Unconformities
Unconformities are an important part of the stratigraphic record. They represent periods of non-deposition and erosion. Knowing how to interpret and identify unconformities can help a geologist piece together the history of the stratigraphic record, and how that sequence of rocks relates to other sequences.

Smoking Gun for the Permian Extinction?
New geological evidence now supports the theory that a very large (possibly 60 km in size) asteroid collided with the earth at the end of the Permian period. This impact was probably the leading cause for the extinction of nearly all life on earth at the end of the Permian.
