"Fossil Grove is Glasgow's most ancient attraction. It is a treasure unique to the city. The fossil trees and surrounding rocks provide an insight into the remote past - to the time if their formation about 330 million years ago.
Excavation of the site revealed fossil trees preserved in the position in which they were once growing. The site thus represents a small patch of ancient forest.
The model shows the position of the fossil remains - eleven stumps with their main roots together with a large section of fallen trunk and several smaller fragments of branch."

Within the era of scientifically accepted 'we are the cause of climate change and global warming' and its inevitable consequences, can we afford new and further exploitation of fossil fuels?
"The world possesses the tools and technology needed to reduce carbon emissions, build a more sustainable economy and end our reliance on fossil fuels."

Currently Wales and the UK are awash with a tied of new fossil fuel exploitation, shale gas, coal bed methane and new open cast coal mines. So often cited as bridging too renewables, or replacing imported fossil fuels.
13 April 2014: IPCC PRESS RELEASE
Greenhouse gas emissions accelerate despite reduction efforts.
"Scenarios show that to have a likely chance of limiting the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius, means lowering global greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 70 percent compared with 2010 by mid-century, and to near-zero by the end of this century. Ambitious mitigation may even require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."

All of this new fossil fuel development will bridge to renewables, pay for it, not distract from it? Does our governance seem like they are leading the way to mitigating climate change, are we a shinning example to others countries to follow suit?
Doesn't a global bullet need to be bitten within a short time scale, or is the bullet simply being deflecting for future generations to deal with, and its real impact?

Plant fossils may not be as impressive as faunal remains, but they are what allow us to reconstruct the ancient environment. They tell us how the landscape looked, what the climate was like, and what kind of habitats it provided for animals.

During the last ice age, glaciers formed in the Sierra Nevada. Meltwater from the glaciers pooled into large lakes, including Owens Lake and the Owens River. The river traveled through to Indian Wells Valley, and its course was diverted several times by volcanic activity. The falls were formed when the river was forced to divert its course over a basalt flow, polishing and reshaping the rock into a variety of unique shapes and forms.
All the lava flows at Fossil Falls are basaltic. The Coso Volcanic Field brought flows from the north east and later Red Hill, which can be viewed from Fossil Falls, released the younger lava. The flows occurred between 400,000 years ago and 10,000 years ago. During this period, the glacial flows would run through Fossil Falls and smooth the vesicular basalt. The erosion found at Fossil Falls was formed by the youngest glacial runoff, called the Tioga, from the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range about 20,000 to 10,000 years ago.
In addition to the small gas vesicles in the basalt, there are large, perfectly circular penetrations in the basalt. These are erosional features called potholes. It is speculated that Red Hill cast out granitic detritus which fell into Fossil Falls. Water accelerates as it moves past the rocks. The relatively still water ahead forced the moving water to slow down and rotate to form an eddy. The high velocity currents were enough to catch the granitic rocks from Red Hill and spiral them downwards in multiple vortices, drilling them into the basalt. Sediments would get trapped and continue to circularly erode the holes.
Fossil Falls originally started downstream from where it sits today; it moved upstream as waterfalls typically do. Water falling over the edge of the waterfall undercut the falls and caused them to move upstream and grow taller. This process is called plunge-pool erosion.
Fossil hunting along I-64 in West Virginia. The locality includes many plant fossils and some marine fossils. The latter included a few crinoid ossicles with a small pointy tooth.

Fossil creek is absolutely beautiful, there are so many rocks and spill overs that there are little waterfalls everywhere.

October 2008 I found myself on a week tour of Australia talking to surgeons and the Biomet sales force there. After getting into Melbourne and being dropped off at the Hotel Windsor (where there was a rich lady getting out of her PLUM colored Rolls Royce) I had some time to kill so wandered over to the Melbourne Museum and now have one of my favorite photos.

At least I think so. Part of what looked like a huge reef. I went back to the site the other day, hadn't been to it in years, and it was all covered over with plants and construction.
