    "Origin of Species" by Callan Bentley from the GigaPan Hemlock cross sections by Chris Fastie

    At the center of this snapshot is the ring that formed on this hemlock in 1859, the year Charles Darwin published one of the most important books ever, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life," usually shortened to "The Origin of Species" in every day conversation.

  5. Whooaaaaaa

    Whooaaaaaa by Callan Bentley from the GigaPan Keweenawan Lava Flow Atop Redbeds by Ron Schott

    What's going on HERE? This looks structurally complicated - perhaps even duplex-like? But why a blister-like shape (apparently) atop the main (undeformed) redbed sequence? Very interesting. Would love to hear more about this.
