@The_Jow Good shots

[University of Tasmania @UTAS_]

The three day Critical and Strategic Metals Symposium will bring together experts from academia, industry and government to discuss the latest research, opportunities and challenges in the field.

Join us next month: https://t.co/LeLxeab57w

One month til the CODES Critical and Strategic Metals Symposium @UTAS_! Session topics include Li, Sn, W, REE, Co, Cu, Ni and PGEs.
Still time to register your attendance, follow the instructions at https://t.co/Wu0giE4a2M to register. We look forward to welcoming you to Hobart!

#thinsectionthursday Massive pyrrhotite replacing garnet, or infilling along growth zones of garnet? Look at the fantastic pseudo-morphology after garnet growth zones! #oredeposit #skarn

Our paper titled ‘Metallogenic setting and temporal evolution of porphyry Cu-Mo mineralization and alteration in the Delamerian Orogen, South Australia’ is on line by Economic Geology! And our Fig 1 is adopted as the cover photo of the journal’ latest issue!

This Hotel is built on Tertiary Basalt (ca. 13 Ma), that develops perfect column structures, from Burnie, NW Tassie. Dream hotel for geologists!

[Wei Hong @WeiHong86]

Our very proud volcanologist A/Prof. RebeccaCarey did a fascinating talk regarding their latest research on super-eruption of the Hunga-Tonga volcano during last January. Very enjoying this seminar at CODES/Earth Sciences in @UTAS_ look forward to reading their paper soon

#thinsectionthursday It’s not a thin section image, but showing big chunk of light-yellow scheelite crystals under UV light. They are cemented by magnetite and epidote from the Kara mine of NW Tassie. We are doing a regional research collaboration project on #CriticalMinerals

It’s Hobart. What’s the year this photo was taken?

[National Museum of Australia @nma]

Place that pic!

Can you guess the location on this Aussie postcard?

We’ll post the answer in the comments on Wednesday.

[Wei Hong @WeiHong86]

Checking drill core rocks at coreshed again. It likes a piece of art

[Wei Hong @WeiHong86]

This is we used a portable UV-light torch confirming scheelite veins within magnetite-epidote skarn at Kara, Tassie. from left: David C, Lejun Zhang, Yamila and me, a terrific image taken by @scimissionowen

@RNArmstrong1 @WeiHong86 I apologise it's not the most flattering angle, but here's the UV viewing under a jacket in action!

[Wei Hong @WeiHong86]

@scimissionowen @RNArmstrong1 Wow, l like it and send it to Caroline for a photo compete!

[Wei Hong @WeiHong86]

#criticalminerals

got a chance to hit the Kara magnetite-scheelite mine. Can you find the scheelite chunks in magnetite-epidote skarn background? They are quite obvious but one may need UV light to confirm

[Wei Hong @WeiHong86]

@RNArmstrong1 We actually brought a UV light instrument (portable) during the visit

For those interested in volcanic processes and related hydrothermal mineralisation, have a check on Prof Dave Cooke’ LinkedIn live postings — he and A/Prof Rebecca Carey are leading a group of masters students having field-based shortcourse in New Zealand! https://t.co/hFWWG9Bri7

@Withers_Meg Cowal lake and the Cu mine?

[Wei Hong @WeiHong86]

@mini1607 😍

[Wei Hong @WeiHong86]

@alexstrekeisen I asked you where your stichtite from a few months ago via Instagram. Are you sure it from New Zealand?🤣

[Wei Hong @WeiHong86]

Robed a piece of rock from my supervisor’s office, characterised by stichtite (purple) in serpentine (yellow-green), from the Dundas field of western Tasmania. Stichtite is a rare chromium-magnesium carbonate with a standard formula: Mg6Cr2CO3(OH)16•4H2O. Look at the beauties!
