jayLike a locker room in this building... humid, moist rock cores, drying in the hallway, 15 sweaty people working over warm instruments... phew.
I'm tired, my legs ache, and it's been 12 hours today (minus an hour for lunch) already. Two more hours to go... I've been lifting crates of rock cores:
bringing them in, doing magnetic susceptibility ,measurements, then taking panoramic images (camera on the right) and then selected microscopic images of the rock structure (larger camera on left).
I'm working a couple of feet away from those Roman amphorae... but they aren't contributing to the miasmic aroma.

Date: 2003-10-10 12:53 pm (UTC)I want to see what the inside of some of these mines is like!
Crates of bore samples! That is just really cool.
It would be neat to hang one of those crates on a wall.
And the idea of them having to dry is amusing. One doesn't think of rocks that way usually. But it makes sense. (Hey, it happens with wood!)
