Somewhat related. It’s super weird walking around the desert in Palm Springs, over an hour from the ocean/LA, and there are seashells all over the place mixed into the sand. It’s very rare that I’ve experienced something so anachronistic, it made me feel the passage of time on a scale that was very unusually large.
- poulsbohemian 4y agoWe used to find seashell fossils in Iowa where I went to college just out on the ground surface. Mind blowing stuff for sure.
- m463 4y agoA friend told me another REALLY weird fact. If you dig a hole below the water table in most places a pond will form. And left alone for a while, fish will appear in it. This happens most anywhere. edit: also: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Phanerozoic_Sea_Level.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Phaneroz...
