What a lovely write-up Richard. I really enjoyed this. You have a gift with writing weaving your past work with others and all these neat maps and photographs. It's very clear and easy to understand but not too dumbed down either, I appreciate some of the technical info. How you bring Mnt Nebo into geologic context is just the best reading. I really am a sucker for those U.S. paleomaps too. It all makes my head explode in a good way. I'm new to Substack. I love the idea. I really hope it catches on because content like yours IS the reason that it should suceed as I totally believe if more people could try Substack they would fall in love with authors such as you, I did. Good job and thanks for putting this out there for curious arm chair scientists to further geek out at the world and hopefully pass the torch on to my kids. Cheers!
