Good day steemers!!!
Still at Igarra Edo state, Nigeria
So I got so tried yesterday and I couldn't make my post for today. So am combining Day 3 and Day 4 together.
So we started the day with mountain climbing again, visited a lot of outcrops, made observations, measured strike and dip direction, located positions on the map.
So here are some of the observations.
First I observed this rock (Granite) with a Quartz vein cutting through it.
measured vein and joint using the compass-clinometer
And I observed a Schist outcrop with a quartz pond init, which is due to high pressure indicating a strong fabric of rock which implies the rock is highly tectonized .
we visited a river channel and stop to tale the strike and dip direction, and also located ourselves on the map.
OK, here is a Quartzite deposits that has been mined, and left in a good shape
.
DAY 4
So today we made a diversion from Geology to Geophysics.
Do what we did today was mainly Geophysics, we cut out transverse along a major road, pegged stick at 5 meter each to make a straight line. We took GPS reading and plotted a scale of the area, and checked the distance between different stations.
We made use of a GPS, meter rule, sledge hammer, electrodes, pegges,
Tho today I was a little bit unhappy, we've been divided into various groups, so due to the low numbers of girls in my program I was the only female in my group.
Making the guys look down on me, and saw me useless for the work. So I was sort of isolated, but I actually got over that and used the power of a lady on them. Yes I forcefully took the hammer from them and made some pegs myself.
We we would be making our report today and submitting it too.
a lot of benefits of posting on steemit includes
And through steemit, I've been able to keep track of all our activities on the field cos I know I have an audience to feed here.
Also made me go back to my note and revise the days job. Thanks a lot to steemit.
Here is a cross-sectional picture
So 4 more days to go....
Tomorrow is another day, I remain my humble self
