  1. Mono Lake Tufas

    Description: It's odd to think this geologically interesting area of California used to be a research facility ran by the US Navy.

    Now the area is a California State Natural Area, set aside to protect the unique tufas that like the South shore of

  2. …Fones Cliffs sits on the north side of the #Rappahannock River & is geologically unique because of its distinctive white diatomaceous earth—formed from fossilized remains of aquatic organisms from 5 million years ago when a shallow sea covered much of the area, acc/to Julia King, chair of the anthropology department at St. Mary’s College. #Wildlife experts said it’s a rare spot because its #wetlands are largely untouched & serve as an ideal habitat for bald eagles, fish & other animals.

  4. The Valle Vidal is a 100,000-acre mountain basin in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Geologically, there are two halves:
    sedimentary sandstone, grassy valleys, and coal resources on the east side (Raton Basin edge), and steeper, uplifted volcanic and metamorphic terrain, with a history of gold mining on the west side.

  10. So yeah, I'm pretty sure the #RockyMountains are more geologically stable than #YuccaMountain or #WIPP in #NewMexico. And with #ClimateChange trashing coastlines, it's probably NOT a good idea to keep storing used #NuclearFuel next to the plants (which are usually situated near water sources). However, we should only use #NuclearPower to get us through until #renewables and #BatteryStorage becomes efficient and non-toxic -- and NOT poison the future for garbled recipes or greedy CEOs (any more than we already have)!

  15. NASA's Juno Mission Spots Two Jovian Moons - 11/29/2021

    Non-Random Space Fact: Io is currently the most geologically active place in our solar system. It's volcanoes can sometimes be seen with large Earth-based telescopes.

  16. Excavation at a development site in Lynnwood, WA shows stratigraphy from the recent past, geologically speaking. An over 3,000 foot thick ice sheet covered the area that melted away 12,000 years ago. The lower dark gray layer is till, a mix of clay, silt, sand, gravel, etc. that was smeared and packed under the ice sheet as it advanced. Very dense. Above that is some clay/silt sand/gravel, not as dense, may be weathered till or outwash. The contact is abrupt. #geology #Pleistocene #glacier

  17. Ectasian (Geological periods 🌍)

    The Ectasian Period is the second geologic period in the Mesoproterozoic Era and lasted from 1400 Mya to 1200 Mya. Instead of being based on stratigraphy, these dates are defined chronometrically. Geologically the name refers to the continued expansion of platform covers during this period. In the early Ectasian period, a day was 17 hours and 32 min...

  23. New paper!
    We know a lot about export patterns from #euphotic carbonate platforms. But very little about these patterns in #mesophotic ones (which, geologically, they were very common).
    I aim to fill that gap with new data from the western Indian Ocean.
