COLLECTIONS MOVE UPDATE!
This month we worked on the thin section store move. We moved 3160 thin section drawers!
#MovingAMountain has moved 8487 drawers, and is nearly at the end of this phase of the collections move. We're planning out the next phase now.

COLLECTIONS MOVE UPDATE!
We've finished moving the thin sections. Since the start of this project, we've moved over 100 tonnes of rocks!Β
We've now started moving the heat flow cores and our boxed rock samples.

COLLECTIONS MOVE UPDATE
We've finished packing up the stratigraphy and sedimentary collections!
We've started on the PhD theses collections, and we've been taking a peak at what past doctorate students were working before packing them up.

Knowing what is in each drawer is important, in case there is a toxic mineral that needs special handling.
Nono is checking the drawers' contents against the registers for anything toxic (and hoping to find some #Cinnabar but no luck yet!)

COLLECTIONS MOVE UPDATE! We've finished packing up our cores and have moved onto the stratigraphy collection! We've also welcomed Nono the stegosaur to the team! #MovingAMountain #MoveMonday
The drawers are ready to be processed!
Nono records which drawer they are documenting by scanning its barcode. The Sedgwick uses barcodes to record drawer locations.
This will tie the information recorded to the drawer when it's moved.

The first job each week during the collection move is picking drawers!
They fill 8 rock-stacks, of 16 drawers each. Picking is how drawers get moved in the right order.
Nono found the next drawer, and its full of G5a!

Nono is wearing their FFP3 mask.
With all the drawers we move each day, there can be a lot of rock dust in the air...
So to avoid getting any coughs, they get to show off their best Bane or Vader impression whenever they talk!

Our Senior Morale Officer, Nono the stegosaur, has come to join us in the office!
They heard in your feedback from our June campaign that you wanted to know how and why we were doing our collection move...

Oh dear, it seems this trilobite has lost his head!
This shale rock from Harper's Quarry, Wales, has a rather inconvenient band of quartz running through it...

This porphyritic alkali olivine basalt specimen was collected by the namesake of the new store it now lives in: Colin Forbes! But we can't help but wonder if the suspiciously UK shaped slice was intentional or a happy accident...

COLLECTIONS MOVE UPDATE!
We've finished moving the largest part of our collection the Harker Collection!
We've now started packing up the cores before we move onto the stratigraphy collection next month!

The @SedgwickMuseum Collections Move Team finds all kinds of colourful rocks when #MovingAMountain. To celebrate Pride month, they created a Progress Pride flag. Find out how they created a digital engagement project around the flag on our blog: https://t.co/BJh5StdOIU
Tholeiitic rocks, like this basalt from the Deccan Traps in India, are one of the most common igneous rocks in the Earth's crust.
The pink crystals on this rocks surface makes it our favourite example in the collection that we've come across!

The crates we use to pack our large objects are second hand (thank you @ZoologyMuseum!)
But as we prepare them for their new contents, we get to wonder at what used to be in them thanks to these handy labels!

Wishing the fabulous @AudreyKennedy25 all the very best as she moves on from @SedgwickMuseum to exciting new adventures. You've been an invaluable member of our #MovingAMountain collections migration team, and played a key role in our Rock Pride Flag project. Thank you! π³οΈβππ
Some of our drawers need an extra bit of TLCβ¦ here Audrey is cleaning some of our collections before theyβre moved to their new home!

Happy #NonBinaryPeoplesDay
Here's the #NonBinary flag our #MovingAMountain team created from rocks in the collections and some information about non-binary gender indentities πͺ¨ππ€ππ€
#NonBinaryDay #InternationalNonBinaryDay
Our next pride flag is Non-binary!
Non-binary refers to people whose gender identity doesn't exclusively fall into the gender binary of "man" or "woman".
See https://t.co/4AruPXF0Nn for more!

With Jupiter being near the moon soon, can someone with a telescope tell us how good a match this rock is for Jupiter? Because we think the resemblance is uncanny!

This Lewisian gneiss from NW Scotland is one of the oldest rocks in the UK. It was collected by petrologist Alfred Harker.
We are currently moving our rock collection to our new Research Centre - Follow us and search #MovingAMountain for updates
