic. [two people in labcoats look at body pierced with blade draped over bench] PERSON 1: We found him lying uncomformably on the lab bench. I wonder if the iron-rich intrusion in his back is related. PERSON 2 with ponytail: It could be clastic. Maybe a rift opened in his body, and the intrusive material later fell into the hole.
