Seismic Shorts
Description: Discover the untamed power of nature with this striking Vintage Volcano Eruption badge. Celebrating the fictional Department of Bangaranga, this beautifully distressed circular emblem captures a dramatic mountain landscape under the stars. Perfect for wanderers who love bold geological wonders and vintage styling.
Description: Doodlebugger is the common term for seismic field personnel in the petroleum industry, though their talents are certainly utilized far beyond just the oil fields. Doodlebuggers are the guys who seek out oil, natural gas, and other precious commodities by exciting the ground with everything from explosives and drop weights, to pieces of specialized heavy equipment called *cough* vibrators. They work in the most extreme climates, and in some of the most dangerous and untamed land, long before any extraction operations can be put into place. This design comes to us from Houston's Herb J. Hawthorne Company in promotion of their Blue Demon drill bits from 1951.
Description: Geology meets brutalist design. Each stratum is delineated by crisp vector hatching – never relying on opacity tricks. The core texture uses a strict 25 LPI halftone screen, guaranteeing the white underbase stays hidden. A perfect statement for science and structure enthusiasts.
Description: This diagram illustrates the structure of the earth, focusing on the lithosphere (the crust and upper mantle) by showcasing the life of an oceanic slab. Oceanic crust is produced from basaltic magmas at the divergent plate boundary of the Mid-Ocean Ridge (left) and are transported along the conveyer belt of seafloor spreading to a subduction zone, where the dense slab of mafic crust subducts under the relatively buoyant continent! At the point of contact between the two tectonic plates an accretionary wedge is formed alongside an oceanic trench. As the slab descends into the mantle it is metamorphosed and dehydrated, producing magma and creating the serpentinized mantle wedge. Rising magmas generate volcanism and can lead to the establis...
