I’m excited to share our new paper, out now in . We used scales (denticles) preserved in coral reef sediments to reconstruct the pre-exploitation baseline of a reef shark community in Caribbean Panama. https://t.co/Sbl0sOm0J2 (1/18)

Sable shaping up beautifully. There's much to love, but I think I have a fav: look at the vivid bands of sandstone! Sediment rings of deep time. Sable has everything to do with layers of history, archaeology & strata. The crushed temporal ribbons are a fantastic symbol of that.

The 1959 discovery of the OH 5 skull led to the first K-Ar age determination of sediments at Olduvai by Garniss Curtiss. Finding them to be 1.75 Ma—triple the expected age—he wrote: "One thing is certain. Olduvai Man is old, old, old!"

The Zeeland Ridge Neanderthal was discovered in sediments extracted from the bottom of the North Sea. This is the first Pleistocene fossil hominin found under seawater. The partial frontal bone shows a lesion caused by an epidermoid cyst.

Announcing a new issue always brings a warm feeling, and this one is full of imaginaries, life, resources, hidden infrastructures, sedimented histories, buried architectures, critical and contested sites ☄️ it’s the Underground issue https://t.co/6si0Vddf55

Morturneria, an antarctic Aristonectine, sucks up krill resting on the bottom of some sea ice. Morturneria was a supremely weird filter feeder, sifting through sediment to feast on small invertebrates

Fossil remains are often distorted when we find them, by natural weathering, moisture, or the weight of sediments that build above them. Sterkfontein, South Africa, has a complex array of depositional environments that left their mark on the fossils.

They didn't had idea... HOW FAST I AM, BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! And you must be wondering: "Wait, Where's Sedimentary?"

In the deep sea the crushing pressures had created this being from sediment. It was the first time pure light had lit up this suffocating darkness.

And here its Duamant, a ghost/rock monster!

They obtain sediments from the ground in order to create an innocent-looking creature, which they use as a bait to lure their prey and as a shield to prepare their offensives. They have an enviable intelligence.

A middle Cambrian formation just above (after) the Wheeler and just below (before) the Weeks.

Layers of ocean bottom sediment being laid down around a continent near the equator 520 million years ago. Today that same continent has rotated 90 degrees and moved north.

Was really hoping to get at least one drawing out for November but school's been real hectic.

Let's just pretend this quick piece came out 15 minutes earlier. 😉

Anyway, here's my favorite alien from 's series of designs; the spectacular sedimentary Sandbox.

Thinking mainly of the flow of the earth and wind, the layers of sediment and the gradients of color and time they showcase.
