  2. East Greenland #22 is a finely laminated buff yellow cherty carbonate mudstone (dolostone). This sample was taken from the unit that directly overlies the Storeelv formation glacial deposits. The sharpness of the contact between the Storeelv glacial succession and the overlying cap carbonate implies a rapid transition ...

  3. Fine-grained carbonate laminite from the Rhastoff Formation carbonates overlying Sturtian sediments in Namibia. Sample's longest dimension is 9.7 cm. This sample is from the Snowball Earth Educational Rock Sample Suite, and comes courtesy of Paul Hoffman, Harvard University; Eugene Domack, Hamilton College; and T...

  4. A fine-grained carbonate laminite from above the Ghuab glacial formation. It is interpreted as a marine cap carbonate suggestive of rapid enviromental change. Sample is 8.4 cm long. This sample is from the Snowball Earth Educational Rock Sample Suite, and comes courtesy of Paul Hoffman, Harvard University; Eugene...

  6. Stratified carbonate mud with debris flow deposits and ice-rafted debris from the upper member of the Ghaub Formation in Namibia. Sample is 9 cm across at its widest point. This sample is from the Snowball Earth Educational Rock Sample Suite, and comes courtesy of Paul Hoffman, Harvard University; Eugene Domack, ...

  7. The Sir James Pit was operated for the mining of siderite, an iron carbonate ore. The siderite ore was originally deposited on the seafloor ~2.75 Ga as the result of seafloor hydrothermal venting in the Archean oceans. The dark outcrop seen here at the lip of the pit is thought to represent the primary vent from whic...

  8. GigaPan Interrupted - This one had some problems. This is the highest resolution GigaPan I attempted on the trip. It consists of over 620 pics and required both battery changes and memory card changes. There must have been some user error during the interruptions that lead to the results seen here. If anyone can dia...
