In my world there is a focus on challenging evidence of life in dire environmental locations--particularly on the most ancient Earth. Let's change the narrative! Life is destiny and show me where life can't take hold. Then we can push our framework.

Successful thin-section through a Jurassic brachiopod showing preserved "crura" or arms surrounded by radiating crystals of calcite. We use these successive slice to map the anatomy and define extinct species. See comparison to published image.

Earthquake tsunami? With large coastal earthquakes, the two variables to check are depth and "moment tensor." Shallow earthquakes are scary for tsunami (~10 km depth). But the type of rupture is seen in the moment tensor. This one is clearly strike-slip so no vertical movement. No large risk.

We're discussing the concept for DAWN OF THE CRETACEOUS NATIONAL FOSSIL BEDS — a proposed national fossil park in eastern Utah (modeled after John Day National Fossil Beds in Oregon) to protect & preserve important Cedar Mountain Fm paleontological localities. Link to the stream in the post below!
