Lovely find published in the journal Geobiology by our alumna Erica Barlow @AstrobiologyPSU @PSU_EMS with help from Max Wetherington in the PSU Materials Characterization Lab (MCL)

I have an awesome honours project available for next year at @UTAS_ investigating 'Tasmanian Snowball Earth events and links to mineralisation'. Feel free to get in touch for more info or check out the description (and other available projects) here: https://t.co/24Fe0eAYNb

This @psuresearch discovery by @ericavbarlow shows a leap in microfossils 2.4B years ago. It's the first direct link between environmental changes during the Great Oxidation Event and an increase in life complexity. https://t.co/3qDCyOFECs

Fantastic presentations to wrap up #IGC23! Some interesting data & cool findings 🤓 @AstrobiologyPsu @GeoscPSU

[Mac Best @mackattack1009]

It’s our last day! Students of the International Geobiology Course #IGC23 are making their final presentations. It’s been an absolute whirlwind and they have lots to show for it! @penn_state @PSUEMS @GeoscPSU

The travertine quarry at Acquasanta Terme had amazing laminations and textures 👀 Could have spent days there looking at everything! 😄

[Mac Best @mackattack1009]

The international geobiology course #IGC2023 had a great time with some fun carbonate chemistry at sulfidic springs and a travertine quarry in the town of Acquasanta @penn_state @NMT_EES @NMTBiology @newmexicotech @PSUEMS @GeoscPSU

[Dr. Erica Barlow @ericavbarlow]

Checking out some fossilized travertine in Italy with students on the International Geobiology Course! #igc2023

[Mac Best @mackattack1009]

International Geobiology Course #IGC2023 took a drive to Acquasanta today! Take a gander at that travertine 👀 @NMT_EES @NMTBiology @penn_state @GeoscPSU @PSUEMS

[Mac Best @mackattack1009]

International Geobiology Course students measured strat sections at the Avacelli outcrop today! Black shales, cheers, and carbonates oh my! #IGC2023 @penn_state @PSUEMS @GeoscPSU @newmexicotech @NMT_EES @NMTBiology
