Monday Geology Picture: A Student Field Map
Posted by Evelyn Mervine
One thing I loved about learning geology back in college was coloring. Yes, coloring… or colouring, for my South African and European friends. Most of the rough geologic maps I made for assignments back in college were made using colored pencils, such as the group map shown in this week’s Monday Geology Picture above. This map was made by a small group of students during a quick (3 or 4 day, if I remember correctly) mapping project in Montana. I won’t vouch for the map’s accuracy, but the coloring sure is pretty!
Here’s a link to the Geological map I had to do at the end of a 10 day field trip in Hook Head, Co Wexford, Ireland. First attempt on a solo map.

I am currently spending the Summer doing Fieldwork for my Final Year Dissertation in Connemara, Co Galway, Ireland. Hopefully that map will turn out much better!
