The name is perfect, even while it dramatically undersells this geologic wonder in remote southeast Oregon. It's called Crack in the Ground, a volcanic fissure 70 feet deep and two miles long that ...
The most famous assemblage of organisms are referred to as the Chengjiang biota for the multiple scattered fossil sites in Chengjiang. The age of the Chengjiang Lagerstätte is locally termed Qiongzhusian , a stage correlated to the late Atdabanian Stage in Siberian sequences of the middle of the Early Cambrian .
The Geological Society of Spain and the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain have produced a list of internationally important geosites (sites of geological interest known as LIGS in Spanish). This work, which began in 1999, is part of the Global Geosites project promoted by the International Union of Geological Sciences in the 1990s and ...
