Boscastle, Cornwall is home to some of the most spectacular folding and quartz veins I’ve seen. Every hillside you look there’s a new array of mangled rocks from the Variscan Orogeny!

Hi everyone, I'm Oluwaseye a geoscientist, with interest in sedimentary basin analysis. #BlackGeoscientists #BlackinGeoscienceWeek #BiGRollcall #DiversityinBiG

Elderberries from a local park and apples from my garden, now a delicious jam!

The damson tree in our back garden was bearing ripe fruit early-mid August rather than September. I picked our first apples in August too
This traditional cider orchard has been in my family since 1977. *We used to have apple picking in November *We had to move it to late October *Then mid october *Now late September. The apples are already ripe. Climate change is real, it's here & it's fucking with my apples

But the fossil I actually collected, from Saltwick Bay, was this gorgeous /Hildoceras/ ammonite. It's locally relevant too, being named for St Hilda of Whitby, an early mediaeval abbess who according to legend turned snakes to stone to form ammonites.

A good number of Jurassic fossils here from Robin Hood's Bay: some belemnites, ammonites and plenty of bivalves.

What would my life be without annoying my family by pointing out cross-bedding - here in a block of sandstone near Goathland (Aidensfield from the TV show Heartbeat)

I'm back off holiday so that means I get to share some #geology geology from wanderings in N Yorkshire! First up, check this cool folding in a block of gneiss used as sea defense near Whitby!

Mind boggling. There's a reason palaeontological consultants like myself exist... It's the one scenario in which involving me can help you AVOID public embarrassment.

This is probably the best bit of #macrophotography I will ever do, all due to luck. Bumblebees at the Alnwick Garden, Northumberland.

Third and maybe finally for now, the Farne islands sit on the Whin Sill but a probably more famous for their seabirds than their geology. We managed to catch the last few puffins for this year before they fly back out to sea!

Second, a pretty poor picture of a root in coal measures near Amble where we were staying. I think it was /Stigmaria/ but I'm no palaeobotanist! Also including pictures of cross-bedding from the same sequence.

Ah, Twitter - I certainly didn't miss you but you are at least useful for sharing pictures of geology I saw on my hols. So first from Northumbria is the contact between the Whin Sill and Carb sediments at Dunstanburgh Castle (plus a great many kittiwakes)

If you thought I had a joke about the Avalon Assemblage of Newfoundland, you’d be mistaken.
I have a joke about the Ediacaran biota, but I haven’t figured it out yet.

Attorneys for the Defendant in a matter we're pursuing just sent us a letter in Afrikaans 😂 Soon as I'm done translating this nonsense, I'm replying in IsiXhosa lol

Weird thing I noticed yesterday - a geological map of the Sudbury impact crater in Makoto Shinkai's "your name.". Had to pause the film to check I'd seen it right! #unexpected #geology
