Daily Field Notes #172

"Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it." ~A. Einstein

How nice that you made it to this Daily Field Note! It is already the 172th edition where we put great posts from the last day(s) in the spotlight. This way you can easily find articles worth reading and authors get more of the exposure they deserve.

Geopolis is a community that promotes and connects people who are interested in fields of "global" sciences. These are the sciences that deal with planet earth and the interesting interactions taking place on it. Although just as fascinating, they do not always fit in the categories of "STEM". Here at Geopolis they are the corner stone of the community.

How to get your post in this selection? You do not have to be a member for your post to get featured in the Daily Field Notes. Just write your post with the #geopolis tag, or one of the other featured tags: #Geography - #Geology - #Ecology - #Archeology - #Anthropology - #History

Geology: Friday Rock | #2

Original post by Hive account@nelinoeva

Minerals from Spain My contribution to the fridaysrock by nat-expressions. I found this mineral kit in Barcelona and it was a nice present for my son to add to his collection. Last week I started the series for #fridaysrock with the first piece my son got. For some time he has collected different stones and minerals. Now I am left with his treasures at home. Photographing is not the only challenge. I realized that even if I can see the names written next to them I know nothing about them and it is worth to research and learn something more. But I do not want to post something boring What I would like to do next, is to show you a closer look of that kit and where these 12 pieces came from.

First of all we gonna learn about the whole initiative and project that discovered this shipwreck and then we gonna dive in and learn more about the ship.
