Hi folks. What's on your mind? I'm here every day—you'll find that this is very much a "live" site. The earth sciences cover a wide range and a wide range of expertise. I'm comfortable with all of it, but remember that some readers may need and appreciate a few words of background.

Slow threads may disappear after a few weeks, but I'm a firm believer in long-term memory and won't let valuable input disappear. Spam and gratuitous off-topic postings, I'll delete promptly and without apology. On the other hand, I will not play Nice Police, so feel free to speak frankly and respectfully by your own lights.

If you want an identification for your specimen, it helps to show photographs, taken as close as possible and in good light. Describe where it came from plus any other detail you like.

F.A.Q.

  1. Q. Do I have to register to use the forum?
    A. You can enter as a guest and read posts, but you must register before you can post or answer a post that's already there. Registering is quick, simple, and free. About.com will not put you on a mailing list or sell your name.
  2. Q. Are there any types of posts that are prohibited here?
    A. We will delete any spam or commercial posts. Please do not post to sell something or involve anyone in a money-making proposition. Flames or rude / insensitive remarks will be removed. Users who are disruptive may be gagged at the Guide's discretion.
  3. Q. May I promote my product or Web site here?
    A. As with most places on the Internet, you may make your URL part of your "signature" by typing it under your name at the end of your posts, but please do not place commercial posts on the forum. They will be considered spam and be deleted.
