Sometimes you want to find some cool clay, but end up with this amorphous junk. Pity, just glass!
So, you are wondering, what the heck is this curvy graph? Or if you were me, you'd say, what is an XRD pattern doing on a stupid blog? If you think this is dumb, just wait until you see some hairy illite, or snotty-looking smectite, or blocky kaolinite, or some other thing that tweaks a clay mineralogist's fancy.
Well, my eggs are done, so it's off to breakfast. Maybe I could greasy my potatoe gun's barrell with some bentonite and get more distance...
awesome blog dad :-) love the music too!
