C. M. Lowery et al. (2026) discovered a quick #recovery of #marinelife after the #massextinction ~ 66 Ma ago. They calculated a new #calibration using the #biostratigraphic #marker (#Helium-3 from 6 K/Pg boundary sites) and dated the #duration until the recovery of the #foraminiferbiozone of 3.5 k.y. - 11.1 k.y. after the boundary, instead of former theses ∼30 k.y..

Oh cool : on a maintenant aussi un formateur de durée (#duration) dans l'objet d'internationalisation de #javascript :

Le formateur de date est disponible lui depuis de nombreuses années.

À noter aussi que l'élément html <time> accepte les durées :

En mêlant les deux on peut faire pas mal de trucs
