The latest Accretionary Wedge, the acclaimed gathering of the Geoblogosphere, is hosted this time by geologist Evelyn Mervine at her ?Georneys? and she is asking if you ?do see geology in unexpected places??
Here a bit a macabre approach to this question ? a gravestone for a geologist ? as seen in an old newspaper (published in 1856), the inscription reads:
?He was searching for rocks an entire life
Never to be satisfied
Now he got one big Stone
That will do in the End ?
