I blame the Jurassic coast. Without it we wouldn't have geology, and climate change would never have happened.

Wow so it dates back all the way to the 1980's

The climate has changed quite a bit in past few billion years.

Subby rocks.

I'm working on a mineral deposits test right now, so I should really kick back to work.

I have a theory. I would like to state the the earth has gotten warmer in the middle and colder on the ends. That is my theory and the theory that is the one that I came up with.

I blame Plate Tectonics

Yeah, it's kinda like a microwaved space Twinkie.

This trilobites the big one!

Cummingtonite?

 
apiarist 2008-09-21 08:23:14 PM  
Darn that Fred Flintstone and his apatosaurus SUV!!

(Because global warming is unpossible unless humans is causing it)

 
ultraholland 2008-09-21 08:24:52 PM  
Dennis_Moore: Cummingtonite?

only if you're titanite
/and show me some gneiss cleavage

 
Dialectic 2008-09-21 08:55:06 PM  
Cool, I'm taking a geology class this semester!

 
Tooterfish 2008-09-21 09:25:53 PM  
Any pictures of it?

 
HowAboutNo 2008-09-21 10:19:34 PM  
My sediments exactly!

 
Burn14Me 2008-09-21 10:29:04 PM  
it could be related to deep crustal orogenies that cause uplift which cause explosive pressure releases. they need to check for trace minerals like Commingtonite and AsS as the source of deposition.

 
mreuther 2008-09-21 10:37:01 PM  
But...they must have been put there to test our faith!

Australian desert? Is that near Innsbruck?

shipofthesun - I have a theory. I would like to state the the earth has gotten warmer in the middle and colder on the ends. That is my theory and the theory that is the one that I came up with.

Are you related to Anne Elk?
Just a theory.

Whoa, people, people! The earth is *only 6,000 years old!* Get a grip on reality!

I came here for the Global Warming Flame War.... but was disappointed.
