Via NYTimes - Notes from the Field: Nigel Pitman writes about the life of a geologist:
Bob Stallard is the geologist on the expedition, and I’m just going to go ahead and say it: He looks an awful lot like Eric Clapton. Like Clapton, Bob has been doing great work for decades and is highly regarded in his field. But where Clapton tends toward songs like “Hellhound on My Trail,” Bob’s songbook runs more along the lines of, say, “Quartz Pebbles Probably Dating to a Miocene Deposition Event on My Trail.”
