BTW—your “amethyst” is fake, covered by an artificial dye, you can see where the dye pooled.

You can insist on Dr Google all you like, you said, based on no evidence whatever, against the evidence of the testamur of my degree, that I did not study geology and zoology. So talk geology and zoology, not Dr Google. Talk geology not crystallography.

A geologist on the field. He has aerial photos, overlapping aerial photos. What instrument does he use on those photos, what does that instrument let him do?

Any time you want to admit you know nothing about geology, zoology or science in general just speak up and I will explain.

Two more questions for the expert geologist Googler:

1. What are strike and dip?

2. Why does a geologist measure them?

3. What must a geologist ensure before measuring strike and dip?

I am not a geologist.

I know you didn't study geology because you couldn't
answer basic questions about Physics and Chemistry.

They are essential 1st year subjects for Geology.

Alfred Wegener propounded the Theory of Continental drift. He was able to “reassemble” the previous supercontinent by fitting together not the coastlines but the continental shelves of present day continents.

Support for his theory came not just from the fitting together of the continents but how landforms, environments etc carried across the continental boundaries.

His theory lacked a mechanism for moving continents around the globe. Work starting in 1906 and developed post WWII discovered polar reversals and ocean floor creation in the mid ocean ridges (Iceland is actually mid ocean ridge above sea level.) This provided the missing mechanism of continental drift.


Rounded boulders/outcroppings—these would be granite or similar, they weather by “exfoliation” almost. Square/rectangular suggests sandstone which has bedding along which weathering and erosion happen. Add some cracks from orogeny—moisture can seep along cracks/bedding causing parts of outcrops to fall off.


Overlapping aerial photos of course suggests use of a stereograph which lets you view in three dimensions. Our geologist can then mark geological features, like an outcropping over a ridge, first step in preparing geological maps.


What else. The copper orebody, rich because ground level and some depth below is the zone of secondary enrichment where groundwater concentrated certain copper–based minerals. Below that the proportion of copper drops off pretty sharply.


None of these questions are hard, tiny bit more than general knowledge. Dr Google couldn’t answer them.

Dr Google.

It does not give you an air of knowledge or intelligence you know. Good to expand on what I gave you but I doubt it goes deeper than copy and paste with you.

You should show direct quotes and give links to sources—likely only wiki but should acknowledge sources.

What I gave is what I studied including doing a lot of reading into Continental Drift while studying Geology I back in 1966 or 1967, just background stuff I remember.

I graduated from Marion High School, sadly no longer existing, with Leaving Honors, more than just matriculating with a Leaving Certificate after year 4. Leaving Honors was good, a real bridge to University study. We studied four subjects, Math I, Maths II, Physics and Chemistry. We had a free period I spent in the little Seniors library. Got good passes in all including one credit and one distinction—likely still have the certificate somewhere, not yet unpacked.

It was the last year of school so I asked my teacher, Jack Spratt—still talked about when graduates of Marion High meet—for a reference to get work etc. Don’t have it anymore but it mentioned I was of “Higher than average intelligence” so there! AHAHAHAHAHA!

That looks like bedwetter's brain LOL

In fact, Booby, you are the one who has tried to claim superiority and not just with the false claim of your education.

No, you sneeringly said something along the lines of “stick to talking about little dogs and I will cover the environment” or wtte.

Funny thing is, YOU are the one posting crap about little dogs and I cover the environment to some extent from my MRB. You then think lees actually rebuts my posts, showing you aren’t very bright.

No mate, you have made NO high quality posts.

You don’t post about the environment in your MRB. Post count there is anemic, post quality is in the toilet. Lack of education, lack of intelligence coupled with intellectual laziness will do that.

You have become deft at using google to try to cover up your lack of education, that is a trick not a quality post.

Your posts in the “Chinese Bioweapon” thread are the lowest of quality. No judgement in selecting what to post, obviously no thinking/reading just posting junk.

Someone with 6 years education would know more and would know to separate shit from clay, a skill you definitely lack.
