Marine Geological Samples Laboratory- URI

Our mission is to ensure that geological samples are properly stored, described, preserved and available for use by global investigators.

Last week grad students and Assistant Curator Danielle Cares discovered this fossilized shark tooth in a sample of Mn nodules from @EVNautilus expedition NA141 to #JohnstonAtoll ! The tooth is believed to have belonged to the extinct megalodon🦈

New Cores! After some late Friday afternoon drama, Lynne and Dan from the RV Endeavor crew saved the day and got Puerto Rico Trench sediment cores safely cooling. #NSFfunded @URIGSO

Always find treasures in MGSL! These rock samples are from Dr. Jeff Fox's collection. Jeff was a professor in GSO and a chief scientist of the ODP. He led the first hydrothermal systems drilling in the Galapagos Islands, and hydrothermal history transects drilling in the Pacific.

An earthquake swarm with over 10,000 earthquakes in the past 7 days was detected in Iceland. Historical volcanic eruption records, seismic monitoring, and geodetic observations together may forecast a volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

An Earthquake swarm is underway in Iceland, with over 10.000 earthquakes detected in the past 7 days, hinting that the region could head for an eruption https://t.co/b11AuG0Vvq
