Damn KT that is truly amazing, great discovery! I have a minor in Geology, cool stuff! Thanks for sharing and wow! Very very cool.
Cool interview and discovery! It is awesome that your are getting recognition by being immortalized for your efforts!
Royal congratulations Mike, I mean KT. Well deserved, I’m sure.
Well heck, I'm a retired soft rock kinda guy. When I get in over my head w/ mineral IDs I know who to bug!
I'm more drawn to the shoulder pain advertisement ! KT will live forever in the name... Have you found diamonds at the crater there ? I tried once with no luck. But 2 people found very small ones.
Royal congrats! The royal crown is envisioned in the article.
Happy for you !!!
KT congrats on a fantastic honor. I would imagine that in your profession having a mineral named after you would be akin to winning an Oscar for an actor, or being a Nobel Laureate. Very impressive.
I see your truck mounted drill rig, is it a Joy 1500? I spent 10 years around that rig and a CME truck mounted rig in my first 12 years with the Geo Survey. Some of it was fun but it was a lot of hard work...good work for a young man, but not an old geezer like me now! and yep, just send me pm if you need help and I will give you my email address and instructions for pictures! Still enjoy doing long distance mineral identification.
Very cool KT, congrats!
Actually, I didn't have a truck mounted drill rig in mind as the avatar, I was thinking more about the junkman and that image seemed appropriate. I was finding lots of that stuff (still do!). Spent plenty of time around drill rigs of all sizes, though, on the Colorado Plateau and West Texas.
Very cool honor !! Congratulations KT
What a great honor! Very cool!
Congrats KT! Very cool!
