🧪⚒️I just released Cees Van Staal on the Origin of the Appalachians. The story is closely tied to the Caledonian orogeny across the Atlantic. But today's topography stems from the rifting and magmatism of the much later opening of the Atlantic and the recent ice ages ending 10,000 years ago.
Show Post🧪⚒️Just released Mike Hudec on salt tectonics. Amazingly, salt structures can be many tens of kilometers across. And because salt is extremely weak compared to other rocks and minerals, it is the first to deform in the presence of stresses. It's often involved in forming hydrocarbon reserves.
Show Post🧪⚒️I just posted an episode about using the late Paleozoic ice age as an analog to climate conditions today. It was similar in that there was low but rising CO2 and continental ice sheets. Her models suggest possible major ocean anoxia and dramatically increased runoff as CO2 climbs.

My #FridayFossil has to be trilobites, after hearing the very sad news that Richard Fortey died today. Thanks to hearing about this museum from him I had a wonderful visit to see trilobites in Portugal 16 years ago. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard... museudastrilobites.pt/en/

Thinking of the departed geology educator Ron Schott today. Here's a GigaPan Ron made of "the Kings Squash" in California's Sierra Nevada: Marbles of the Boyden Cave Roof Pendant - deformation culminating with batholith emplacement. #FridayFold ⚒️ viewer.gigamacro.com/view/kfgYvgx...
