GSA Penrose field forum Samos
& Menderes In May 2010, I joined a Geological Society of
America Penrose Field Forum to the Greek island of Samos, and into the
Menderes Massif of western Turkey. The trip was organised by Uwe Ring, Klaus
Gessner, Talip Güngör and Olivier Vanderhaeghe. The excursion came in a good
time, as I was revising my papers on the Menderes, and the discussions with
the various people below were greatly appreciated. Below you will find a
picture impression of the trip. Click here to

Whitney, having
a pretty bad hairday (storm may have had something to do with it)
Me, carrying way too much luggage (yeah, yeah, and
hair. I know).
Nicely folded
chert veins in marble
Carpholite! Finally! After reading about that stuff
for 10 years! (more actually, I'm getting old...)
Samos, Day 1,
all still shaven and clean...
Someone is asking nasty questions...

Field planning.
Me, interrupting
the field planning with a flashing camera.
Some unfinished amphitheater in the hills. (Efes)
Pretty
spectacular normal fault scarp...
Geologists,
enjoying a scarp. An attempt to explain bypassing tourists what the hell we
were doing failed miserably.
Olivier as scale bar, holding a scale bar for the
scale bar. I think. And no, I have no clue why you would sample a fault
surface with a fault breccia for paleomagnetism. At all.
Olga, describing her hammer.
Stefan and Uwe,
discussion 1.

Uwe, enjoying the weather.
The most important thing you will learn in a 5 year MSc in Geology is why grown-up men can spend an hour on a rock doing what you see in this picture. There's no way of explaining this shortly.
