This beautiful colour plate shows rock formations on the East Devon coast caused by landslips between December 1839 & February 1840. Corn grew on the rocks that had fallen from the fields above, attracting fascinated visitors.

It's Trilobite Tuesday! The Devonian trilobites that emerge from outcrops aligning Bolivia's sky-high Altiplano plateau, like this Belenopyge, rank among the most difficult-to-obtain trilobites in the world—mostly because they're located more than 11,500 ft (3,505 m) up in the Andes Mountains.

68” of rain in one day? Whoaaa.
The Vietnamese Bach Ma Mountain Peak station recorded one-day rainfall of 1,739 mm - close to the global one-day record and perhaps a new record for the northern hemisphere. It is part of a deluge Viet Nam has seen in October, shattering 35 precip records. e.vnexpress.net/news/news/en...
Vietnam sees 35 rainfall records broken in October - VnExpress International
Vietnam's northern and central regions saw a total of 35 rain records broken in October alone as two storms, Matmo and Fengshen, caused unprecedented downpours.
