Curious about how accommodation can be rigorously defined and what a rigorous definition reveals? Check out www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... for some thoughts…

A quantitative definition of accommodation: Implications for understanding and prediction of strata

A rigorous quantitative definition of accommodation indicates less predictive power than typically assumed.

Spontaneous spectacular floor find in the Newfield Inn, Seathwaite, Cumbria U.K. A laminated layer-cake of loveliness from the nearby Ordovician Seathwaite Fell Sandstone Formation. Toeset for scale

You have to love a pebbly beach, but especially one with a great range of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks 😍

Six pebbles from Nefyn Beach, two igneous, two sedimentary and two metamorphic

A little bit of sheared and folded Neoproterozoic schist from Anglesey, Wales, a great place to understand how complex orogeny can be

Apparent cyclicity in strata, and the process of determining if it really is ordered-cyclical or just randomly repetitive, is one of my favourite things. This example is Pennsylvanian deltaic? strata at Amroth, South Wales, with logging Liverpool University students for scale

Because you cannot beat a good fold 😍 especially examples like this that show complex 3D geometry

Wall of the week; crinoids! And possibly stylolites dissolving them. Beautiful 😍

Interested in how autogenic processes can make an allogenic input signal indistinguishable in submarine fan strata? Details in a new open-access EPSL paper here authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
