Bit late for #FossilFriday, but I just found time to clean the #fossils we found on our last trip to Nettersheim. They are from a reef environment from the middle Devon (about 380 million years old). I am not an expert but I like how well the little structures on the surface are preserved. βš’οΈ

March 8, 1857, British seismologist John Milne is hired by the Japanese government as a foreign adviser. Milne established the first seismograph stations and organized the seismic survey of Japan in the last half of the 1800s

Great signal on my Raspishake seismometer following the M5.5 #earthquake at the Greece-Albanian border tonight. The seismic waves arrived approximately 4 mins after origin time at my Raspishake located in Herne, Germany, 1700 km away from the epicenter! βš’οΈπŸ§ͺ @raspishake.bsky.social

Nevermind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:

Linear Algebra
Nuclear Physics (don’t ask)
Engineering Geology
Optical Mineralogy
Field Geology

Well, I’m no expert, but it seems that’s a bit far off for all of the phenomena you experienced! Amazing!

It would be interesting to estimate the β€œas the crow flies” distance from where you were that moment, and MSH. You can use Google Maps, on a desktop or mobile app. I have the instructions if you need them.

Scary, Randy, but love that you keep the family history of that eruption! Great recounting of their reaction! Thank you!

Yikes! That you heard MSH’s is amazing. BTW, you’re not wrong about California. Many towns are within susceptible distance to volcanic hazards from potential future Lassen eruptions.
