A view of the geology of the Northern Rivers of New England, New South Wales. Includes thoughts on the formation of the regions volcanoes (Mount Warning, Ebor and others), groundwater, the Clarence Moreton Basin, recent sedimentation, gas (including coal seam gas), mineralization in the eastern part of the southern New England Orogen and more.
What is the geological influence in the Northern Rivers and New England areas of Australia that provide us with the beauty and diversity we see today?
Over at the Highly Allochthonous blog, Chris draws us to some signs of experimentation with palaeontology in our children. A very interesting parental advice poster! Are you checking what your child is dabbling in?
I almost got involved in palaeontology and they didn't have warnings like this when I was studying. Maybe the dangers have become more obvious?!
Seriously though, palaeontology is very very interesting and there is one area that is almost impossible to find anyone working in and that is palynology. It is such an important part of palaeontology and geology in general but an aspect virtually untaught in universities.
Palaeontology!...the slippery slope to the earth sciences!
