Accretionary Wedge #40: Hey, Pumpkin, You Rock!
Okay, yes, lame-ass post title. It’s all a cunning plan to get you to click away from here and go savor the spicy pumpkin goodness of the 40th Accretionary Wedge, in which geo-lanterns are on delightful display. See? We still do geology round here occasionally! More to come, I promise!

The Photo Not Taken
This month’s Accretionary Wedge is a tough one. When I go out to a geological locality these days, I tend to come away with about everything I could possibly ever need or want – until later, when during some research I find out there was more to the place than I suspected, and …

Accretionary Wedge #34: Last Call for Posts
Googling “weird geology” returns a photo of Callan Bentley. That’s just weird. Don’t forget to get your weird geology to me by Friday, the 27th. Getting left out would just be boring. Boring Volcanic Field. Which isn’t actually boring at all.

Bizarre. I’m sure you’ve all run into formations and landscapes and concepts that have left you scratching your head. Maybe they got less weird …

Accretionary Wedge #31 is up at The Geology P.A.G.E., and it’s a delight: As you can see by the title (Wait, What?) the topic for this month’s Accretionary Wedge (#31) is surprising geological knowledge.
