Not sure if this link will take you there, but I have posted a photo of
a clump of pyrite crystals embedded in a siltstone matrix over in the
alt.binaries.photos group (titled "Pyrite in matrix" if the link below
doesn't work)

Hello friends
my name is yask and i am living in India and doing my geology
graduation, i am a new member of this e club. now i have some
questions.

MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif., April 7, 2006- Three members of a ski patrol were
killed when two plunged into a volcanic fissure at the Mammoth Mountain
resort and the third fell trying to rescue them, a resort official said.

I'm undergrad geophysics student from Indonesia. I need to acquire
these papers:
Kauahikaua et al, 1980. Mise-a-la-masse mapping of the HGP-A geothermal
reservoir, Hawaii. Geothemal Resources Council Transactions,vol.8.

Question - when an earthquake occurs, are we feeling the P wave, the S
wave and the surface wave? I know that seismologist use the P and S
wave to locate the epicenter but do we feel this?

Hi,there,
Can anyone help me find a reference on the formal definition of
"overburden pressure" besides the online resource (e.g. wikipeida)? I
tried several soil handbooks and petroleum handbooks but can't find it.

Well, I don't think they actually were taking my advice,
but they did get Miles O'Brien into the act, and it's
a hell of a lot better than what's his name was throwing

I am trying to figure out maximum height a given diameter base
can support, cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature.
Cannot find strain rate data for ice at very low temperatures and high
pressures, into the TPa range.

I am looking for information about Russian seismic studies on the
1950's, specifically about the seismic generator they used during that
time.

Ah, yes, it appears that another global (fill in the blank) has made the
scientific arena.  Particulates that seed the clouds and reflect the
sunlight back into space.  This has, according to the theory, offset the
effects of global warming, making the net temp rise almost zero ...
