  • Every Rock Has a Story | David Marount, Mike Dormer, and John Blaine

    Every Rock Has a Story | David Marount, Mike Dormer, and John Blaine
    Jan 22 2026
    In this episode of Fossils by Firelight, host Noleen Pauls goes solo at the helm from the geologists’ holiday haven of Hermanus, guiding a rich and often hilarious conversation with David Marount, Mike Dormer, and John Blaine.

    From childhood fossil finds and career-defining mistakes to life in remote field camps, mentors who shaped generations, and the enduring magic of rocks in three dimensions, the discussion ranges across decades of geological experience.

    It’s a warm, story-driven reflection on geology as both a science and a way of life — where every rock has a story, and the people chasing them matter just as much as the discoveries themselves. GSSA Website · Facebook · LinkedIn · Instagram · YouTube

    Keeper of the Keys: Dr. Craig Smith on a Life in Geology
    Dec 15 2025
    In this episode of Fossils by Firelight, host Noleen Pauls sits down with Dr. Craig Smith — long-serving executive manager of the Geological Society of South Africa — at his home in Hout Bay as he reflects on a remarkable career that’s taken him from solitary months in the Wyoming field to laboratories, boardrooms, and what he jokingly calls being a professional “cross-dresser” between academia and industry. As Craig heads into retirement after nearly 16 years of guiding the GSSA, he shares stories, surprises, and insights into how the geosciences — and the Society — have transformed along the way.
