Friday fold: two samples from Tennessee Tech
I spent some time in east central Tennessee last week, visiting the Earth Sciences department at Tennesee Technical University in their lovely newly-remodeled home on the main campus quad. In a hallway display case, they had many beautiful specimens on display to educate and inspire. Here are two lovely examples of folding. Terrific rocks to take us into a terrific weekend. Have a good one!
