Geology jokes.

[Martin Loeffler]

Blame it on the silly season..

Two Geologists are walking across a granite outcrop one day. The first says
to the second "Hey, this terrain is unmetamorphosed". Replies the second
one, "No Schist".

Q: What do you call a can of pop found in a conglomerate?
A: Coca-Cola Clastic

People at parties will *not* get these jokes.

[T. Woelk]

Thats ok, because "Igneous is bliss"

Salut Helie, j'ai trouve une joke de geologie, je ne la comprend pas,
mais peut-etre que tu trouveras ca drole!

Let's not forget Sherlock Holmes:

Watson: Holmes! What kind of rock is this!

Holmes: Sedimentary, my dear Watson.

[Flint Smith]

Those are not gneiss jokes.

[John Murray]

>Yes, but at least we didn't take these "gneiss" jokes for "granite."

mm! No comment!

How about some slogans:

Geologists enjoy Nappes between thrusts!

In keeping with the spirit of layoffs and downsizing that permiate the oil
industry I might add: How many petroleum geologists does it take to screw
in a lightbulb?
Just one, but hundreds will apply for the job.
Mea culpa.

even _I_ know that much....)

From joh...@sierra.wr.usgs.gov (Johanna Fenton) Fri Dec 16 07:54 PST 1994:

During a heated discussion Opal screamed at Amber, telling her that not
only was she not a jewel but she wasn't even a mineral.

"Is that so," Amber snorted, stating flatly that Opal had no cleavage.

"Perhaps so," replied Opal, "but at least I'm not just organic ooze with
bugs - I'm pristine, white, and smooth."

"That's tuff," said Amber, secreting with rage.

To quote Jane Robinson's great hard rock song - "The Rock Rock"

Chorus -
Do the rock rock baby,
Do the rock rock,
Do the rock rock baby,
Do the rock rock,
Do the rock rock baby,
And you'll be - a red hot lava tonight!

This is of course sung to a heavy rock beat. Punded out with rock hammers
of course.

When I was a Paleontology student at Berkeley we once set up a table in the
student plaze (Sproul Plaza) to collect money.

Our slogan was:
"Help support the Laramide Revolution"
"Help them throw off the oppressive overburden of North America!'

Remember that this was the mid 1960's

We collected enough money for beer. Then we folded up our table before
the SDS figured out what we were up to.
