I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

Half a billion years ago, oceans didn’t breathe steadily,
they lurched between oxygen-rich and suffocating for over 100M years.
New research shows deep time holds a warning: once oxygen is lost,
it takes ages to return.
Our seas don’t have that time. 🌊

The Spanish province of Teruel has a rich fossil record, which includes remains from the Devonian period. Among these are early fish and marine invertebrates of many kinds that thrived in a tropical sea

A heavily exaggerated look
I've updated my Late Cretaceous (66MYA) equirectangular basemaps on my patreon store to now also include the 43K resolution variant. Previously only 20K was available.
These layers project perfectly onto a 3D sphere, and are made to emulate the NASA blue marble look of the Earth. #GIS #Sciart

A globe of the late Permian I made about a year ago, with a couple of patches.
A few shots of it (as well as my old Carboniferous globe) will be featured in a 6-part video series on the Late Paleozoic, the P-T extinction and such. To be continued
