@Geology_History I recommend watching: youtu.be/LaitlLpcDo8?si… There are 3 parts, that's the 1st one. In one of them, they speak about James Hutton.
My grandpa who is 85 started making this rock map of Scotland in 1992.He collected rocks during amateur geology trips over 30 years. He says it had to be geologically correct and also aesthetically pleasing.He asked if I could share online as He wants to go viral so please share
@Geology_History then there's "Castle in the Sky" (1986), in which the fictitious mineral Aetherium/Hikouki'ishi is being mined and it's the starting point for the movie's adventure

@Geology_History The photo you posted was taken later, on February 1st. Here’s the first photo. There’s a link in the thread to the source for the one you posted.
German astronomer Martin Brendel took the first photograph of an aurora #OTD in 1892, at Alta fjord in northern Norway.
@Geology_History Will watch! This Lupin episode's writer is clearly fascinated by natural history (other than philosophy). Mamoru Oshii is a great director, anime like Angel's Egg and Ghost in The Shell are still among my favourites.
I love these models! 😍 @GeolSoc @bgs @Geology_History
A master of disguise; what looks like a book on a shelf is actually a box full of geological teaching models. First produced by Thomas Sopwith in 1841, these beautifully hand-crafted wooden models were some of the earliest 3D representations of Earth’s geological formations.
