In a nutshell, fieldwrok, lab work, answering inquiries, and writing. Last summer my field work was geologic mapping in north central Montana next to the Rocky Mountain Front and some detailed work in the Rock Creek sapphire district in western Montana. I continue to work on the fascinating pusszle of the geologic history of sapphires in the large alluvial deposits of western Montana. Answers some slowly and puzzles abound. Aside from writing and preparing maps, winter work on the sapphire reserach consists of study of surface features, mineral inclusions, and adhering material. Inquiries include identification of would-be meteorites and a lot of other stuff.
