I fancy fossils, rocks, minerals, science, living in museums, RMS Titanic, scores, classical music, Doctor Who, and a lot of Dr. Alan Grant.

It really doesn’t get any better when you can just look at the beautiful deformations in geology. The photo above shows what is called ductile deformation, which is basically a gradual change where the rocks are morphing, folding, etc. This is all due to stress when the rocks have breached their elastic limit, and this now means it will be a permanent change for the rock.
