There are features identical to this "stromatolite" a short ways laterally in the same bed that are upside down, which stromatolites don't do.

I was in middle school; I was in a classroom with one big handmade table that we couldn't all fit under. The social science teacher directed us all outside onto a slope made of fill that would certainly have liquefied if the earthquake had been bigger. We were absolutely not ready lol.

Illustration of fossilized Radiolaria, microscopic marine protozoa, showing various spherical, spiny skeletal forms with intricate porous surfaces. The plate features detailed black-and-white drawings of twelve specimens, labeled with numbers, displaying different geometric patterns and spicule arrangements. Some are fully intact spheres, others are cut open to reveal internal lattice structures. The fossils are categorized as Heliosphaera, Acanthosphaera, and Ceriosphaera, highlighting diversity in pore size, spine length, and shell complexity. This scientific lithograph from the 19th century captures the delicate, symmetrical architecture of these ancient silica-based microfossils studied during the HMS Challenger expedition.

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

AND ooid sand can be such perfect spherical sand that a German engineer from Retsch once told me that one of my field samples couldn't possibly be natural.

My contribution to the sand discourse is that a lot of the most stereotypical white sand beaches have carbonate sand, including my favorite kind of sand, ooids, but more commonly broken down skeletal carbonate.

They just don’t get it - they’re trying to replace the part of our job we like the *most*.

If they could make an AI tool to vibe-complete travel, reimbursement, and annual reporting paperwork they would make a fucking FORTUNE

Does this include potential for a wave tank to think about ooids, oncoids, grapestones and other weird carbonate grains that don't form in unidirectional currents???
