I didn't like the previous crop which showed the train well, but not the beautiful location with the Burton Dassett Hills in the distance, a prominent landmark among flat terrain with an old beacon tower on the summit; this takes its place.

Aggregating Anemones. Somehow my past Anemone photos have focused on the Giant Green Anemones (maybe because they were, y'know, giant.) I have never before googled a species of critter and found a reputable looking site that talks about them and uses the phrase "clone wars." There's a story here. www.pugetsound.edu/academics/academic-resources/slater-mu...

The UK aggregates industry has been transformed beyond recognition over the last quarter century, with traditional colour schemes being swept away by a sea of corporate white. The Redhill Tile Company was established in 1919 as a manufacturer of concrete tiles and later expanded its interests across a broad range of building products. Lafarge acquired the business in 1997 and later divested the roofing division, which continues to trade under the Redland brand. This fictional Foden Alpha carries the logo of the original Redland company on its cab door. The low-height tipper body is unusual, at least in the UK; the source image is of a New Zealand-registered vehicle kindly provided by TRUCKFLICKS (29-Dec-14).

The card alongside this exhibit described the item as delicate needles with apophyllite on basalt. Natrolite is a tectosilicate mineral species belonging to the zeolite group. It is a hydrated sodium and aluminium silicate with the formula Na2Al2Si3O10 • 2H2O. For me, the delicacy of all those hair-like crystals is amazing.
It was named natrolite by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1803, derived from natron, the Greek word for soda, in reference to the sodium content and lithos, meaning stone. Needle stone or needle-zeolite are other informal names, alluding to the common acicular habit of the crystals, which are often very slender and are aggregated in divergent tufts as above.
Klaproth is an interesting character. A German chemist of the 18th-19th centuries, he discovered uranium (1789), zirconium (1789), and cerium (1803), and named titanium (1795) and tellurium (1798)! Busy guy...
Natrolite can come in a variety colours: white, colourless, red, yellow, brown, green or bluish. Apophyllite is a group of phyllosilicates and like natrolite is typically found associated with basalt.
Seen under glass in the Minerals section of the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London, the item's long axis is about 15cm. The card describes it as coming from Neubauerberg, Bohemia. However, Google and Google Earth don't recognise that. Further digging on more specialised websites lead you to a hill called Neubauer Berg bei Mückenhan. It's an old German name for what is today known as Puchavec hill, near to the village of Provodin in the Czech Republic's Ceská Lipa district.
Can anyone describe how such a delicate-appearing item might be extracted from the surrounding rock in days gone by without destroying it? I would think my old hammer and chisel method might ruin it long before it was removable, but were other methods available?
Close-up view of a small sample of dark green, asbestos mine tailing ("3/4-inch" stone) utilized as asphalt aggregate collected from a restaurant parking lot in the town of Thetford Mines, Quebec, Canada.
The sample measures approx. 2-cm along its longest side and shows two narrow "micro-veins" of fibrous chrysotile traversing across the sample. Each mini-chrysotile seam measures approx. 1-mm in width.
This stone appeared typical of the asphalt aggregate at the parking lot "collection site". The whole stone was recovered intact due to damaged, crumbly conditions on an edge portion of the asphalt (from natural weathering, physical impact, age degradation, etc.)

This rock is in Solite Quarry's Pit B on the Virginia-North Carolina state line. It's an aggregate quarry that has operated since the 1950s. Good fossils occur at this site - the original finds were on the Virginia side of the border, while the best fossils are on the North Carolina side. The aggregate plant's physical address is in Virginia. The currently active pits are in North Carolina.
The rocks here are tilted, northwest-dipping sedimentary rocks of the Cow Branch Formation (Upper Triassic). The unit is part of the Newark Supergroup, a thick, geographically-widespread stratigraphic unit in eastern America. It is Late Triassic to Early Jurassic in age and represents sediments and some lava flows that filled up old rift valleys roughly paralleling the modern-day Eastern Seaboard of America. The rift basins formed in the Triassic when the ancient Pangaea supercontinent attempted to break apart, but failed. A successful breakup of Pangaea occurred during the Jurassic. Most of the basin-filling rocks are terrestrial redbeds - hematite-rich siliciclastic sedimentary rocks, such as conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale, deposited in nonmarine environments.
Using Triassic rift basin terminology, this area is in the Danville Basin / Dan River Basin. Cow Branch beds at the Solite Quarry are principally lacustrine in origin - Lake Danville occupied this area during the Triassic. About 270 meters worth of mostly fine-grained siliciclastics are exposed here. Reported lithologies include claystone, silty claystone, dolomitic claystone, carbonaceous siltstone, sandstone, and carbonaceous dolostone.
The succession has cyclicity ("Van Houten Cycles") - ten or more cycles are exposed in the wall of pit B. Each cycle is a transgressive succession of lake sediments. The cyclicity is interpreted as the result of Milankovitch-related climate forcing. Changes in climate and sedimentation can be caused by slight changes in Earth's orbital parameters - e.g., eccentricity (how circular Earth's orbit is around the Sun), obliquity (the angle of Earth's axial tilt), and precession (the direction that Earth's axis points).
A lagerstätte occurs in these beds - a soft-bodied fossil deposit - a fossil occurrence with exceptional preservation. The fossils are principally insects and vertebrates, particularly Tanytrachelos, an aquatic reptile (they're nicknamed "Tanees" in the field). Tanytrachelos with fossil skin impressions are known from here. The long-necked gliding reptile Mecistotrachelos aperos has also been found. Other fossils at the site include conchostracans, a spider, fish, and plants.
Early interpretations concluded that the exceptionally preserved fossils were in a deep-water lacustrine facies. More recent studies have shown it was likely a shallow-water, toxic lacustrine facies.
Thousands of fossil insects from the Solite Quarry have been collected by the Virginia Museum of Natural History. Fifteen to twenty species from six insect orders are present in the lagerstätte horizon and the total insect diversity may be over twice this. Reported insects include thrips, cockroaches, waterbugs, crane flies, etc.
