    “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…”

  3. Facies (Petrology 💎)

    In geology, a facies is a body of rock with distinctive characteristics. The characteristics can be any observable attribute of rocks and the changes that may occur in those attributes over a geographic area. A facies encompasses all the characteristics of a rock including its chemical, physical, and biological features that distinguish it from adjacent rock. The term "facies" was i...

  5. Dip-slip fault (Geology ⛰️)

    In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movements. Large faults within Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the largest forming the boundaries between the plates, such as the megathrust f...

  7. Chronozone (Geology terminology ⛰️)

    A chronozone or chron is a unit in chronostratigraphy, defined by events such as geomagnetic reversals, or based on the presence of specific fossils. According to the International Commission on Stratigraphy, the term "chronozone" refers to the rocks formed during a particular time period, while "chron" refers to that time period. ...

  11. Los caminos son como los ogros: tienen capas. Esta es la ruta A303 de Inglaterra que pasa junto a Stonehenge. Desde la creta hasta el asfalto, pasando por la turba, los caminos de la edad de bronce, romano, medievales y la ruta de peaje con gruesas piedras irregulares. #historia #history #estratigrafia #stratigraphy #reinounido #unitedkingdom #uk
