No, not ... Nice in flow of -Pleistocene age along the river. . It is covering a famous site of late mammals. Including.... !!!

I looked up what life was like the last time the Earth had this much CO2 in the atmosphere. Oh boy, are you going to love what I found out.

After Blanchetown I finally made it to Morgan. I investigated an old abandoned quarry I was told had fossils in it. I found this bank of pure oyster shells. This is the classic North West Bend Formation, these oysters grew in the same Pliocene estuary as those Fellasters I didn't find.

And here it is. Sands that were laid down in the Pliocene as the sea retreated from the Murray Valley. Sadly I could not find any fossils here. Oh well, many miles to go I must press on.

I used to use Lisiecki's reconstruction from 2010 for ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-sea but at one point, I found Yamamoto a better fit. IIRC, it was because Yamamoto's CO2 declines gradually from 400ky on, after the interglacial "MIS 11" which I investigated in some depth as best analog for our climate today,
while Lisiecki's CO2 drops abruptly at 380ky. A comparison of both and the strong differences can be seen here nitter.nl/pic/orig/media%2FFTv

Lisiecki is the queen of paleo reconstruction, I think, so it seems appropriate to explain why I don't refer to her CO2. I also replaced her d18O versions with others, eg. Starr 2020 and Lawrence 2009 for South and North Atlantic respectively. And recently I found a new age model that better fitted some quirky sealevel events I was investigating, compared to Lisiecki's age model "LR04" which is the "age bible" for , I gather. But I haven't tried yet to see if I can make it work (Hatfield agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co )

Hi Tripti!

I really liked your analog paper.

agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co

Now… I need some help working over some of my dust-gathering for-just-me-I-guess Miocene simulations. Hope you come down and visit NYC soon.

Combo and - a surface of one of the strands of the Soda-Avawatz fault zone in the eastern Soda Mountains north of Baker, CA. The striations show almost perfectly horizontal right-lateral strike slip motion. The fault cuts a probable alluvial deposit and is buried by a middle alluvial fan deposit. This is one of several fault systems cutting across the Mojave Desert that is related to Pacific-North American plate boundary slip.

A combo toot for and (1/2)

These show my stepson and I searching large spoil piles at a construction site in 's Bone Valley Formation.

The piles shown are entirely and fossils - mostly seashells, along with some corals, shark teeth, and cetacean bone bits. These piles were 10m high in some places and quite unstable - caution was required.

We found some really nice specimens.

Super interesting paper in on using , the DNA that is taken from environmental samples like air, water, Earth, etc, to reconstruct the of late to early .
The mean temperatures found are 11-19 degrees above today's averages. In fact, this is a window into our future, without the incredible and other and of the time!!

This is where we hunt for fossils. Our favorite spot is the Peace River. It cuts through , , and deposits. You can find a wide variety of , from tusks to teeth.

We kayak a few miles away from civilization and have a shovel and screen picnic. It's a great way to enjoy , get some exercise, and find some interesting fossils.
