Note to self.
Do not set brain on glass near a volcano.

And about 2000 years later, the same vitrification process was found in the brain of Joe Biden.

He had a great skull,because it didn’t explode like they do often do when super heated to 800F.

Is that covered by insurance? I don’t know if my PPO covers a glazier.

[dfwgator]

Now that’s getting ‘baked’!

"...heated to 520* C / 968* F. and quickly cooled..."

I am sure it was a pretty quick way to go, all things considered.

That’s so scientific. Gotta love those third world educated folks. ;D

Adam Schiff’s brain?

God punished Pompeii with the eruption. Pompeii was so hedinous it would make Amsterdam red light district look like Sesame Street.

[Inyo-Mono]

Hopefully, he died quickly.

Bull Sh-—t.

To turn to glass the brain would have to have much silicon in it. It does not. It is possible that silicon dioxide could have replaced the brain tissue over thousands of years if the burnt corpse was in a layer of ash that had moisture running through it. This is a common occurrence in fossilization. Volcanic ash is mostly silicon dioxide. It becomes soluble and can replace bones and tissue. It is a normal process.

That brain did not become glass or silicon dioxide by heat. It became such by mineral replacement of the remaining tissue of which I suspect was little.

[Carthego delenda est]

I hate it when that happens!

[wastedyears]

Someone say glass and vitrify?

[lurk]

Dude was a hot head.

[mewzilla]

Maybe these eggheads are thinking more along the lines of cremation diamonds rather than glass... Cuz the cremains would be carbon rather than silica unless silica from volcanic ash contaminated the cremains?

eruption melted victim's brain to glass

This happened to millions of American liberals in November of 2016.

[minnesota_bound]

The volcano did not help the rest of him either.
Hmm... maybe this is an alien as he has a crystal skull?
