Odd thing no. X (maybe I should have kept a tally) I ended up researching for the WIP #book#WritingCommunity
One of the interesting things that happened once animals evolved was that they started to make holes in the sediment. This not only opened a new niche once they figured out how to dig but also changed how some elements (e.g., sulfur) exchanged with the water above. www.nature.com/articles/nge... 🧪⚒️
Mobile organisms first appeared in the fossil record prior to the Precambrian–Cambrian transition. Sediment textures indicate that the degree of sediment mixing by animal activity remained low for 120...

Consumption of pornography (both nudity and depictions of intercourse) is essentially ubiquitous in both males and females under the age of 40 (doi.org/10.1007/s131...doi.org/10.1080/1468...), which hinders open and effective discussion. 🧪
Well, Calcite lost, I'm going to need a day to get ready to support Rhodochrosite. Meanwhile, the rest of you can choose between Kyanite and Topaz on #MinCup24www.mineralcup.org/2024/vote/r3m4
It's not that I don't like Rhodochrosite; I do. But people, don't let that distract you from the goal tonight - a win for Calcite in this round of #MinCup24#TeamCalcitewww.mineralcup.org/2024/vote/r3m3
Personal milestone achieved! This is the first year my mean citations-per-day has crossed to be greater than one (i.e., at least one of my papers was cited on every given day, on average). Now - to one-up that! #AcademicSky#SmallVictories
Don’t fall for this meat rock nonsense! Sure Rhodochrosite is pretty but vote calcite! Vote for calcite’s gargantuan role in art history - all of marble art and limestone sculpture, chalk drawing, pigment and extender. Vote calcite for fossils! Vote calcite for Viking navigation & birefringence!
