In #EXP400 cores, scientists report "diamicton," from the Greek: dia (δια)= through & meiktós (µεικτός)= mixed. 🤔It's a jumble of land-derived sediment, ranging in size from clay to boulders🪨, all in a mud/sand matrix. Check out the variety of these #clasts!#NSFFunded #IODP

Rare occurrence of pebble-coated #clasts: eroded pieces of #glacial #clay (= #till) were rounded by #wave action in the shallow water #nearshore and 'breaded' with #sand and small #pebbles. #coast #coastaldynamics #pebblecoated #sediments #beach #Denmark

Today the humans have #pumpkin #cake for #dinner. They say it's tasty & find the pattern interesting. I as a #cat with #geologists told them that this pattern with the #clasts oriented in an angle to the base is called #imbrication in #sedimentology #geology #food #Cooking

So far, no one did the #dollypartonchallenge for #boulders. I guess, this means that I have to do it ... 🤪🤭 #rocks #clasts #geology #BoulderLover

Clast heaven in the coarse deposits of a submarine fan. Mud clasts and conglomerate (braided channel fills) clasts ripped up by the big turbidity current sands. #clasts #conglomerate #channels #highdensifyturbidity #goodbyemuds #socoarse #reservoirquality #clays
