We are NOT all in the same 'Boat'. We are in the same 'Storm'. Some have yachts, some have canoes, and some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can!

Scientist accidentally stumbles across bizarre ancient ‘wrinkle structures’ in Morocco that shouldn't be there

Ancient fossil structures imprinted on rocks that were once deep beneath the ocean suggest the search for the first life on Earth needs to be broadened.

"How spectacular rock pinnacles got lost behind the scenes at Crater Lake National Park" by Oregon Public Broadcasting OPB (PBS Portland) - Unique pinnacle formations along the old stagecoach entrance to the east side of Oregon's Crater Lake National Park became famous a century ago. Then they fell into obscurity when paved roads for cars made different entrances on the north and south sides. https://www.opb.org/article/2026/02/05/oregon-crater-lake-pinnacles-field-guide/ #volcano #geology #history #Oregon #PNW

Excavation at a development site in Lynnwood, WA shows stratigraphy from the recent past, geologically speaking. An over 3,000 foot thick ice sheet covered the area that melted away 12,000 years ago. The lower dark gray layer is till, a mix of clay, silt, sand, gravel, etc. that was smeared and packed under the ice sheet as it advanced. Very dense. Above that is some clay/silt sand/gravel, not as dense, may be weathered till or outwash. The contact is abrupt. #geology #Pleistocene #glacier

We went up Mullaghmore in the Burren yesterday. I'll never tire of these extraordinary hills. The two visible ones are Knockanes (Cnocán, "little hill") and Slieve Roe (Sliabh Rua, "red mountain")
