SUMMARY:How Ancient Iron-Rich Rocks Tell the Story of Past Oceans
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our March presentation! \nTitle: How ancient iron-rich rocks tell the story of past oceans \nSummary: Minnsota’s iron-rich rocks preserve geochemical information about what seawater was like billions of years ago. To interpret this record however\, we must peel back the layers of time by reading mineral reactions that occurred after the rock formed. High-spatial resolution geochemical tools allow us to measure the elemental and isotopic composition of single mineral phases\, while preserving textural relationships. Preservation of cross-cutting relationships\, micro-banding\, grain size\, shape\, and cement volumes allow us to build a geochemical history of each sample\, where we can separate out secondary changes to reveal primary compositions. Because these iron-rich rocks originally form through precipitation from seawater\, their primary composition informs our interpretation of how oceans evolved over time\, and what that might mean for early life. \nBio: Dr. Latisha Brengman is an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth and runs the Precambrian processes lab there. Brengman and her research team work to solve Precambrian problems at the intersection of sedimentary and hydrothermal processes\, using tools that span the macro- to micro-scale. The team’s main research projects focus on deciphering the record after sedimentary rocks form in order to assess the preservation potential of primary geochemical signatures that link to ancient ocean chemistry. They specialize in high spatial resolution tools and methodologies that focus on sample preservation. For more information about her projects visit her research website: http://www.latishabrengman.com/ \nTopic: How Ancient Iron Rich Rocks Tell the Story of Past Oceans\nTime: Mar 13\, 2021 06:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umn.zoom.us/j/94004921775?pwd=RytuME5KcDhWdllrNzluTWNLbG1QUT09\nMeeting ID: 940 0492 1775\nPasscode: Qei978 \nOne tap mobile\n+16513728299\,\,94004921775#\,\,\,\,*980057# US (Minnesota)\nDial by your location\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota)\nMeeting ID: 940 0492 1775\nPasscode: 980057

SUMMARY:MMC April Presentation - Exploring and Expanding the Minnesota Fossil Record
DESCRIPTION:Join us for MMC’s Virtual Presentation! \nTitle:  Exploring and Expanding the Minnesota Fossil Record \nSummary:  Minnesota’s fossils date back more than two billion years\, with a rich and complex history. Within that time\, ecosystems of three main geologic periods are very well represented within the state. From the shallow ocean waters teeming with life 450 million years ago to the coastal waters of the Age of the Dinosaurs to the frozen landscape of the Last Ice Age\, this fossil record documents major transitions in life and climate. Join for an exploration of what can be found here and the current work of the Science Museum of Minnesota to expand our knowledge of ancient life in Minnesota. \nBio:  Dr. Hastings’ research focuses primarily on the evolution of extinct reptiles but varies widely from dinosaurs to mammoths to tiny oysters. He received his PhD from the University of Florida\, worked at Georgia Southern University\, did a research fellowship at Martin Luther University in Halle\, Germany\, was the Assistant Curator of Paleontology at the Virginia Museum of Natural History and has been the Fitzpatrick Chair of Paleontology at the Science Museum of Minnesota since 2018. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umn.zoom.us/j/95382350805?pwd=ak4xR3ZWazlWT1JnU2UzVnE5Q1lIQT09 \nMeeting ID: 953 8235 0805\nPasscode: d7rJXF\nOne tap mobile\n+16513728299\,\,95382350805#\,\,\,\,*824383# US (Minnesota) \nDial by your location\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota) \nMeeting ID: 953 8235 0805\nPasscode: 824383\nFind your local number: https://umn.zoom.us/u/acOD24AI0G

SUMMARY:MMC May Presentation - Lake Superior Agate Origins\, Classification and Prospecting with Jim Magnuson
