No I haven't forgotten the serious. My serious tank is just running a little empty right now. I can only take so much mayhem and the brain goes a little numb.
Same atoms. Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and all the rest. Everything around us. From rocks to kittens. All there is created in the hearts of stars and seeded into the universe and into the earth.
"The Hills' colors originate from 35 million years ago, when this area was an ancient river floodplain. The colored bands are due to changes in climate that occurred as they were distributed through time. As the climate changed to a more tropical setting with distinct wet and dry seasons, reddish and yellowish layers formed that are made up of laterites, soils rich in iron and aluminum. Red soils come from a more tropical period, while the yellows are from a drier and cooler time. The red coloring is laterite soil that formed by floodplain deposits when the area was warm and humid.[3] The darker, black soil is lignite that was vegetative matter that grew along the floodplain. The grey coloring is mudstone, siltstone, and shale.
An abundance of fossil remains of early horses, camels, and rhinoceroses in the Painted Hills unit makes the area particularly important to vertebrate paleontologists." From Wickipedia.The Painted HIlls are often called one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon.
