Pyrite Framboids-Fall Semester

Hello again,
It's been a busy semester so far and I apologize for the delay in posts, but I'm here now to make up for it now.

Well the poster symposium on Sept. 9th in Sheldon hall went well and many curious enthusiastic spectators read and asked a variety of intuitive questions.

As for my Devonian extinction research (framboids) we are currently waiting for the new on-campus SEM to be installed, it arrives tomorrow! In the meanwhile I'll be exploring a new framboid collection methodology, which will hopefully make collection times substantially quicker for this methodology. However, there are many things yet be learned, so cross fingers.

Once the SEM is installed this new method will be tested. If it is unfruitful we will still pursue more research in the Devonian shales, possibly with a microstratigraphic study.

Wish me luck!
More updates to come -CJ
