Folding into Friday like it's already the weekend. Always amazed by the wonders and incredible energy carried out by geological forces. Hope the warmer days bring more time to find peace in nature. Every day can be a blessing outside, set an intention to find it.

Scientists use magnetic minerals, fossil records, and innovative mapping to reconstruct our planet's 4-billion-year geological #history. You can trace the movement of continents from ancient Pangea to today's landscape, explaining how our world has constantly reshaped itself.

A small concretion that has eroded out of the sedimentary rock layers here on the shore. It possibly has a fossil inside, but I like it too much to break it open

Early #Earth's first #crust composition discovery rewrites geological timeline
Modern continental rocks carry chemical signatures from the very start of our planet’s history, challenging current theories about #plateTectonics.

Picked it up 47km away :)
Mexican Hat rock! I'm still trying to get a really good photo of it. One of these days things will line up with a low angle sun (I seem to always be there mid-day) and a pretty sky. I kind of like how in this shot the 'hat' stands out a bit due to the shadow on the hills in the background. Ooo, I just thought of an idea. I'll try shooting this under a full moon when I'm there later this month.
"The heavy meteor bombardment during this early period caused extensive disruption and recycling of the crust.
Plate tectonics may have worked in fits and starts, triggered by meteor impacts until about 3.8 billion years ago, when meteor bombardment decreased dramatically as the early Solar System’s chaos gave way to more orderly orbits."
how little we know about the ground beneath our feet...
