The B-C granite tour

Erik together with two of his colleagues Thomas Zack and Peter Keleman, and two BSc students from the University of Gothenburg went on a B and C granite excursion in the glorious weather this past Tuesday. They first went to a locality at Lindome and then afterwards to Korshamnsberget. The two students, Johan and Simon are working on dating rocks from B and C granite series using U-Pb in zircons. Peter Keleman is the main supervisor, and Thomas Zack and Erik Sturkell are co-supervisors. They appear to have had a fantastic day in the field, starting with coffee and planning the fieldwork at the Gao Sushi Café.
