Interbedding (Petrology 💎)
In geology, interbedding occurs when beds of a particular lithology lie between or alternate with beds of a different lithology. For example, sedimentary rocks may be interbedded if there were sea level variations in their sedimentary depositional environment. Intercalation is a special case of interbedding where a layer is variably inserted into an already existing s...

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…”

Conceptualizing River Floodplains

"PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: River floodplains are integrative ecosystems in which diverse processes operate together to maintain river health. Floodplains are as critical to river health as the channel itself, yet floodplains lack the legal protections afforded to river channels in many countries.
KEY POINTS
• A river floodplain is an integrative physical, chemical, biological system and a key component of a river corridor
• Contemporary societal perceptions and regulatory frameworks do not reflect this scientific consensus...”

Lens (geology) (Petrology 💎)
In geology, a lens or lentil is a body of ore or rock that is thick in the middle and thin at the edges, resembling a convex lens in cross-section. To thin out in all directions is to "lens out", also known as "lensing". The adjectives "lenticular" and "lentiform" are used to describe lens-like formations. Lenticle is a synonym for lentil, but may also refer to a fragment of rock that...
