Author's Note: Well, it's been a while, hasn't it? Not quite as long as last time, but still! I like to think I'm improving! Sorry for the long wait, I'm trying to get an internship with either a museum or a mining company over the summer so I can put it on my resume and get into grad school. Plus I'm moving back in with my parents until I finally get an internship, so that should be fun. Anyway, if any of y'all know about geology internships, be sure to let me know! Networking is everything! I have lab experience with handling delicate dinosaur bones and using care while excavating them in the field. I also have experience mapping and taking samples and measurements in the field! Hire me!

Rolling in the Deep 1: Right Isn't Correct, Knight

Jimmy felt super betrayed that everyone thought the ghost attack was his fault, so he got mad and hulked out and attacked everybody. All the teachers and students together weren't enough to stop him so Sandy had to fix the portal because she knew someone who could withstand Hulk!Jimmy's attacks: Spongebob! So they used the portal to go to Bikini Bottom and recruit Spongebob to stop Hulk!Jimmy, but the villain kids reveal that they're the ones who sabotaged the portal, and mess it up again so that the portal takes them to Gravity Falls right after the end of Not What He Seems. Major Monogram watches the whole fiasco play out and decides to send Agent P to take care of it. Unsurprisingly, a single platypus isn't enough to stop the villain kids AND Hulk!Jimmy AND bring them back from Gravity Falls, so Perry asks Dr. Doofenshmirtz and all the UZZ agents to help him. All of them working together with the Mystery Shack crew and the Author manages to bring everyone back to the original universe, but the villain kids are still running loose and Hulk!Jimmy is more ticked off than ever. Then the TARDIS shows up and the 11th Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to fix Jimmy and the portal, and they manage to round up all the villain kids. Except, GASP! Manny was actually working with the villain kids the whole time and he tries to use the TARDIS, but of course he's just a dumb 13 year old and has no idea how to work the thing and he ends up in Ninjago at the beginning of the series and takes Kai's place, which is weird because Manny doesn't even have fire powers or a sister. Manny learns the error of his ways and travels back to his own universe, has a tearful reunion with his father apologizing for betraying everyone, and they all live happily ever after.

Oceanic lithosphere is fromed at midocean ridges and appears to consist from top to bottom of a layer of pillow basalt, sheeted dikes, gabbro (intrusive basalt), ultramafic cumulates, and tectonized ultramafic rock. Midocean ridge lavas are overwhelmingly basaltic and tholeiitic. They are typically made up of olivine, plagioclase, and clinopyroxene. They also have low oxygen fugacity. Mid ocean ridge basalts are strongly depleted in incompatible elements and have high Neodynium isotope ratios and low Strontium isotope ratios. Mid ocean ridge basalts form from decompression melting of ultramafic rock in the mantle beneath the divergent plate boundary. Most mid ocean ridge basalts are differentiated, affected by fractionation of olivine, plagioclase, and clinopyroxen. Magma mixing is common, and follows tholeiitic trends. Mid ocean ridge basalts are derived from the mantle and are relatively depleted in incompatible trace elements due to billions of years of the continental crust being enriched in said incompatibles.

The phylum Arthropoda includes a large diversity of organisms (insects, lobsters, spiders, trilobites, etc) that poses an external, segmented skeleton and jointed appendages. At the present time, arthropods sit atop three adaptive peaks defined by the number of tagma (body segments) and specialization of appendages. During the Paleozoic, trilobites with three body segments, antennae, and biramous appendages defined a fourth, very successful peak. Before that, during the Cambrian, other adaptive peaks were tested and abandoned. These bold experimenters comprise the world-famous Burgess Shale Fauna. In most arthropods, the skeleton is chitinous (a proteinaceous material). In some, the exocuticle (middle layer of the shell) is impregnated with mineral matter, either calcium carbonate (ostracods) or calcium phosphate (trilobites). Arthropods are abundant and active on modern sea floors. Such activity in the past is responsible for a large part of the trace fossil record. (Geology 480: Invertebrate Paleontology.

Happy April Fool's day my friends. An actual new chapter should be coming out in the next month or so. Now I've set a deadline for myself, so it'll have to happen!

Also, I hope you enjoyed a quick glance into my Geology degree.
