All The Latest Paleontological Events From Around The World

When the dinosaurs died, so did forests -- and tree-dwelling birds May 24, 2018
Sixty-six million years ago, the world burned. An asteroid crashed to Earth with a force one million times larger than the largest atomic bomb, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs. But dinosaurs weren't the only ones that got hit hard -- in a new study, scientists learned that the planet's forests were decimated, leading to […]
Volcano 'libraries' could help plan for future volcanic crises May 24, 2018
Crystals from the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption have demonstrated a new way to recognize pre-eruption signals at Eyjafjallajökull and potentially other, similar volcanoes around the world.
Utah fossil reveals global exodus of mammals' near relatives to major continents May 23, 2018
A nearly 130-million-year-old fossilized skull found in Utah is an Earth-shattering discovery in one respect. The small fossil is evidence that the super-continental split likely occurred more recently than scientists previously thought and that a group of reptile-like mammals that bridge the reptile and mammal transition experienced an unsuspected burst of evolution across several continents.

Dusty rainfall records reveal new understanding of Earth's long-term climate May 24, 2018
Ancient rainfall records stretching 550,000 years into the past may upend scientists' understanding of what controls the Asian summer monsoon and other aspects of the Earth's long-term climate. Milankovitch theory says solar heating of the northernmost part of the globe drives the world's climate swings between ice ages and warmer periods. The new work turns […]
Did the Chicxulub asteroid knock Earth's thermometer out of the ballpark? May 24, 2018
When the Chicxulub asteroid smashed into Earth 65 million years ago, the event drove an abrupt and long-lasting era of global warming, with a rapid temperature increase of 5° Celsius (C) that endured for roughly 100,000 years, a new study reports.
Cold production of new seafloor May 24, 2018
Magma steadily emerges between oceanic plates. It pushes the plates apart, builds large underwater mountains and forms new seafloor. This is one of the fundamental processes that constantly change the face of the Earth. But there are also times when new seabed is created without any volcanism, by un-roofing mantle material directly at the seafloor. […]

It's amazing, you spend 8 years slugging it out trying to explain science to people and bring science to the masses and you disagree with Elon Musk just the once and 🤷🏾‍♀️

@WoodinRivers @Tweetisaurus Good points. I always say a poster should be able to carry the basic story without you being there, which goes back to @orocline’s comment.

@seis_matters @Tweetisaurus So maybe more important to target many people walking by all day, such that poster draws in more casual viewers & gives them everything without presenter. Or structure it much more visually so it acts to support presentation at session. Not necessarily same thing.
