Here we assess the degree of ecological stability of the epifaunal pterioid bivalve assemblage (EPBA), which is part of the Middle Devonian Hamilton fauna of New York the type example of the pattern of coordinated stasis, in which long... more »

Overlapping sedimentary rocks 
  Near my home are Cambrian sedimentary rocks. Yesterday I noticed a distinct layer with overlapping segments. At first I thought it was a unique anomalous feature, but then (about 50 vertical feet up - 300 feet farther along/downstream) I saw another layer that had been laid down at a later time with exactly the same... more »
