Uh yeah its a lopolith, or argument could be made for a phacolith because those are just super cool. And yeah I'll put it up, but knowing how technologically inept I am, I'll send you the link too.elephantower wrote:Noooooo! xD Ok fine I see, it's a lopolith. I guess I wouldn't have much future as a petroleum engineer ("well, we drilled where you told us to, and we hit something large and black and hard--I don't think it's oil"). I still think it could be an oil deposit though:
And yes, I'd love the Wright State invitational, but why not put it on the exchange?
My sense of humor is a little warped around 11:30 PM so my posts are lacking any comedy (probably a good thing or else I might start putting geology puns into my questions)As an edit to my answer to number 3, would pillow lava and columnar jointing count? Or am I still missing something?elephantower wrote:Ohh I forgot to give you comments on your answers:
1. TBH I don't know the answer either, I was hoping you could help.
2. Good job for connecting it to cryptoexplosions, your edited definition of geobleme (that is, pressure/volcanism) and your astrobleme definition are both right.
3. Yeah, I mean igneous sub structures (like the sedimentary structures you gave), not intrusions.
4. Give the reason that that property of thixotropic clay is applicable to this event (what does it cause?).
There is a great set of youtube videos that I learned from. Here is the first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBJndEjCINw go to this lady's channel and look at the rest.nomynameisnotkevin wrote:Can anyone give an overview of what you do for Stereonets?

I know Pupitre posted. But I recommend checking the wiki btw. In addition, post on the topic for the event. This is the question marathon where I see elephant and Pupitre have added quite a number of questions XD.nomynameisnotkevin wrote:Can anyone give an overview of what you do for Stereonets?

Give a name for each labeled intrusion (for eroded features, give the name of the intrusion exposed) [img]http://s27.postimg.org/elqihq8tv/Screenshot_2014_05_06_at_2_28_33_PM.png[/img]
What are those arrows referring to? Do they signify that two intrusions are the same or something? Otherwise, I have a few answers and I'll edit this as I get more.elephantower wrote:Quite a number indeed. Care to join us, syo? Seriously, though, I need you to take a look at the fault one I posted (calculating heave, throw, etc). Neither of us can figure out how to do it...
And yes, that's what I was looking for, pupitre. Nice job.
Last question of the night for me:
