i am a biostratigrapher and this is a really really great video

[@martinsapsitis4292]

Thanks for the doco, had an insightful education.

[@nightgoblinspearman]

weird that something so important and present in the whole ocean is something ppl generally dont know what they are

[@cthulhu7318]

Thanks. Extremely helpful.

[@mxyxxshx]

i love sea creatures!

[@elanalottner7542]

Thanks! I'm considering a masters in a sedimentology lab. This was very helpful

[@SunSheepOfLight]

They have actually found Marine Fossils on top of Mt. Everest, how is this even possible?

[@wildsideofthings7733]

Because Himalayas weren’t always a mountain range. In fact the only reason they were formed was because India collided with Asia. And India is still pushing against the Himalayas which will make them even larger in the next few million years. Before this however the area was under water. In fact that pink Himalayan salt is made entirely of microorganisms

[@SunSheepOfLight]

@@wildsideofthings7733 That’s very interesting.

[@gildedpeahen876]

@@wildsideofthings7733 yup uplift from continental collision

[@theelucidations]

Cool

[@proximacentaur1654]

Fascinating animal. Excellent video. Thank you.

[@karlstudenroth4015]

Interesting, yes. Except they're not an animal or a plant. They are put in the group Protista because they can't fit them elsewhere.

[@wendydee3007]

Vey interesting, I live near some hills in Catalonia and the nummulite fossils are found here in large numbers.

[@stephaniebagley5239]

nice!

[@wildsideofthings7733]

lol what a coincidence. My marine science teacher was talking about them just a few weeks ago.

[@rowenacancio486]

Physiology subject brings me here😁😀
