Mor og søns fund af belemnitter fra lørdagens tur til Møn. 🤩 Belemnitter, bedre kendt som vættelys i daglig tale, er blandt de mest almindelige fossiler i Danmark. De små, runde kalkpigge med en tragt i den ene ende var en del af bagkroppen på fortidens blæksprutter. Disse fossilers ydre ligner moderne 10-armede blæksprutter. 🦑 Vættelyset, som består af kalk, har typisk en svag orange farve, når de findes. Billeder viser, at mængden af belemnitter var betydelig og indikerer, at blæksprutter var meget udbredte i havet. Belemnitter opstod for omkring 234 millioner år siden i slutningen af Trias-perioden og uddøde sammen med dinosaurerne for 66 millioner år siden i slutningen af Kridttiden. . . #GeologyTuesday #RockDiscoveryTuesday #EarthScienceTuesday #GeologyRocks #EarthScienceAdventures #GeoDiscovery #RockingGeology #WeeklyWonders #vættelys #belemnitter #belemnites #møn #højemøn #mønsklint #fossil #fossiler
Læså, a unique window into our geological past. In my two years as a geology student, I’ve truly come to appreciate that Denmark isn’t as uninteresting as many might think. One of my absolute favorite spots is Læså in South Bornholm. Here, you gain a completely unique insight into the fantastic geology that Bornholm has to offer. The stream cuts deeply into the rock in several places, allowing for the observation of layer sequences from the geological periods of Cambrian and Ordovician. Especially the path between Vasegård and Lille Kalbygård is fantastic. Here, you first encounter the green shale, followed by Rispebjerg sandstone, alum shale, and both dark and light limestone. The geological layer series spans over 200 million years, from Lower Cambrian to Upper Ordovician, a geological period that ended 400 million years ago. 🪨 The stream itself actually has nothing to do with the origin of the layers. It has simply, over the past few thousand years, carved its way down into the relatively soft layers and exposed them. Originally, the layers were horizontal, but crustal movements have caused displacements in several places. As a result of this tilting, the layers do not lie on top of each other but slant alongside one another. The oldest layers lie to the north and the youngest to the south. These unique conditions contribute to making the area special. #GeologyTuesday #RockDiscoveryTuesday #EarthScienceTuesday #GeologyRocks #EarthScienceAdventures #GeoDiscovery #RockingGeology #WeeklyWonders

Not Caused by Aliens... THE MYSTERIOUS GRAVITATIONAL HOLE IN INDIAN OCEAN The mysterious gravitational anomaly is probably not caused by aliens. Dubbed the “gravity hole,” this enigmatic phenomenon has puzzled scientists for ages. Finally, researchers might have found their answer. Harnessing the power of supercomputers and delving deep into Earth’s history—think 140 million years deep—they’ve unearthed a tantalizing explanation: magma plumes! Yes, these fiery underground rivers, reminiscent of volcanic eruptions, could be the missing link to understanding why the sea level dips by over 328 feet (100 meters) in this gravitational hotspot. So, it’s not extraterrestrial shenanigans—it’s a volcanic symphony playing out beneath our feet! #GravityMysterySolved #EarthScienceAdventures #MagmaPlumeMagic #IndianOceanExploration 🌋🌊🔍 https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/24/world/gravity-hole-geoid-low-indian-ocean-scn/index.html?iid=cnn_buildContentRecirc_end_recirc
Ms. Kroberger's Earth Science class had a blast visiting the campus bamboo forest! 🌿 Studies prove that spending time in nature reduces stress, anxiety, and depression while also boosting cognitive development. We're all about that outdoor learning life for a healthier mind and a whole lot of fun! 🌎✨ #EarthScienceAdventures #NatureTherapy #LearningBeyondTheClassroom

A cada golpe de martelo, uma parte da história da vida na Terra é revelada. 🌍💎💥💪 Escavação é uma técnica incrível usada para desenterrar tesouros do passado, como fósseis, artefatos antigos e muito mais! 🕵️♀️🦖 Antes de começar, fazemos uma pesquisa detalhada para escolher o melhor local. Isso envolve olhar mapas, estudar o solo e a história. Queremos aumentar as chances de fazer descobertas incríveis! 🗺️🔍 Marcamos a área com estacas para manter tudo organizado. E então, começamos a cavar em camadas, tirando fotos e fazendo desenhos para entender a história. 📷📝 Usamos ferramentas especiais, como pás e escovas, para cuidadosamente desenterrar os tesouros. Às vezes, até usamos pincéis de dentes! 🛠️🖌️ Depois, peneiramos o solo para encontrar pequenos tesouros perdidos. Cada descoberta é anotada em um caderno. 📔 Itens frágeis são tratados com carinho em laboratórios especiais. Depois da escavação, fazemos análises para saber mais sobre a idade e origem das descobertas. 🧪🔬 Os resultados são interpretados por especialistas e podem ser compartilhados com você em artigos, livros ou museus. 📚🏛️ E, claro, é importante proteger e preservar o local após a escavação. Vamos cuidar do nosso patrimônio histórico! 🌳🏞️ Autoria: Andrina Mendes de Souza, Dayane de Jesus Silva Guimarães e Graciene Machado Moura #EscavaçãoDeFósseis #Paleontologia #CiênciaDaTerra #FóssilEncontrado #CuriosidadesPaleontológicas #MundoPré-Histórico #Dinossauros #EarthScienceAdventures #FossilExcavation #DiggingUpThePast #GeologicalWonders #AncientHistory #DinosaurDiscoveries #FossilizedFootprints #DiscoveringTheEarth #PrehistoricWorld #FossilHunting #ScienceWonders #uncoveringhistory

📍 Colorado National Monument As an Earth Science teacher, I couldn’t resist immersing myself in the awe-inspiring beauty and geological marvels of Colorado National Monument! This remarkable place takes us on a journey through millions of years of Earth’s history. 🌄🌿 The towering red rock formations and dramatic canyons of Colorado National Monument are the result of powerful geological processes that have shaped this landscape over time. From the towering monoliths to the intricate patterns etched into the cliffs, each layer reveals a chapter in Earth’s story. 🗻💎 Did you know? The monument’s rock layers span hundreds of millions of years, from ancient sedimentary rocks formed in shallow seas to the volcanic activity that created some of the towering cliffs we see today. 🌋💧 As I hiked along the trails, I couldn’t help but be amazed by the exposed rock formations, each with its own unique color and texture. The forces of erosion, such as wind and water, have meticulously sculpted these masterpieces, creating a visual feast for geology enthusiasts like me. 🚶♀️🔍 Exploring Colorado National Monument reminded me of the incredible forces that have shaped our planet. It’s a living classroom where nature’s lessons are on full display. 📚🌎 #ColoradoNationalMonument #GeologyRocks #EarthScienceAdventures #NatureClassroom #ExploringEarthHistory Remember to tag me if you visit this geological treasure trove!

Howe Caverns!!!! We took the family up to NY state this weekend and went to Howe Caverns! Sure was an adventure with a 14 month old and 4 year old lol. But they loved all the rock structures and my son loved the echos!!! Have you ever been to Howe Caverns or a cave like Howe Caverns? Would love to hear about your adventure!!! #weekendtrip #howecaverns #familyadventures #caves #iteachearthscience #earthscienceadventures
A much needed last minute getaway with Jill and miss Lily was the best idea ever! Thank you Jill for inviting me ❤️ #lucygoesforahike #foradogwhihateswatershesuredoestakeinagoodviewofit #adventuresoflucyandmommy #rescuepup #earthscienceadventures #womenofearthscience @earthsciencejill
