Sunday sand: green grains of Groningen (and a lot of gas)

Through the Sandglass [2010-12-19 05:27:00]   recommend this post  (935 visits)

Having celebrated the sand enthusiasts of the Netherlands in my previous post, it’s an appropriate time for a Dutch sand (again, thanks to Carla) – one that displays, with subtle understatement, some seasonal colours (although, given the current [...]

Interview with Mick Ellison

Dave Hone’s Archosaur Musings [2010-12-21 10:13:14]   recommend this post  (931 visits)

The American Geophysical Union Fall 2010 Meeting last week in San Francisco was like a giant, all-you-can-eat science buffet. No matter what flavor of the geosciences interests you — near-surface to core, earth to Mars, hard rock to water [...]

People often send me links to stories of the Indian cow that took to eating baby chickens. The story isn't at all new: it appeared in the press in March 2007, and at least one of the cow's lapses into carnivory was filmed. It's shown here (though [...]
