Yes, thanks for sharing. I find things like this truly fascinating. What an interesting History the World has.
So at least that part of the present day Sahara, back then, had an aquatic environment and contained rivers, fish, aquatic dinosaurs, etc.
But today that part of the Sahara is a bone dry desert consisting of sand and rock.
Is it possible – though highly unlikely of course – that the climate drastically changed causing the aquatic environment to disappear and leave a dry desert??
Why is this unlikely?
The aquatic environment described existed during the cretaceous period; about 100 million years ago.
I think, though I could be all wrong, that back then there were no SUVS, no coal fired power plants, no energy (electricity, heating, for propulsion, etc) produced by the combustion of oil and natural gas.
In fact, there were not even any humans, proto-humans or almost monkeys / apes.
As we all are aware, the climate cannot change at all unless human activity causes it to change.
Thus, it’s clear that somewhere, buried deep underground somewhere, are the remains of ancient power plants, SUVs, oil derricks, and humans, etc., all waiting to be discovered.
Not unique. I live in south Utah where, at more than 2000 ft above current sea level, are found fossils and bones of various aquatic life. The Bonneville salt flats are the remains of an inland sea, of which only the Great Salt Lake remains.
It is folly to ham-string a vibrant economy and its social adjunct in an effort to stop, or even slow, a process that has been ongoing for eons before mankind even existed.
It’s not only in times long before humans. In the Egyptian Museum, in Cairo, I saw artifacts from the period of 5,000-6,000 BC, when people began moving into the Nile valley from what are now the deserts of north Africa because those previously green locations were drying up. (They did not arrive in SUVs, so far as I know.)

And how to get it and consolidate it as quickly as possible…while suppressing the citizenry and creating havoc with society as we know it….
The MASTER plan? Using the time-honored tactics of creating multiple, endless crises, mayhem and confusion…together with unleashing indiscriminate intimidation and sowing fear…all the while claiming that it’s actually being done TO SAVE THE PLANET AND FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANKIND. (Oh! and mouthing slogans such as “Human Rights” and “Freedom” and “Fairness” and “Equity”…as they try to severely limit your human rights and in fact, put you in chains!!
The article focuses on Europe, but Canadian farmers are in Trudeau’s sites (and “Trudeau” is merely the WTF’s agent in Ottawa…as is Holland’s Rutte the WTF’s agent in The Hague). US agriculture may be harder to target but what happens when there’s no fertilizer and no fuel…and no seed(?)…)
OTOH, does anyone still wonder why Bill Gates is buying up so much farmland? (Not to mention the Chinese…)
Local TV has more info. on the Greenwood mall shooting.
On Tuesday, Chief Ison updated the timeline by offering the following statement.
“I would like to make a correction on a statement made yesterday at the 2 p.m. press conference concerning the Greenwood Park Mall shooting. There was an error in the timeline of events given. The time lapse between the moment that Jonathan Sapirman exited the restroom and began shooting, and when he was shot by the civilian (Elisjsha Dicken) was only fifteen seconds, not two minutes. The surveillance video shows Sapirman exited the restroom at 5:56:48 p.m. He was neutralized by Dicken at 5:57:03 p.m. This error was simply a result of misreading notes during the conference. I feel the need to correct this immediately. Thank you.”
“I will say his actions were nothing short of heroic. He engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun,” Ison said. “(He) was very tactically sound as he moved to close in on the suspect, he was also motioning for people to exit behind him. He has no police training and no military background.”
Ison explained to WRTV, Dicken’s first shot at the gunman was from 40-50 yards away and it appeared the very first shot hit the gunman.
Dicken was able to hit the gunman with additional rounds.
On Tuesday, Johnson County Coroner Mike Pruitt said an autopsy found the suspect had eight gunshot wounds and none were self-inflicted.
Dicken was carrying a 9-MM Glock, according to Ison. After confirming the shooter was no longer a threat, Dicken approached mall security and cooperated with officers, according to Ison. He was handcuffed and questioned by officers, but released upon verification of his actions via surveillance video.
Whoa. Super impressive.
A subcompact Glock like a G43 only carries 6 rounds in a magazine, though the G43X takes 10 round mags. A G19 compact can carry 15 or more rounds.
Quite nice. The album came out in 2021.

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings lend their stellar harmonies to Barry Gibb for “Butterfly,” a track off Gibb’s forthcoming country/roots album Greenfields, produced by Dave Cobb.
The song was first released as a deep track on the 1970 Bee Gees outtakes compilation Inception/Nostalgia. Written by Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb, it was cut by the British group United 4 + 2 in 1967, three years before the Bee Gees released their own version.
Greenfields, due January 8th, features collaborations with artists as varied as Keith Urban, Brandi Carlile, Dolly Parton and Olivia Newton-John. Last month, Gibb offered a preview of the album with “Words of a Fool,” a duet with Jason Isbell.
“From the first day we stepped into RCA Studios in Nashville… the album took on a life of its own,” Gibb said in a statement. “I feel deep down that Maurice and Robin would have loved this album for different reasons. I wish we could have all been together to do it…but I think we were.”
