"During the megadrought, Lake Malawi was algae-filled and pea-soup green, much like modern-day Lake Turkana,"

or kinda like the pool at the Cedar Point Ramada...

...the team extracted a series of cores, some as much as 1247 feet (380 meters) long, representing hundreds of thousands of years of African history.

Now that is a core!

And from the article it sounds like they have a lot of the core still remaining to study.

Sorry about the double post. I posted, and got the message “Temporarily unavailable,” so I waited and tried again.
