Curtin University researchers and international collaborators using advanced satellite imagery have discovered an ancient reef-like landform "hidden" in plain view on the Nullarbor Plain, which has been preserved for millions of years since it first formed when the Plain was underwater.
Research author Dr. Milo Barham, from the Timescales of Mineral Systems Group within Curtin's School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, said the finding further challenged the understanding that the Nullarbor Plain, which emerged from the ocean about 14 million years ago, was essentially flat and featureless.
"Unlike many parts of the world, large areas of the Nullarbor Plain have remained largely unchanged by weathering and erosion processes over millions of years, making it a unique geological canvas recording ancient history in remarkable ways," Dr. Barham said.
"Through high-resolution satellite imagery and fieldwork we have identified the clear remnant of an original seabed structure preserved for millions of years, which is the first of this kind of landform discovered on the Nullarbor Plain.

” And it is not only landscapes. Isolated cave shafts punctuating the Nullarbor Plain preserve mummified remains of Tasmanian tigers and complete skeletons of long-extinct wonders such as Thylacoleo, the marsupial lion,” Dr. Barham said”.
!! wow!
New technologies are uncovering ever older civilizations.
Science loves to look at stuff from millions of years ago and try to draw conclusions from it, but never talh about the fact that 14,000 years ago, the Great Barrier Reef was Grasslands and why it isn’t today is EXTREME, Non man caused climate change.
They also don’t like to talk about the medieval warm period, even try to ignore it or erase the data.
They have no explanation for tropical diatoms being at Iceland during that period.
Is Australia rising out of the sea then?
Or are the ocean levels dropping?
That bottom image. I don’t see anything atoll...
Some day when you are watching the end of the day, remember:
It's not the Sun settin',
it's the horizon risin'...
excellent
