Hello rock enthusiasts! If you missed it, Episode 1 is out now. We introduce ourselves and our favorite rocks and minerals. Here's a picture of Ellen's personal collection. Find us on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Spotify. #podcast #sedmydearpod #geology #minerals #rocks

One of Ellen's favorite minerals is pyrite AKA fool's gold! Pyrite is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS₂. Swipe to see a picture of pyrite next to a pure sulfur mineral. #sedmydearpod #minerals #pyrite #sulfur

Jane's favorite! Goethite is used as an iron ore and as a pigment in art. King Midas's father's body was wrapped in a shroud dyed golden from geothite, leading researchers to believe the origin of the "Midas Golden Touch" myth was from goethite! #mineral #geology #sedmydearpod

Jane's favorite rock is travertine! Travertine is formed from carbonates precipitating from heated ground water (commonly found at hot springs). The orange on the top is rust. The Coliseum in Rome, Italy is built mostly from travertine! #rocks #geology #travertine #sedmydearpod

This is Devil's Tower, a butte in Wyoming. Devil's Tower is composed of pholite porphyry into columnar jointing. Geologists do not know it's exact origin, but some speculate its related to volcanism. Learn more about volcanoes on Episode 3 of #sedmydearpod #geology #podcast

Mt. Fuji (富士山) is located about 100 km southwest of Tokyo, Japan, and can be seen from Tokyo! It is an active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707-1708. To learn more about volcanoes, listen to Episode 3 of our podcast. #sedmydearpod #geology #volcano #podcast #mtfuji

Episode 6 is out today! This episode we talk about deformation and earthquakes. Here is a visual guide we mention for how pressure effects rock deformation. Credits for this image on our website for sedimentarymydear.com. #sedmydearpod #geology #podcast #deformation #earthquake

This is a picture of an ancient Chinese seismograph. We talk about it in Episode 6 of #sedmydearpod which is about earthquakes. Image from Earth: An Introduction to Physical Geology by Tarbuck and Lutgens. #geology #earthscience #podcast #earthquake #seismograph

This is Dumbo, a granite "elephant" approximately 27 feet tall, 35 feet long, and 17 feet wide. Taken at Elephant Rocks State Park in Missouri. To learn about Dumbo and the other "elephants" at this park, listen to Episode 7 of #sedmydearpod #geology #podcast #elephantrocks
