Wow. I leave the thread for the evening and @Cypress and @Dutch Uncle kept on bitchign about me for what appears to be several more posts.
Get a life, dudes. Seriously.

Hey, @Cypress : when you were out collecting mudstones, how did you identify them if you are not a geologist?
Just curious.
Did someone give you a picture and send you out in the field? You know that isn't how it works. So if you weren't a geologist (or playing the role of one at the time) how did you identify mudstones?
(I already asked how you would differentiate mudstones from siltstones and you avoided that question, so....)

I actually asked a question related to the science being discussed and this is what Dutch Cankles thinks is an educated response.
Tell the class how you would differentiate those two lithologies in the field? Oh wait, you don't know. You are only on here to troll.

FINALLY you know where I"m at. That makes you feel good because you are what the authorities call a "stalker".
I have never told you what my education and professional background are.
I did briefly tell Perry PhD three years ago when he asked me
Identifying fine-grained strata in the field is something any idiot can be trained to do in short order, especially when my PhD friend is out there in the field supervising everyone.
The undergraduate liberal arts chick with us had no problem identifying and sampling fine-grained strata with our help and supervision.
Perry, you can go as a volunteer on archeological digs, and do grunt field work under the supervision of an archeologist. Something you could try after the facility discharges you

Nor do I care. You were acting in the role of geologist. You CLAIMED you were collecting mudstones which means you can IDENTIFY them (or it would if you had actually done this thing).
And yet you can't even tell us. It's simple, really. Grit it between your front teeth. Clays (phyllosilicates) are platey and will slide between your teeth smoothly. Silt will grit.
Undergrad geologists know this.
LOL. LOLOLOLOL
Yet you couldn't tell the class.
Funny, that.

Can I just marvel at how you always gild the lily? You can't just use words that someone who actually DID the work would use. No, you are identifying "fine grained strata" in the field. Oopsy, silt is considered fine grained as well, Cletus.
My question was one that someone who ACTUALLY WAS OUT IN THE FIELD collecting mudstones would understand immediately. Yet you didn't.
You went straight to "fission track" research for basin thermal history. May as well have suggested the use of Stanford Linear Accelerator. A real person out in the field collecting for this type of topic would understand. I've read plenty of articles on basin thermal maturity and I can tell you that fission track is NOT the first stopping point.
There's a reason you were looking for MUDSTONES, Cletus. Mudstones will contain a fuckton of clays which will contain a fuckton of organic materials. Included in some of those are Type III organics which includes things like vitrinites which are about as old-hat a means of assessing thermal maturity for an oil play as anything else.
Did your "boss" at the time ever show you a Van Krevelen plot? Maybe? Just in passing?
You weren't collecting mudstones for a fission track analysis. You were collecting mudstones for something far, far, far more mundane.
He's under mental duress, which is obvious from the fact that I told a tiny little vignette about my life to my buddy Dutch, and Daylight63 became massively and uncontrollably obsessed with it, lol

Oooh....look who's been busy Googling about geology! Kudos, Perry. Your mommy would be so proud.
Foiled again, dammit!
I've asked Cypress 30 questions, and each time he answers I have to come up with a new one!
ftfyClaims to work in the construction industry, but comes on message boards to debate the finer points of sedimentary grain size analysis
What is this, ask Cypress 64 thousand questions day, and see if something sticks? lol
Perry, in the field beggars can't be choosers. Outcrop exposure is fair to poor, and sometimes we had to sample silty mudstones or muddy siltstones if that's all we could find.
Perry, perhaps you could inform the forum why you are massively obsessed with a little vignette I told my friend, about a month I spent in South America 35 years ago, lol
Oooh....look who's been busy Googling about geology! Kudos, Perry. Your mommy would be so proud.
Is there anyone else in America who works in the construction industry, but comes to internet message boards to obsess about paleomagnetism and the finer points of mud and silt? lol

None that I know of, but Perry lies a lot and, IMO, is too sick to hold a job.

It's called having friends and actually PAYING ATTENTION. Also I actually READ BOOKS. ENTIRE books. Unlike you I don't mind reading more than a sentence or two.
And see that Cy can't answer ANY of them. For a man who claims all this great knowledge you sure do HIDE It when it is convenient.
YOU were the one who claimed you were in the Andes collecting rocks. I merely asked how you did it. The fact that you can't really explain anything about it is not my problem.
Good vamping. Too bad you couldn't tell me BEFORE I answered the question.
Because you said something that can be tested. I love testing data. I tested you and you failed. Now I know my hypothesis that Cy lacks any actual earth science education is true and that you lied about going to the Andes.
That's really all I wanted. Thanks for the confirmation!
I am obsessed with a little story Cypress told his friend about trip to South America 35 years ago!
Lord help me, my obsession with Cypress is all consuming and uncontrollable!

Interesting. So you are telling everyone you don't understand cement. Got it.
You know I CAN work in the construction industry in relation to cement and have a background that required knowing something about clays.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLO Cy doesn't even know where cement or concrete come from! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Yet he's read the Bhagavad Gita and can hold forth on Quantum Mechanics!
