Volcanic Winter May Have Paved The Way To The Demise Of Dinosaurs

Climate change triggered by massive volcanic eruptions may have ultimately set the stage for the dinosaur extinction, challenging the traditional narrative that a meteorite alone delivered the final blow to the ancient giants.

a logistical feat. it took a team of 18 people two weeks to piece this giant jigsaw puzzle together. and tell us a bit about what this creature was like. so it lived 100 million years ago? yes. so it was a herbivore, which means that only ate plants and its huge size meant that it needed over 120 kilos of plants every day just to keep moving. so it would have had to spend most of its time just eating. they lived in herds, so they roamed in groups across kind of cretaceous, patagonia, which would have been a really richly forested landscape with volcanoes. it must be an astonishing sight seeing a herd of these. and, you know, the natural history museum is famous for dippy the dinosaur. how does this compare in size? yes. so dippy is... maybe seems quite big when we first see it. but compared to this, actually, this is so much bigger.

"The Integration of Wireline Logs and Sedimentological Data to Predict " by Maher M. Mahdi, Maher J. Ismail et al.

Abstract: A combination of wireline log data and sedimentological characterization provides insight into the sequence stratigraphic framework of the carbonate rocks. The Cenomanian Rumaila Formation is considered one of the Cretaceous representative carbonate units in the Middle East. In Iraq, limited information regarding the regional distribution of the Rumaila Formation within a sequence stratigraphic framework prompted this work. This study integrates geophysical well logs (i.e. gamma ray, sonic and density logs) and a detailed microfacies study of the core and cutting samples to suggest the sequence stratigraphic framework of the studied sections. The detailed carbonate microfacies study of over 100 samples from the four available wells (WQA, WQB, WQC, and WQD) within the West Qurna Oil Field suggests deposition from the outer to the middle ramp with the influence of the shoal environment. The Rumaila Formation could be correlated to the early part of the highstand face of the Wasia Group with a Cenomanian to Early Turonian age. There is no clear evidence of unconformity or a time gap between the Ahmadi and Rumaila formations in the studied area. The sequence stratigraphic study of 80 m of the Rumaila Formation revealed the identification of three 4th-ordered stratigraphic sequences (RLS1, RLS2 and RLS3). Moreover, this study identified a potential regional correlative maximum flooding surface that correlates with the regional established one (i.e. K-130). Two marine flooding surfaces were identified within the studied sections and could be further correlated regionally. Because of the intercalation between the Rumaila and Mishrif formations in southern Iraq, identifying these regional marine intrusion episodes (i.e. K-130 and K-135) provides credible evidence to clearly differentiate them. In the transgressive system tracts (TST), the deepening upward trend is invariably accompanied by an increase in gamma-ray and density log values, a decrease in acoustic and neutron log values, and vice versa in the high stand system tracts (HST). Thus, wireline logs provide insight into the sequence stratigraphic framework in carbonate rocks, especially when sedimentological data is missing.

Enormous Dinosaur Footprints Discovered in Texas Riverbed Dried by Drought

As drought conditions led river levels to drop, new dinosaur tracks were uncovered fossilized in the Paluxy riverbed.
