How is your day going? Today I have found the first record of #Argiope trifasciata from #Tuscany, close to where I live. This #spider likes arid environments and it is spreading north as the #climate warms. Closest observations to this one are from Corsica, Sardinia and Naples. 🕷️🦋 #nature

I have found a list of the characters. Takashi Yanase is the creator of 'Anpanman', a popular anime for kids. Yanase was born in Kochi and created a lot of characters for his beloved city. He also created the mascottes of the JR stations in Kochi prefecture.

The characters of the "disaster preparedness for the next Nankai earthquake" on the tosaden, the historic tram of Kochi.
On the left, "tsunamiman and jishinman", the villains of our story (jishin = earthquake in Japanese)

I am travelling and I am bored, so I'll post a random marble pic from my phone.

For #FridayFold I think you may like these refolded folds I just visited that are exposed in the Farma river valley close to Siena!

Weird rock. This is a sheared pegmatite from Elba.
It may look like a regular rock, but those plagioclase grains float in a groundmass of Li-mica (lepidolite) and there are many elbaite crystals around. I suspect the K-feldspar is what they call 'rubicline', A Rb-rich feldspar.

#FridayFold folded Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks (phyllites and metasandstones) along the eastern coast of Punta Bianca, La Spezia.
Those are second phase folds, you can see the earlier foliation parallel to bedding folded by these recumbent folds.

The recrystallized grains in a mylonite always give me a sense of peace. Don't ask me why.

Muscovite-out reaction, when mica is turned into a see of K-feldspars in between biotite grains. Cordierite and andalusite are also around.
