  1. The #MapMen, Jay Foreman and Mark Cooper-Jones, whose videos I stumbled upon many years ago in a decidedly non-algorithmic way, are always delightfully informative with keen details. Here is the most recent episode, “Where do hills come from?”, which I think #hill enthusiasts, #amateur and #professional #geologists, #map connoisseurs, and the curiously-minded of all ages will enjoy » youtu.be/6zq5XtyV3yg

  2. extinction did not fit in with the story of creation. During her lifetime she was barred from even attending meetings of the Geological Society of London (let alone applying for membership) because of her sex & many wealthy “paleontologists” published claims of discovery based on having purchased fossils from Anning & other fossil hunters (neglecting to mention Anning’s name or contribution). Nonetheless, many contemporary #geologists & #paleontologists became so impressed with 🧵2/

  3. The #geologists who claim that the Sahara was formed over a million years ago are simply ignorant. There are hundreds of wall carvings inside the desert showing human hunting and agricultural activities before the Sahara turned into a desert.

    There are also a lot of deep rain water marks on the surface of some well known pyramids clearly indicating that there was heavy rainfall even after the pyramids were built.

    What about the Atacama Desert? Check the Google map of the region! #deserts

  4. 🌍🚫 Oh no, the "rare" alignment of three norths is ending! Quick, panic-buy your #compass before they become obsolete for another millennium. #Geologists everywhere must be devastated that their nearly imperceptible grid party is over. 🤷‍♂️🎉

  5. #Geologists can anyone tell us about this stone? Is it metamorphic? What has caused the beautiful colours? Found in the bay of #kotor, #montenegro #adriatic

  6. The Famous Bering Land Bridge Was More Like a Swamp gizmodo.com/the-famous-bering-

    "#Geologists suggest that between 36,000 and 11,000 years ago, the #BeringLandBridge between modern-day #Siberia and #Alaska may have been less an arid steppe #grassland and more a boggy #ecosystem crisscrossed by rivers. This complicates #scientists’ understanding of the landmass and how its #landscape would have facilitated or impeded the spread of different species"

  7. Normal people: 😨 look at the destruction, the awesome power of water men cannot control.
    Geologists: Can we please start working on resilience to #ClimateChange? Please!
    Also, #geologists: This seems like a great opportunity to discuss imbrication and how cars act as weird particles in stream 👩‍🏫.

  8. #Geologists Uncover Mysterious Hidden #SubductionZone Beneath #Pacific, Offering A Glimpse into Earth's Ancient Interior
    This discovery reveals a hidden chapter of Earth’s history that reshapes our understanding of the planet’s inner workings. This hidden tectonic boundary, buried over 250 million years ago, challenges prevailing theories about Earth’s interior structure and offers insights into how the planet’s surface has evolved over millennia.

  10. @mattotcha There has to be a way of dating rocks, right? Like Carbon dating for organics, etc. Be nice if we could know approx when the alterations were made. Hello? #Geologists ?
