Comments on: Geology in the Movies - Coarse-grained villain http://clasticdetritus.com/2008/03/23/geology-in-the-movies-coarse-grained-villain/ This is the weblog of Brian Romans. I am a sedimentary geologist and write about my own research interests, Earth science and society, and other randomness.

(Nooot that I am behind in my movie watching or anything...) And I saw the original <i>Superman</i> for the first time in, like, ten years at least last year. I'd completely forgotten the plot, including the SAF part. When it got to that part, I nearly fell out of my chair. Gotta love those Carrizo-Plain-caving-in special effects!

A villian should, perhaps, be poorly sorted, and his particles should maybe be subangular to angular, not having been subject to enough time or the right energy domains to develop the good sorting characteristics and well-roundedness associated with the best beaches - but who knows? Two posts on sand in one day. Yay! I have a special affinity for sand, and think it’s great that you thought of this sandy villian.
