Friday Photo (56): Photos from Industry – Copper Deposits in Fault Zones

Rosalie Tostevin November 9, 2012 Industry, Photos Comments Closed

The deposits on the surface of this sandstone are a distinctive shade of green – indicative of copper. Copper is mobilised and concentrated along fault zones.

If you have any photos from time spent working in industry, that do not breach company copyright regulations, then please get in touch and we will publish them on our blog!

Geology for Global Development (GfGD) is a UK-based organisation, founded by Joel Gill, working to support young geologists to make an effective contribution to international development. Through this blog we’ll be sharing articles, discussions, photographs and news about our work - all relating to the application of geology to the fight against global poverty. Many of the blogs we publish are written by guest authors, allowing young geoscientists from around the world to have their say. Do get in touch if you’d like to contribute.
