  2. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🎧🦕 Have you ever wondered what a #dinosaur actually sounded like? Filmmakers worked with over 50 scientific advisors to recreate these #prehistoric calls by studying airway structures and nearest living relatives.

    The collection features #audio for species like the #Stegosaurus and #Spinosaurus, moving away from #movie roars toward sounds grounded in #biology.

  4. The #prehistoric extinction of large #herbivorous #megafauna in Panama resulted in cascading ecological disruptions, specifically an increase in regional wildfires and a significant decline in plant species reliant on massive animals for seed dispersal.

  5. Redcar: Where Time Was Scoured Clean

    When Storm Chandra recently lashed the North East coast, it behaved like a blind cosmic spade, scraping away millions of tons of sand to uncover a bleak, barnacle-furred graveyard. This was no run-of-the-mill blow. It delivered a rare, once-in-a-decade “unsanding” that laid bare the black, broken teeth of a 6,000-year-o ...

    “In a recent study [(link above), the authors] identified more than 600 suspected house platforms in the Brusselstown Ring hillfort [Ireland], making it the largest nucleated settlement ever discovered in the entirety of prehistoric Britain and Ireland thus far. Subsequent test excavations revealed evidence of Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age occupation as well as a potential water cistern, which may be the very first of its kind in an Irish hillfort…”

  11. #Cyclades attract millions of tourists each year for holidays on islands like #Mykonos and Santorini. But recent studies have revealed that before the luxury villas took over the islands, the Cyclades have been home to humans in not only ancient #Greece but in #prehistoric times as well.

  12. Denisovans May Have Interbred With Mysterious Group of Ancient Humans 

    John Bavaro Fine Arts/Science Photo For only the second time, researchers have obtained the full genome of a Denisovan, a group of ancient humans who lived in Asia. The DNA was extracted from a single 200,000-year-old tooth found in a Siberian cave.The genome reveals that there were at least three populations of Denisovans, with different histories. It also shows that early Denisovans interbred with an unidentified group of ancient humans........Continue reading.... By: Michael […]

  15. #MonochromeMonday

    We have these amazing karst canyons all over the island & on several surrounding gulf islands. Large karst networks of caves & canyons are found in Cowichan Valley, Comox Valley & all through the less populated North Island. Karst sites on Quadra Island & some islands in the Discovery Islands archipelago are being researched. Haida Gwaii has big karst formations network.

    I find #geological #karst formations very fascinating. I enjoy exploring them when there's an opportunity to do so. I've found ancient old growth tree crystals in some of the karst formation forests here - they're magical, magnificent & hard to find if you're not looking hard in the right areas.
