@oddpride: This story begins with a bigass shark and ends with the invention of geological science. Which makes it the perfect story, imo. 🦈 ⛰️ 🦔 #mindblown #sciencehistory #sharks #paleontology #Science

hey, shout out to that nobleman saying- very fondly, 'oooh, I keep a weirdo that would love this...WEIRDO!'
This absolute madlad comes in waddling like an Igor: 'Oh, Master- A WONDERFUL PRESENT!!!'
'you go do some science on this you absolute goblin!'

Looking at that old shark head I can't help it but seeing a Megalodon. 😳 Does that head still exist somewhere? Are there more documents about that fish? 🤔

I love the idea that "rocks have history" was at some point ground breaking... no pun intended.

a wild ride from "big fish" to "here's the origin of geology"!

the fact that I'm nearly 30 with a college degree in the sciences and it never occurred to me to make the connection "the object inside the rock must be older than the rock" blows my mind.

My grandpa actually caught a herring in the Baltic sea that was so big that he actually contacted the local goverment! At the time it was the biggest herring ever fished in the Baltic sea, and was sent to a museum of natural history

So much of science is built upon principles and proofs that we take for granted today. Science is summiting a mountain and then showing the baby steps that got them to that pinnacle.

Considering the scientists I’ve met… he was talking everyone he could corner about this theory in those two years, right? lol

It’s insane that things that seem so obvious to us today were once revolutionary

It sounds silly, but we still study these principles in geology. It feels obvious, but spelling them out helps you to step through reasoning in 3 dimensions with sometimes limited information.

Fun fact: sharks are older than trees.

How big of a fish do you have to catch to summon the local government???? My friend, the fish cops are out on these waters and on social media.

So he was born in Denmark, studied in Amsterdam, moved to Italy, convered to Catholic from Lutheran, became a Bishop, and was beatified as patron saint of geosciences. Someone knew how to party

I love Steno. His birth name was Niels Stensen - Stensen being a patronym as his father’s name was Steen. What does Steen mean, you ask? STONE!!! Talk about nominative determinism.

its crazy how 400 years ago you could write a paper about rocks purely based off logic and reason with barely any experiments/proof and end up being a foundational part of science, I wish it was still as easy 😂

sorry but, "something has to exist before it can be inside a rock", is a really funny sentence to me

and then it took almost 300 years for us to figure out plate tectonics
