Geology Word of the Week: S is for Speleothem
Before I started a geology blog, I used to sporadically blog about geology over at Skepchick. These days, I blog here at Georneys about geology, and I blog over at Skepchick about other skeptical and scientific things, such as how to spend your final days before an apocalypse. Occasionally, I will re-post some of my old geology posts from Skepchick. I will also sometimes cross-post on both blogs. The post below originally appeared on Skepchick in 2009 here. I have modified and added to the original Skepchick post.
def. Speleothem:
