On Geo Pizza! Night, we provide blank doughs, red sauce, pesto, cheeses and assorted other toppings and challenge the students to create geology-themed pizzas. Geo-themed desserts are also highly encouraged.
Geo Pizza 2012 was attended by about 45 people. Pizza creations included: a Metamorphic Facies Diagram Pizza, Copahue Volcano Pizza, Mega Meaty Metamorphic Monstrosity Pizza, Silica Tetrahedron Pizza, Ductile Flow Pizza, BIF Pizza, Snowball Earth Pizza, Migmatite Pizza, Oxidation of the Atmosphere Pizza, Not Martin Pizza (?), Rapakivi Granite Pizza, Soil Horizon Pizza, and a Cross-section of the Earth’s Surface Pizza. For geo-themed desserts we were treated to: Worms & Dirt, Marble Cheesecake, BXA Cake, Trilobite Cookies, Asteromphalus spp. and Actinocyclus actinochilus, Earth Strata Cake, and “Nothing says yum quite like a banded iron formation.”