DESCRIPTION:Lake Superior Agate Origins\, Classification and Prospecting\nThis is a three-part presentation focused on Lake Superior Agates. Part one provides a high-level summary of the geological events that led to the formation of agates\, a bit of agate chemistry\, and the glacial activities that led to the broad distribution of Lake Superior Agates. Part two takes the audience on an inside and up-close tour of the incredible diversity of agate types and some possible formation theories. This second part of the presentation is accompanied by colorful and detailed photographs of multiple specimens for each type of agate. Part three will instruct the audience on how to hunt for and identify Lake Superior Agates and the many imposters that one might confuse with agates because of corresponding colors or features. The third part of the presentation provides critical tips for prospecting and photographs of rough agates and agate imposters. You could give a lifetime to hunting for and studying our amazing Lake Superior Agates; there is important research and discovery still waiting to be done! \n\nPart 1 – Agate geology\, chemistry\, formation and glacial activity/ impacts – 11 mins\nPart 2 – Exploration of the diverse family of Lake Superior Agate Types and related Formation Theories – 21 mins\nPart 3 – Lake Superior Agate Prospecting\, Hunting and Identification – 34 mins\n\nJim Magnuson Biography\nRock hounding is more than a hobby for author Jim Magnuson\, it’s a serious and rewarding avocation that\nhelps him connect with nature. He has been an avid hunter and student of various gems\, minerals and fossils\nsince his childhood\, when he first began to hunt for stones in his native state of Illinois. These experiences\ntaught Jim the importance of persistence and willingness to follow the road less traveled for more unique or\nrare kinds of rocks. Jim also enjoys sharing his passion through researching and writing both creatively\, and\nfrom a practically oriented process orientation. Because of Jim’s in-depth knowledge\, he is frequently called\nupon to present to groups such as rock and mineral clubs\, geological societies and educational institutions that\nfocus on outdoor and environmental interests. In addition to Jim’s passion for prospecting and hunting he also\nlikes to perform various lapidary arts with the stones that he finds\, and he has a small business of making and\nselling custom polished stones and jewelry pieces. Finally\, Jim enjoys creating photographic illustrations that\nare up close and personal for prospecting\, hunting and lapidary work. Jim was a photographer for his high\nschool and college newspapers and yearbooks where he focused on student activities that created\nperspectives on campus life. This experience has helped Jim capture unique and compelling photographic\nimages for modern day gem and mineral prospecting. \nJim has authored seven books with worldwide sales of over 70\,000 copies; the list of publications is below: \n\nThe Storied Agate– A light-hearted photographic expose with stunning natural photographic images of\nLake Superior Agates and stories about the hunting experience\nThe Fairburn Agate of the Black Hills– A light-hearted photographic expose with stunning natural\nphotographic images of Fairburn Agates and stories about the hunting experience\nAgate Hunting Made Easy– A practical “how to” guide for novices and experienced Lake Superior Agate\nHunters\, spanning multiple hunting domains and providing photographic illustration of natural agate and\n“imposter” specimens\nLake Superior Agates and Imposters– A condensed field guide for novices and experienced Lake Superior\nAgate Hunters providing photographic illustration of natural agate and “imposter” specimens (companion\npublication to Agate Hunting Made Easy)\nEmma’s First Agate– An illustrated children’s book that tells the story of a young girl and her passion for\nrocks and agates\, and how her grandfather guides her towards realizing her dream of finding a beautiful\nagate\nGemstone Tumbling\, Cutting\, Drilling and Cabochon Making– A practical “how to” guide for novice\nlapidary artists with many visuals that illustrate process details\, and helpful charts for equipment selection\nand process details\nRockhounding and Prospecting – Midwest (coming in Summer 2021)- Beginners guide to prospecting for and collecting gems and minerals including gold\, copper\, geodes\, agates\, thomsonite\, fluorescent sodalite and more. This is a groundbreaking book that provides a visually oriented guide to modern day tools\, methods and hunting locales that will lead to success. The information is informed by experienced and passionate field experts in each of the different types of rocks\, minerals and fossils that we cover in this book.\n\nhttps://umn.zoom.us/j/97491128994?pwd=azRTN1ErRjNGcEd6dmx6azhremdKUT09\nMeeting ID: 974 9112 8994\nPasscode: rx3taa\nOne tap mobile\n+16513728299\,\,97491128994#\,\,\,\,*874361# US (Minnesota) \nDial by your location\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota)\nMeeting ID: 974 9112 8994\nPasscode: rx3taa
