Eoarchean Downpour

Molten land for the longest time, With no life for eons on end. Not a whisper of life could hold, For the fires not a chance would lend.

"Enough", said the Earth, "Hell no more". As the heat yielded, then came change. At last, life was freed from its chains, The downpour dawning a new age.

A great deluge poured, with no pause, And primordial oceans swelled. Unrecognisable was Earth, For never again would it melt.

Unveiling the Mysteries: Geological Origins of the West Valley Fault in the Philippines

Scan the QR code to get this blog on the go. The Philippines, known for its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, also harbors hidden geological wonders that shape the very ground we walk on. One such marvel is the West Valley Fault, a tectonic boundary with a rich history that intertwines with the country’s geological narrative. In this article, we delve into the fascinating geological…

If God's wrath is real, it has been unleashed in the late Permian extinction.

(R): Red, pillowy aftermaths of Rain

Explore here, how little red, pillowy magical creatures came to metaphorise rain in deserts!

It has been raining on-off since a few weeks now, and making full use of it, I have been going on long, long treks in the smooth rhyolite-rock hills around my house. *If you can get past the scientific jargon, it is always worthwhile to look into the geological history of the area you live in. It is wildly exhilarating to imagine that the place I live in was once a hellish-landscape of glowing…

Life on Our Planet trailer dropped!

#life on our planet #love how many creatures from how many different periods it's showing #i hope there's enough time to cover such a breadth of geologic history #Youtube

the tragedy of enjoying the type of fandom analysis, speculation, info, and long-form discussion that only really seems to happen on reddit these days but if I wander onto any witcher subreddit there's this yappy swarm of bigots on every post ever no matter what the post is about

.

#it'll be like “hey guys what are your thoughts about the geological history of the continent do you think dinosaurs exist” #and there will be a huge comment thread like I BET HISSBITCH WOULD CAST IDRIS ELBA AS A DINOSAUR #ok....

[starswallowingsea]

THIS

is the Ediacaran period and THIS

is the Cambrian period. Got it?

#shay speaks #geology #the ediacaran was before animal life as we know it evolved. or plants really #we arent sure what those things are we just call them shit like dickinsonia #literally look up ediacaran biota and just look at all the artistic renditions #its soooooooo cool guys everyone study geology its so cool #ediacaran biota my beloved fr fr #ALSO EDIACARAN CNIDARIANS!!!!!! #okay im done geology posting!!! go forth and uh. idk tell people about the ediacaran ig #also im not dissing the cambrian by any means its still an absolutely fascinating piece of geologic/earth history #but we did not have trilobites or anything during the ediacaran when we had the silly leaf looking biota #its actually hypothesized that the rise of trilobites and multicellular life in general brought about the end of the ediacaran biota #bc they just disappear from the geologic record. gone. kaput #okay fr this has been geology with shay

watching Earth documentaries to study for my exam because I genuinely cannot focus on studying our slides

#also this class's orgabization is a fucking MESS #so its hard as fuck to find information #me: o dip the great oxygenation event 2.5 Ga!! ok sweet!!! #the class is geologic history of the earth so . so #ollie rambles

I am taking The Step and being a very brave boy and I am going to start setting up my non fr art account. for REAL this time. no “I say I will do this and oops I don’t” it’s For Real and if it’s not up soon you have permission to kick me. I wrote some introduction post the other day that turned into a million page long essay so i’ve gotta like... actually draw shit, instead of just wall of text worldbuilding infodump lmao. I thought, hey let’s give a little primer into my world. and then I immediately went into a rant about geological history i didn’t even GET to the main species until like 2/3 of the way down lmfao

but I have spent too long letting that account haunt the back of my brain. its posting time!!! (I am utterly terrified to post things you have no idea.) but that’s how it goes. soon. maybe this week once i get some exams out of the way. it WILL happen

#also it's not going to be All worldbuilding. like I will do other stuff. but that's probably the bulk of it at least at the start #put it off long enough!!!!!!!!! #i have decided who cares if nobody likes my little brainworms. they are MY brainworms and i love them so much #they are incredibly self indulgent for me personally and if nobody likes that thats okay. because they are everything i like wrapped up into #one wormy little dweeb. and i love that #plus I just. wanna share worldbuilding ideas like why did I even become a paleontologist to NOT use all that information to make other cool #stuff. right!! right. #so I WILL be ranting about geological history and there's nothing you can do about it. i WILL be ranting about the evolution of these fellas #it is my space to Go Ham instead of just storing it all in my brain like i've always done. now you can come along for the ride #but i can't rant more tonight lol my head is killing me. but i am making a PROMISE. it will be soon. it will be within a couple days #no more stalling!!! #rambles #and please god i will try not to infodump everything i need to actually draw accompanying shit lmao

Geological Time Period Bracket, Round 2, Side A

Round tag

Group 1:

Precambrian vs Terreneuvian / Silurian vs Neoproterozoic

Siderian vs Calymmian / Cryogenian vs Triassic

Group 2:

Hadean vs Oligocene / Mesoproterozoic vs Upper Triassic

Cambrian Series 2 vs Guadalupin / Holocene vs Upper Devonian

Group 3:

Archaean vs Ectasian / Palaeoproterozoic vs Ediacaran

Rhyacian vs Devonian / Jurassic vs Miaolingian

Group 4:

Palaeozoic vs Neoarchaean / Pleistocene vs Cisuralian

Middle Triassic vs Middle Devonian / Eocene vs Upper Jurassic

Notes:

Periods marked in red were eliminated in round 1. Where there was a tie, a random number generator was used to decide the period to be eliminated.

Seeding occurred where possible; the period with the highest % of votes in that group is vs the period with the lowest % of votes. The period with the second highest % vs the second lowest %, etc.

At the conclusion of this round, the remaining periods will be entered into a bracket for easier visualisation. At present, there are currently too many.
