I've been asked a few times over the last few days what I think the chances are that the "leopard spots and poppy seeds" on Mars will turn out to be actual evidence of life. People are naturally skeptical given the history of possible signs of life on other planets. Strap in: long thread ahead...

Beautiful day at the rugged badlands, where quartenary erosion exposed the variable terrain across Western North Dakota.

Fun time at AAPG IMAGE 2025. Time definitely have changed just in a short term, where it’s reflected of varied sessions, pivoting away from sustainable resource that surged a couple years ago.

The I-94 crossing North Dakota might be one of the most monotonous highways you’ll ever drive—a straight, almost empty stretch of land for 300 miles.

However, as you go westward into the state, you’ll be welcomed with beautiful, colorful rugged terrain showing transformation during Cenozoic era.
