Wooster Geologists [2014-06-08 07:07:47]   recommend this post  (844 visits)

This is not an important fossil — there is not enough preserved to put a name on it beyond Family Goniasteridae Forbes, 1841 (thanks, Dan Blake) — but it was a fun one to find. It also photographs well. This is a ray fragment of an [...]

Nice videoblog on geology (in Spanish) – Un geólogo en apuros

Paleoseismicity [2014-06-12 00:15:43]   recommend this post  (635 visits)

While the majority of geoscience blogs is in English, I personally have the feeling that Spanish must be the second most popular language in the geoblogosphere. Videoblogs are not so numerous, but there are some really good ones out there. … [...]

Dear American advertising industry: English is a wide and diverse language.  It has many different dialects, which have evolved their own vocabulary, spelling, and slang over the centuries.  However, with the invention of the internet, any of [...]
