Multi-tasking at its best… looking at the fate of tellurium in contaminated soils using the European synchrotron in Grenoble, keeping in touch with footy, all from the safety of our lockdown in Melbourne! Makes for interesting logbook… @MonashEAE @esrfsynchrotron

Day 63: I don't think "comet" porphyroclasts are an accepted term in structural geology, but this is an example of one. I'm not sure exactly how these form and I've only ever seen this one. This is in a mylonite from the Pichao shear zone NW Argentina #100daysofgeoscience

The amazing @melaniefinch_ of @MonashEAE features in the latest episode of @avid_podcast. Make sure you check it out!

[Avid Research @avid_podcast]

New Episode alert!
A wonderful interview with the brilliant structural Geologist @melaniefinch_
We talk about the mechanics of how mountain ranges are created and the importance of Geology in sustainable futures tune in here https://t.co/SnjCb3JYMV

Day 55: A mylonitic granite. I wonder if the rectangular porphyroclasts started as a longer leucocratic layer that boudinaged into pieces…? Or can rectangular porphyroclasts from naturally from granitic phenocrysts? Any ideas?

Check out my new paper in Tectonophysics, integrating EBSD and volatile/trace element geochemistry of cratonic xenoliths impacted by flat slab subduction. Aside from the geology story, we really milked these EBSD datasets for every drop of new data!

New mineral alert! My first new mineral, wildcatite, is officially published - a calcium iron tellurate hydroxide, CaFeTeO5(OH). It is named for the small gold prospect in which it was found, Wildcat prospect in Utah, USA, which I visited in 2018.
