#3. Re “I wonder what they said when they saw the tsunami approaching”.
I know. It was “Let’s rename this place Schitt’s Creek”.
(There is a funny TV/cable comedy by that name).
However, I see an Ichthyasaurous and Mosasaur in the large photo, plus what looks like a smaller fish, etc. This is a fantastic fine. It will define what happened about 66 million years ago, plus show that there were Tektites created from objects that crashed into the earth, not only the ones we have categorized as coming from the Moon and/or Mars. I have one of the Thai black tektites but it is oblong, not spherical.
Amazing that we can hold things in our hands millions, hundreds of millions or billions of years old, be they from space or the early formation of the earth. Nature is marvelous. We need to enjoin it’s show more.
Great post :)
Ridiculous number of years.
And we are “extending” the life span from the low 70s to the low 80s :)
Relatively speaking, that’s a lot.
Against a billion years, not so much :)
