New insights into mass extinctions | Geology Page

April 24, 2021

“Dead clades walking are a pattern in the fossil record where some animal groups make it past the extinction event, but they also can’t succeed in the aftermath,” said Benjamin Barnes, a doctoral student in geosciences at Penn State. “It paints the pictures of a group consigned to an eventual extinction.”

“In some cases, you have a group that has a sudden drop in diversity and lasts for a few more million years before disappearing from the record. But we also found many orders straggled along sometimes for tens or hundreds of millions of years.”

The scientists used a statistical technique called a Bayesian change point algorithm to analyze fossil records from the Paleobiology Database, a public record of paleontological data maintained by international scientists.

The method allowed the researchers to search time series data for significant points where the data deviated from the pattern. They were able to identify negative jagged shifts in diversity and rule out that the organism went extinct immediately but instead persisted.

Those survivors can continue in their niche for millions of years, even into the present. But their lack of diversity makes them more susceptible to future environmental challenges or extinction events, the scientists said.

Rafinesquina, seen in this close-up shot, was an ancient genus of brachiopod belonging to order Strophomenida. This order survived two mass extinction events, but the second represented a ‘death sentence’ from which they were unable to recover diversity, persisting for another hundred million years as a ‘dead clade walking’ before their eventual extinction.

Geology | The strange tale of the cursed brachiopod - News - The Columbus Dispatch - Columbus, OH

The noscript of one recent research paper in the journal Palaios caught my eye -- “The Curse of Rafinesquina: Negative taphonomic feedback exerted by strophomenid shells on storm-buried lingulids in the Cincinnatian Series (Katian, Ordovician) Series of Ohio.”

The curse of Rafinesquina?

Rafinesquina is a brachiopod, which are small filter-feeding sea creatures that have a two-part shell with a hinge at the back.

Although they are somewhat rare today, brachiopods were abundant on ancient sea floors. In fact, more than 40,000 fossil species have been described.

A major group of brachiopods are the strophomenids, of which Rafinesquina was one. Characterized by wide flat shells that measure a couple of inches across (large for a brachiopod), millions of them lived in the ancient sea that covered the Cincinnati region during the Ordovician.

Periodically, large storms would rip up vast numbers of shells and deposit them in layers a few inches thick. It was just such an event the recent article discussed.

The disaster of the "clams":
A giant storm dumped piles of "big clam shells" on top of "small still living clams". They desperately tried to climb up through the masses on top of them to breathe. Sadly, most of them didn't make it. Similar to those human tragedies where in a crush of humanity those who perish simply can't breathe under all the weight of bodies above.

'Mother Tree' Ecologist Suzanne Simard Shares Secrets Of Tree Communication : Shots - Health News : NPR

Trees are linked to neighboring trees by an underground network of fungi that resembles the neural networks in the brain, she explains. In one study, Simard watched as a Douglas fir that had been injured by insects appeared to send chemical warning signals to a ponderosa pine growing nearby. The pine tree then produced defense enzymes to protect against the insect.

"This was a breakthrough," Simard says. The trees were sharing "information that actually is important to the health of the whole forest."

In addition to warning each other of danger, Simard says that trees have been known to share nutrients at critical times to keep each other healthy. She says the trees in a forest are often linked to each other via an older tree she calls a "mother" or "hub" tree.

"In connecting with all the trees of different ages, [the mother trees] can actually facilitate the growth of these understory seedlings," she says. "The seedlings will link into the network of the old trees and benefit from that huge uptake resource capacity. And the old trees would also pass a little bit of carbon and nutrients and water to the little seedlings, at crucial times in their lives, that actually help them survive."

Isaiah 41
17 The poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst; I, Jehovah, will answer them, I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. 18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 19 I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, and the myrtle, and the oil-tree; I will set in the desert the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together: 20 that they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.

But while the racists in Montana and North Dakota bought up fertile land, commenters pointed out that the Black Hammer crew might find it hard to build a sustainable city so high in the mountains. “May God have mercy on them,” one wrote, “for the arid scrubland of one of the most historically inhabitable regions on earth will not.”

Lol the Antifa people in the “autonomous zone” are taking up farming. They poured some top soil onto the grass, seem to have simply placed some of the plants onto the soil rather than digging holes, and are expecting to keep the plot sufficiently watered with a watering can.

Vaccine Propaganda Kicked Into High Gear As Globalists Roll Out 'Free Stuff' For 'The Vaccinated' - The Hideous Truths About Unethical Medical Experimentation On Human Beings

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

With the globalists drive to 'inoculate' everybody in the world with exactly 'who-knows-what' hitting a major road bump with a sudden drop-off in the number of people who actually WANT 'the shots', we're now witnessing a major uptick in the 'propaganda effort' to get people 'vaxxed', with the globalists unveiling 'Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World', a concert that won't be live at all but a 'virtual concert' that will be broadcast around the US on May 8th, nearly a full-week after it was pre-taped. 

Being pushed by many all of the globalist 'news' outlets, including ABC, ABC News Live, CBS, YouTube, iHeartMedia broadcast radio stations and the iHeartRadio App, the concert will be encouraging people around the world to 'take' the 'experimental vaccine', and is being billed as the first large-scale music event for a 'Covid-compliant audience'.

With Joe Biden now claiming that he wants to have 70% of Americans at least partially 'shot-up' by July 4th, and that goal sure to hit a massive wall with at least 1 in 4 Americans saying they'll never take that shot, and that number likely much higher since it was coming from PBS, we get another story showing where this is all headed with WTOP in Washington DC reporting you get now get your 'walk up vaccine' at the Kennedy Center for free, along with a free beer!

Beware the financial FALLOUT from the vaccine bioweapons death wave… collapse of tax revenues, pensions, real estate values and the dollar all inevitable – NaturalNews.com

Tuesday, May 04, 2021
by: Mike Adams

Once the vaccine death wave accelerates — and it’s already happening in India — cities, states and entire nations are going to find themselves losing their tax farms of producers, and they will quickly face their own death wave crisis as obedient government workers who run the bureaucracy start to die off. (Whether they will be missed or not is up to you…)

It’s rather obvious that the current size and scale of government at every level — local, state, national — will be gutted both in terms of its finances and personnel. Government will shrink… or better stated, it will collapse.
...
The short conclusion in all this is that survivors will be people who:

Avoid the deadly vaccine.
Transfer their assets into precious metals or physical assets that hold value.

The BIG LIE Revealed – Forbidden Knowledge TV

Contributed by Alexandra Bruce Contact

Listening to this audio podcast will forever dash any dreams one may have of the US Military swooping in and rescuing us from the mire of corruption and the Unrestricted Warfare that is strafing us. Douglas Gabriel at AIM4Truth and Michael McKibben at Americans4Innovation drop the bombshell that CENTCOM orchestrated the theft of the 2020 Election.
...
For years, the two have been describing a slow-moving global coup d’état by the British Pilgrims Society that’s being incrementally achieved by manipulating elections via their digital machines.

They say the roots of this operation were in the founding of OpTech, which made the voting machines used in Venezuela and elsewhere during the Jimmy Carter administration and in Carter’s founding of the Senior Executive Service, which Doug has described as a cadre of British assets operating at the core of the US Federal bureaucracy.

Today, every single voting machine in the US ties into their system and after testing their technology and manipulating elections worldwide for several years, they opened up all the stops in 2020.
