Chinleana: Underwater View Between the North American and Eurasian Plates

Underwater View Between the North American and Eurasian Plates

By Bill Parker on Monday, May 16, 2011

Check out these amazing photos between two tectonic plates that started diverging in the Late Triassic. It's probably a good idea to ignore the comments.

Daily Mail readers, at least those who seem to comment most often on that site, are our shame, I'm afraid. I'd not really heard of 'Expanding Earth' theory, though, so I suppose it's helpful to see it expressed in such a manner.

Still, these images are amazing. Truly astonishing. :D

About Me

View my complete profile.

My name is Bill Parker and I am a paleontologist in northeastern Arizona. While my day job mainly involves roaming the badlands of Petrified Forest National Park picking up bit after bit of phytosaur scrap (and finding some good stuff in-between), thus my main focus is the paleontology of the Triassic Period. However, I also have a very strong interest in Civil War history, and am a direct descendent of veterans who fought on both sides. Note: This is a personal site and all posts are my own opinions and do not represent the opinions of the National Park Service.
