@unitedutilities It's the outfall next to the M60 (behind Wilfred Road) that receives discharges from Eccles WwTW. I have marked the location on this map. An update would be much appreciated. Thank you.
The giant ground sloth (Megatherium americanum) @ZoologyMuseum. It is one of the largest land mammals to have ever lived. They could weigh over 4 tonnes (4000 kg). Modern sloths average just 5 to 6 kg. Find out more https://t.co/H0mdYcfb1U
The Devonian saw Earth’s first forests as lycophytes, horsetails and ferns grew to large sizes. The first ammonites appeared in the oceans and cartilaginous fish such as sharks and rays were abundant by the late Devonian. Lots of tectonic activity and Pangaea began to form 🌎
The Silurian saw plants and animals emerge on land. Marine biodiversity recovered after the end Ordovician mass extinction. Huge coral reefs developed and fish evolved jaws. Very high CO2. Supercontinent Gondwana dominated the SH. No Ordovician on my chart! #EarthHistory 🌎🐟
