Here are several posts from the geoscience blogosphere last week highlighting some interesting writing: Chris Rowan from Highly Allochthonous explains new results from the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) project that were published in Geology this month.

New Accretionary Wedge (#25) is Up!
The 25th edition of the Accretionary Wedge is up at Highly Allochthonous, and there are as many entries as I've ever seen for one of these.

Accretionary Wedge Geo-Images: Gold with Naumannite
This month's Accretionary Wedge is being hosted by the two co-bloggers at Highly Allochthonous, and it's a geo-image bonanza! This rock is from a quartz vein in northern Nevada. Native gold (more properly electrum, a natural alloy of gold and silver) and the dark blue silver mineral naumannite are set in a matrix of clay-rich quartz. Show More Summary
Accretionary Wedge - Geo-Image
The current (May 2010) edition of the geoblogging carnival, The Accretionary Wedge, is held at Highly Allochthonous and the theme is geo-images. I am early out as I don’t expect to post much the rest of this month for various reasons.

Tweets for the Week
It's becoming popular to blog links tweeted on Twitter; here are mine for the past week.

With now 100 blog posts under my belt now I’m picking up on an idea from Chris Rowan at Highly Allochthonous who recently tweeted that he had geotagged his blog posts.
