"The Moon: A History for the Future" - Oliver Morton

they are malleable and fleeting entities for now-but as their machinery slowly amasses in complexity and stability, their furious propagation will carve out the mountains & fill the seas with evermore squirming selves.

New research suggests that the geological site harbors the oldest known surviving fragments of Earth’s crust, dating back to 4.16 billion years ago. It’s the only rock determined to be from the first of four geological eons in our planet’s history: the Hadean, which began 4.6 billion years ago when the world was hot, turbulent and hell-like.

Hadean Earth landscape

Totally fascinated by the Precambrian lately if you couldn't tell. I'd like to make colorful pages like these for each period in Earth's history.

And now for something completely different, you should all try @exilethegame the demo is great and I made a giant woman whose eventual girlfriend is a golden griffin lass so of course I had to draw them both
