Handcarved Dog Collars

This weekend only I'm offering handcarved leather dog collars at a discount for the holidays. Get your best friend something they'll love for christmas. All collars are treated with neatsfoot oil or mink oil to protect against water. I have a limited number of materials so first come first serve.

Send me your dog's neck size (remember two fingers should be able to comfortably fit under the collar), dog's name, and color preference. Email me at timothyjsherry@upsection.com for more details.

Feel free to leave questions in the comments section. I'll answer them here.

Friday Rocks #37: Porphyroclastic Ultramylonite

In a mylonite weaker minerals deform though crystalplastic processes and form a "toothpaste" texture. Stronger minerals will try to resist the deformation, but may break and stretch along with the weaker minerals. As the weak minerals recrystallize, they will flow around the remnant stronger minerals.

It's a great article, go check it out. This article reminded me of a time in the 4th grade. Our class was learning about dinosaurs. I was talking with a friend about how dinosaurs were millions of years old. He replied with "but the Earth is only 6,000 years old." I can't remember exactly what my response was, but I do remember giving him a quizzical look. Being in elementary school, we weren't given a proof of how we know the age of the Earth. I accepted it on faith that the teacher was telling the truth, and probably on the fact that dinosaurs and rocks are really old and really COOL (thanks, Dad and ,uhh, probably Bill Nye, too). Hmm, now that I think about it, I...
