H/T Richard F. Ott
“The Chiribiquete are table top mountains located deep in the Colombian Amazon and host many rare endemic species. Helanlin Xiang's work shows that the Chiribiquete Mountains likely upifted before the Early Miocene and could have acted as a long-lived stepping stone, connecting species in the Andes with the Guyana Shield…”

[For almost 300 years – from 1709 to 2004 – Penicuik and district was producing high-quality paper which went out all over the world; Walter Scott’s Waverley novels and Robert Louis Stevenson’s notebooks were printed on Penicuik paper, and Turner painted on it too.]

Desert varnish (Deserts 🏜️)

Desert varnish or rock varnish is an orange-yellow to black coating found on exposed rock surfaces in arid environments. Desert varnish is approximately one micrometer thick and exhibits nanometer-scale layering. Rock rust and desert patina are other terms which are also used for the condition, but less often.
