Here's the first, from Dana. All captions are mine, and flames should be directed here, not at the source. The next is from Evelyn at Georneys, and her cat Samira:
And here's another of Evelyn's kittehs, Zanya (I'm assuming with Samira again):
I had a heck of a time recalling/tracking down that term, myrmekitic. I have forgotten way, way too much of my petrology classes, which were the most demanding, time consuming, enjoyable and rewarding of all my undergrad work. Here's the site that finally reminded me (230K pdf, see page 13); as soon as I saw it, I knew "myrmekitic" was the texture I was after. Here's the Google image search for comparison. Take a gander at those pics and tell me those aren't myrmekittehs.
I'll try to remember to get some photos of Bif with miscellaneous geology this evening. Also too, I see no particular reason this meme should be limited to teh kittehs. Other GeoLolCats will be added as I find them:
- Callan's take on Dana's kitteh
- Callan's Caption for an older cat photo by Dave Bressan
- Another photo, with and without caption, of Samira, from Evelyn
- Photos of my cat Bif (His GeoLolCat pics are below.)
- Callan LOL's LOLa.
- Jessica Ball at Magma Cum Laude LOL's her cats, Sabrina and Ginger.
Above and below, my young cat, Bif.
And in case your wondering how Bif got his name...
...when he came into my life 3 months ago, the striping on his coat reminded me of finely laminated sediments. Adjust toward red, and the conclusion is inescapable.
My Samira is *such* a pretty cat :-).
ReplyDeleteGreat GeoLOLcats.
