November babies: topaz is one of your birthstones. Weighing ~600 lbs (272 kg), this tremendous topaz is one of the largest single crystals of topaz in any museum in the world! It's just one example of how large crystals in pegmatites can grow.

Slickensides are shear planes that develop under the pressure of swelling in the subsoil of soils rich in montmorillonite clays. Wonderful examples here 👇🏻

@WorldSoilMuseum It seems to me that the stratification planes are no longer visible, so no Fluvic material stricto sensu. So this pedon must key out before the Fluvisols in the @WRB2022 , however the parent material is certainly alluvium 😉

This video illustrates the "levante" phenomenon on the Rock of Gibraltar. The "levante" is an east wind carrying moisture from the Mediterranean. When it encounters the rock's steep terrain, it rises, cools, and condenses, creating clouds, mist, and fog.

Introducing our #SoilMonoliths focused on #SoilErosion in our #SoilProfileCollection! Only 30 cm of soil is left on the eroded slope, fertile topsoil settled in the valley. This stark contrast shows how centuries of farming shaped these #soils!
