Geology
Good morning. *glances over the class* I'm not sure what, if anything, happened this weekend but if any of your classmates has gone missing, please let me know. Coffee and snacks are near the back and please don't forget to sign the roll sheet.
In our study of geology, et the environment has had a controlling effect on the nature of rocks since Precambrian times. When we examine a rock, a number of characteristics tell us a great deal about the way the rock was formed, even if the rock is a million, a hundred million, or a billion years old. The texture of a rock and the boundaries between the grains of minerals contained in the rock give us key information about whether the rock is sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic. Other clues tell us much about the parent rock, or magma from which the rock was created.
In this exercise you will be asked to select a rock from your campus area and write a short geologic history in which the origin of the rock and the environment of origin is described and supported by evidence found in the rock itself. You will also be asked to observe the rock's present-day environment and make some speculations about what type of rocks will be found there ten million years from today.
Pair up, take a handout, and complete the lab. You have two hours and no, you may not go into town during this time. I will be watching.

oops! --wrong LJ account that time.
Alright, let's go.
[[ooc: I can't stay online right now to take this anywhere-- you can make up a rock/location for us and say we completed the assignment, or if you want to do an actual, enthusiastic hunt for a crazy rock or something I can do that tomorrow afternoon when I'm back at my comp.]]
Re: oops! --wrong LJ account that time.
Looks like a basic sedimentary one.
*turns in completed lab*

She removes them, glancing blearily around the room. She takes a handout, and settles into a chair, replacing her sunglasses, and waits for Draco.

"So playing with rocks today are we?" he says

"Evidently. Should we go look for some, or something?"

Feeling more alert after a quick gulp of coffee, he looks around for a partner.

He decides to approach one of the guys standing by himself. "You, uh, you need a partner?"

Hello. I'm called Thomasina. Would I be right in thinking you are in need of a partner?

I'd be pleased to work with you. Do you have any idea where we could find some good rocks?
