@oddpride: sometimes the rocks tell you awesome and inspiring stories, and sometimes they whisper vaguely of horrors beyond human comprehension :) #mindblown #paleontology #funfacts #science #dinosaurs #horror
as soon as you said "it's made of iridium" my stomach sank, because I saw where this was going.

I have a geophysics degree and I never learned about the iridium layer 🙃 we study the mass extinctions quite a lot and it was never mentioned

The answer is semi regularly, but I’m even more haunted by the Permian extinction because we have so much less clarity on what happened and in what order and because it KILLED THE OCEANS so bad

I love it when people talk about legitimate scientific history with the cadence of a preacher

can you explain why you say something knew the world was ending?

The creepiest part is that we might not know just how many times the world ended and restarted again.

This was a SINGLE take. I’m a full time creator and this person eloquently spit this out in a single breath. Oh my god.

Did you intend for this to be spoken word poetry? Because that’s how I heard it. Thank you for sharing

i hate how underdramatisized the extinction was because it was a very VERY slow process. entirely lasting millions of years. millions of years of endless rain, constant lava flow, and muttled sunlight. it was an insane apocalypse that humanity couldnt even comprehend the fear of 💔💔

I think all the time about the fact that one day the sky fell and 3/4 of everything that was alive on this planet died and didn't come back. And since

GLOBAL wildfires. KILOMETER high tsunamis in all directions. The raining glass broiled every living thing on the surface. I think about it all the time. It was literally hell on earth!

someone smarter than me needs to write a semi realistic science fiction book on the ecological murder of our planet called “the thin gray line”

FUN PLANT FACT: that dark time when the sun was out? its theorized that's when a lot of plants started becoming tetra/hexa/octo/+ploids. more genes = greater chance of survival

i like to ponder the things that didnt get fossilized, theres no way of knowing what they were, but there is so much we simply wont ever know because it didnt die in the right place with the right minerals for us to then stumble upon.
