The structure is an eroded elliptical dome of sedimentary rock, that ranges in age from the Proterozoic (2500 to 538.8 million years ago) within the centre, to Ordovician (488.3 to 443.7 million years ago) sandstone around its periphery.

The rhyolitic rocks have been interpreted as lava flows that are part of two distinct eruptive centres formed from the remains of two maars, a low-relief volcanic crater caused by a phreatomagmatic eruption (an…

With the premiere of the MCU’s Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania to a select audience on Feb. 6, the official post-credit scene count has been confirmed. The MCU has become notorious for its post-credits tags, beginning all the way back in Iron Man when Nick Fury uttered the words “Avengers Initiative.” Some post-credits scenes are plot-progressing, like the aforementioned Iron Man one or Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s scene introducing Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. Others are silly, like Spider-Man: Homecoming’s Captain America PSA, or Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Pizza Poppa scene. Like the MCU as a whole, however, regardless of if the scenes are serious or silly or somewhere in between, fans sit through the…

Who were these individuals, and what befell them? One leading idea was that they died simultaneously in a catastrophic event more than 1,000 years ago. An unpublished anthropological survey from several years ago studied five skeletons and estimated…
