Could be a bit wet out there today and will definitely be windy on the ferry and beaches.

Within the 1984 edition of Streetcar to Subduction, Clyde writes that by taking transit (rather than driving) “you will save money, energy (both animate and inanimate), and mental anguish.” All so true, and for driving in SF the mental anguish is often acute.

And it was super cool to have expert Christie Rowe @KeepItRheol as an on the outcrop field guide through this Streetcar to Subduction video while looking at this mylonite!

And if serpentine minerals are your thing, check out this lovely antigorite (I think?)

These pillow basalts sure have seen their share of oxidizing fluids, but are lovely nonetheless.

And the rocks of Angel Island are fascinating. Here is a lovely slickenside within a serpentinite shear zone. California’s state rock!

If taking these virtually guid ed trips, I recommend honoring Clyde by getting there by transit! Find them here:

As part of its Centennial, AGU has taken what once was a print guide to the geology of the San Francisco Bay Area and turned it into a digital experience through Google Earth.

The Streetcar to Subduction Field Guide was the inspiration for a new set of @theAGU virtual field trips as introduced in this @AGU_Eos article:
