jing beiyuan - sedimentary breccia

breccias are sedimentary rocks that are composed of older angular rock fragments held together by a younger and newer matrix/cement. basically jing beiyuan carrying the memories of his past lives with him 🥺

Rain runoff simulator. Should help with figuring out what vegetation goes where. (The debug lines are based on where the water hits the sea)

It can also be used to paint streaks (shown with random colors in 3rd picture). Perhaps iron-y rock sediments could leave rusty trails?

A remarkable link between the number of nearby supernovae and life on Earth has been discovered. Evidence demonstrates a close connection between the fraction of organic matter buried in sediments and changes in supernovae occurrence [read more: https://t.co/2e2PaMokJQ]

Nothrotherium torresi in sediments related to humid conditions, supporting the idea that members of the Nothrotheriinae had great ecological tolerance and was capable of inhabiting climates ranging from cold and arid to warm and humid. Second image shows a skull of Arctotherium

Cave Malks are know for their craftsmanship. They mostly live in caves/volcanoes. They are able to withstand large amounts of heat and are able to gavitize rocks and other specific sediments. Cave Malks are also often greedy; bargaining with them can be a pain.

The inland sea is home to several species of walrus. Most common is the borgu, a suction feeding gomphotarid that specializes in worms, using their mustaches to feel for prey in the sediment of the seagrass meadows.

Bringing back a character I haven't drawn in a bit, ESRT dressed up as a nurse! She knows nothing in the medical field but at least she can identify sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, which won't help at all... Oh well, it's only cosplay.

Most Icelandic rivers have their source at one of the numerous glaciers. Along the way to the sea, they transport vital nutrients for the ecosystem in form of sediment, which results in the very abstract colors.

posting a preview of this dude again with some mud/sediment markings, I wanted a Viking look so I wouldn't unintentionally use markers that relate to indigenous tattoos/face paints. But since modern viking depictions take/have similar looks to indigenous traditional looks-

They carry rocks and sediment from the land where they formed to the ocean. This material can tell us about Earth's past!

Communities living in the Tigris-Euphrates basin faced periodic changes. One of these was the shifting courses of the rivers, the result of sedimentation/erosion & manmade efforts.

These changes had legal & economic ramifications & were imbued with spiritual significance.

Some creatures in the shallows of Capital Inlet, part of Two Sky River in the birrin 'verse. Mudplates filter the sediment for organics while schools of sand and sea-darts seek prey with their keen eyesight.
