woollypigs<p>So after masterfully avoiding the glorious Spanish mud yesterday, today I didn't. This snap is from just before it got worse. At least I didn't drop and there was long wet grass to run through to "wash" our legs afterwards.</p><p>I only thought of you <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.scot/@Wen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Wen</span></a></span> after I had washed down the mutt ;)</p><p>Today's RAAAD was the brilliant Danish band Gasolin there was some bad singing and a lot of air guitar ;)</p><p><a href="https://sudomakecake.com/tags/RunningWithDogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RunningWithDogs</span></a> <a href="https://sudomakecake.com/tags/TrailRunning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrailRunning</span></a> <a href="https://sudomakecake.com/tags/MudLarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MudLarking</span></a> <a href="https://sudomakecake.com/tags/Running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Running</span></a> <a href="https://sudomakecake.com/tags/RAAAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RAAAD</span></a> <a href="https://sudomakecake.com/tags/RunningWithMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RunningWithMusic</span></a> <a href="https://sudomakecake.com/tags/Gasolin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gasolin</span></a></p>

J. R. Carpenter<p>I love finding fossils on the Thames. here’s a chunk of Stigmaria, a plant root belonging to one of the colossal Carboniferous club mosses (which are not mosses at all: they are closer to true trees, but their leaves are attached directly to the stem, with no branches in between). this fossil would have been brought into the Thames with a shipment of coal from the north of England.<br><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/mudlarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mudlarking</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/fossil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fossil</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/fossilhunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fossilhunting</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/stigmaria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stigmaria</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/riverthames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>riverthames</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/london" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>london</span></a></p>
J. R.

This Is My Glasgow<p>An old clay pipe I found on one of my recent trips to the Clyde Estuary (top photo). Comparisons to one recovered from beside the Forth and Clyde Canal last year, which dates from the mid-1800s (lower photos), suggests it was made between 1720 and 1750, but I'm no expert on the subject.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/theclyde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theclyde</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/claypipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>claypipe</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/mudlarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mudlarking</span></a></p>

J. R. Carpenter<p>I rarely pick up ceramic but this tiny asterisk on a tiny piece of porcelain so perfectly echoes the internal structure of this single crinoid ossicle fossilised in cretaceous chalk. also pictured: hematite, malachite, garnets, lead shot, pins, and beads. <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/mudlarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mudlarking</span></a></p>

J. R.

J. R. Carpenter<p>found a beautiful bead of indeterminate age on the Thames foreshore this morning. in my determination to find another, I found two 17th-pipe bowls, a handful of lace aglets and Tudor dress pins, a gastropod fossilised in cretaceous flint, and a mesolithic flint core. <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/mudlarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mudlarking</span></a></p>
J. R. Carpenter<p>Tudor money box finial! small glazed earthenware containers were used by Elizabethan theatres to collect ticket earnings. full money boxes were taken to the box office to be broken open, destroying the pot in the process. this is where the term box office comes from. <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/mudlarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mudlarking</span></a></p>
J. R. Carpenter<p>found a mesolithic flint core on the Thames foreshore this morning. replete with flake scars, ripples, and bulbs of percussion. last held by a human approximately 10000 years ago or so. <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/mudlarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mudlarking</span></a></p>
J. R. Carpenter<p>green white-heart and red green-heart Hudson’s Bay Company trade beads. tiny, with a heavy history. on a handmade pin. copper alloy gleaming from the Thames mud. leaning on a non-native oyster shell. imported for food since Roman times. washing up on the tide ever since. and some massive garnets, relatively speaking. possibly brought into the Thames for industrial purposes. for use in polishing perhaps. they’re naturally faceted and very hard. other garnet theories are available. <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/mudlarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mudlarking</span></a></p>
J. R. Carpenter<p>the earliest known button, found in the Indus Valley, was made of shell about 5000 years ago. bone buttons were often made at home in the 17-18th centuries. this humble example, found on the Thames foreshore a few days ago, may have popped off a coat 200 years ago or more <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/mudlarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mudlarking</span></a></p>
