SO ENDS this first weekend on the Great Unconformity, surely one of the most disruptive events in our planet along with the birth of the moon, the meteorite phase, plate tectonics, the Great Oxygenation event, snowball earth, and multicellularity. This has suffered from relative obscurity: even a BBC summary of the 25 biggest turning points in Earth’s history fails to mention it. Somehow it got subducted in obscure and badly written geological articles. I have the sense that most people have never heard of this, including biologists who have twisted themselves into pretzels to explain the Cambrian Explosion. https://lnkd.in/dZRSWah View in LinkedIn
