Description: Pride in STEM! This Geoscience cross section has hard rock, soft rock, climate, and ocean science represented! Environmental sciences are inherently interconnected and it's important to recognize that collaboration, although I wish I had found a way to incorporate the field of biology into this.

Description: Distinguish yourself as an interdisciplinary geologist with this coat of arms, showcasing the classic rock hammer to represent field work, the test tube signifying the field of geochemistry with the ocean motif giving nod to our overlap with oceanography, as well as the seismogram from the 2001 Nisqually earthquake for all our geophysicists.
Description: This Ediacaran fossil is one of the oldest lifeforms on Earth, existing prior to the Cambrian explosion. Despite the similarity of their leaf-like segments to modern plants, these animals were likely filter feeders as they lived below the photic zone in ancient oceans. This is a stylistic rendering, the actual coloration of charnias are up for debate!
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...
Description: This cross-section shows the layers of the Earth looking at the materials of each layer, instead of looking at it as a heat map. The big difference here is the mantle, which is made of peridotite, a rock that is often bright green! Convection cells are drawn in to show the movement of material within the mantle, a process that occurs over incredibly long timescales. The outer and inner core are both made of iron and nickel alloys, while the inner core is solid and likely has Widmanstätten patterns, similar to those seen in meteorites. I made this diagram because I feel like a lot of people don’t know what the interior of this planet looks like.
Description: This is a depiction of the fossil hallucigenia, a Cambrian era ancestor of today’s velvet worms. Hallucigenia fossils were originally discovered in the Burgess Shale, a famous Cambrian-age fossil deposit in the Canadian Rockies. Paleontologists have been very confused about how to classify this lovely little worm as it was unclear whether it’s protective spikes were legs or it’s wobbly legs were tentacles!
