Famous quote from our structural geo lecturer 'Now guys, I want to see you dropping acid at every outcrop!'
Heheh, I was doing some fieldwork with one of my officemates once out in the Wairarapa and we BOTH had our heads out the window looking for a specific horizon, driving along chanting at each other 'mudstone, mudstone, gravels, mudstone, gravels, SHELLBED STOP STOP!' and we nearly came off on the gravel roads a few times ..
Ooh, shallow benthics. I love benthics, they come in the coolest shapes! We do a foram palaeoecology lab for our second years and it has both planktics (mostly globigerinids) and benthics, and I get to enthuse about my deep and abiding love of uvigerinids, it's great :D
