Also holly bushes stop growing prickles above the browse line and this is at mammoth height, which is higher than deer height.
E.g nearer 2 meters than 1.

I read somewhere (I think via @jacquelyngill.bsky.social ?) the idea that Northern European forests are missing mammoths still. Before humans, they would have played the role of knocking down trees and creating clearings.

I always feel sorry for goniatites. My Northern English experience of them is crushed grey on grey shale impressions. Yet presumably in life they were just as much a zipping tentacled dealer of death as ammonites. Super useful index fossils as well, just nobody puts them on lamp posts.

I like that the guy with the red beret is dressed as a tube of tomato paste.

People from Devon sometimes refer to themselves as 'Devonian'

Those are fabulous.

Definitely go to the museum and buy the geo guidebooks. If you have transport go and see the suevite quarry at Altenburg, the overturned limestones at Gosheim Quarry and if you can get out to Steinheim crater, go there too 1/2

A single rock can give many different ages, to put it another way. What they mean is sometimes not so obvious....

It depends on what they are getting the isotope age from. It's usually individual minerals. If those minerals are completely melted and reform, then you get a new age. Sometimes though minerals in an igneous rock weren't melted and show an older age. They're called 'antecrysts' IIRC.

I know it well. The red kites were exotic in the 90s but they've nearly reached London now. To my kids in suburban Reading they are totally normal, ever present.

You'll remember the cutting through the chalk then - quite spectacular in its way.

According to the Britice map shefuni.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappv...
they are all drumlins.

Exactly. Arguably lidar is even better for tracing human activities

Then the sinuous etched land of the Chilterns. The product of slow dissection of a huge slab of chalk. Frozen but not scoured by the Ice Ages. Some of these valleys have no streams.

That's my experience also. I suspect there are a lot of bad training courses out there that people rightly take a dislike to.

Myers-Briggs can go too far, but most of its dimensions are similar to those in academic psychology's 'Big Five' with the vital caveat that they are descriptive. You can't tell your employees to change who they are but you can get them to think about psychological differences.
