@calamitaman
Geologist, blogger, and traveler, almost always in couple ❤️ 🇪🇺 🇯🇵 Lived in 四国 🎎 and will miss it forever. I post rocks as a stress relief ⚒️ My geology website:
For #FridayFold I would like to bring to your attention some folded quartz + carpholite veins in Permian metasandstones. Canaloni - Farma stream Monticiano-Roccastrada, Italy ⚒️ #geology
See the green guy? That is a pretty spinel in a cool rock, a felsic granulite from the ophiolites of Liguria, Italy What's a granulite doing within ophiolites? Well, I am sorry to clickbait you but I finished the space, so the answer is in the following post. ⚒️ #geology #ThinSectionThursday
Ammonite in the Rosso Ammonitico from Sassorosso, Italy ⚒️ #geology #paleontology
Written on the walls of the Department of Earth Sciences in Pisa, Italy. It can be translated as "when the time comes, the one who knows will know, and the one who doesn't will damage himself" Francesco Homisi (1620)
Albite crystals with internal foliation patterns defined by tiny graphite inclusions in a schist from Gorgona Island, Italy. FOV 3 mm "Ciao Gianni. Grazie per avermi portato a Gorgona" ⚒️ #geology
Nice isoclinal folds in marbles from the Island of Gorgona, Italy. This place is a prison where you need a permit to go and another special permit to shot photos, so please enjoy something that's really hard to photograph 😘 ⚒️ #geology
#ThinSectionThursday Round olivine crystals, completely transformed to serpentine with the typical 'mesh texture', surrounded by altered calcic plagioclase in a troctolite (an olivine-rich gabbroic rock). Width: 3 mm CPL Mattarana Quarry, Sestri Levante, Liguria, Italy
P.O.V. You are a bee and you are landing on this flower
I recently had the opportunity to partecipate to this research I am really glad to share here. Ambient Noise Tomography at the scale of the Tuscan region (TEMPEST) revealed the existence of huge reservoirs of magma below active geothermal fields #geology #geophysics ⚒️ www.nature.com/articles/s43...
1/2 Today my first (and only) spider paper was accepted! By browsing thousands of Argiope spider observations from India, we found that Argiope undulata is a species completely distinct from A. pulchella and was, thus, resurrected! 🥳 Link to the article: rdcu.be/fn7V4
My PhD advisor, colleague, and friend, Giovanni (Gianni) Musumeci passed away prematurely this week. Gianni dedicated his life to the study of the crystalline basements of Sardinia and the Tuscan Archipelago. It is thanks to him that I chose this path. Ciao Gianni, grazie di tutto
When the paper will be available online, there will also be this figure showing the ages of all rocks in the area. "older". The oldest stuff here is around 7 Ma :)
"Dear Dr. Samuele Papeschi, We are delighted to inform you that your manuscript titled "P-T modeling constrains the depth of emplacement of the Porto Azzurro Pluton and implies minor exhumation caused by the Zuccale Fault (Island of Elba, Italy)", has been accepted for publication in JMG."

Mylonitic leucogranite - photo stitching ⚒️ #geology
Superman! ...according to normal people. An S-shaped quartzite clast in a cataclasite, according to geologists. FOV 3 mm ⚒️ #geology
They look like experimentally deformed samples, but they actually are natural samples! Felciaio Shear Zone, Island of Elba ⚒️ #TectonicsTuesday #geology
Ultra-thin sections of marbles are another story! Strongly deformed calcite grain with deformation twins and recrystallized new grains forming all around. FOV 3 mm Ortano Marble, Elba ⚒️ #geology
Garnet - adularia veins FOV 3 mm ⚒️ #mineralmonday
Epidote veins FOV 3 mm ⚒️ #geology
