Mother sea otter with rare twin baby pups, in Morro Bay, California. Photo by my friend Mike Baird. This might be my favorite of the many of his photos in use here at Wikipedia & Commons. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_Mike_Baird for another 425 or so. Nice guy, too.
Fast otter, faster shutter, Kenai Fjords. Love that water!

Bits about me, mostly old

Joined the Wikipedia project in June 2006. My, how time flies.

After some unpleasant experiences here, mostly to do with the hyper-politicized Climate Change articles at Wikipedia, I am less active here than formerly. Too bad, since I actually know something about that topic.

I review books for print and online publications. Most of my reviews are now at Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/8101737-peter-tillman I'm a retired mineral exploration geologist, formerly based in Arizona and New Mexico, now living on the Central Coast of California. Served in the USNR, sometime after Adm. Farragut. Older than dirt.

Other interests/(semi?)-expertise:

  • Science fiction
  • SW US history and prehistory
  • Northern Mexico history and prehistory
  • Ethnographic art
  • Paleoclimates in the geologic record, and implications for modern climate change

  • Here's this list with the newest article first. Takes a while to load....
  • I'm also an active contributor of photos and other images at Commons. See here for details.

Substantial contributions to:

Gold dredge in the Klondike River, 1915.
  • This list is (pretty much) updated to 13 September 2009. It was getting too tedious to keep up with it, so I'm not updating it anymore.

Geology, mining, climate change

Break time underground, ca. 1900
"Picturesque camp made by a lone geologist on the cinders of Inferno," June 1921. Craters of the Moon National Monument, Idaho
Lava Falls, Uinkaret volcanics
Unusual halite crystals
Tafoni at Salt Point, Sonoma Coast, California
Travertine, Thermopolis, Wyoming
Trestle, Central Pacific Railroad, c.1869 by Carleton Watkins.
Control panel, Critical Mass Laboratory, 1970
  • Ongoing Image Project: I'm going through the voluminous Robert Lavinsky mineral photo donation, and adding photos to appropriate articles. It's a big job -- but lots of pretty pictures. See User:Tillman/Favorite minerals for some samples. Pretty much done as of the end of 2021.
