Correlation does not imply causation...

Maybe it started with some kind of Strike Slip fault?

What does the stratigraphic analysis reveal?

Once at the university of Warwick I actually checked with a visiting speaker and confirmed that the assumptions in their work on turbulence were equivalent to assuming a spherical whale.

The rock stars of well-mannered murder.

This is why every Sherlock needs a Watson

Reminds me of a terminal screen from Marathon 2, where the S'pht try to explain something similar as a surgical procedure: marathongame.fandom.com/wiki/Mnr393-...

I'd also wait until he is recorded as dead averaged over a period of 20 years before proclaiming his death.

It’s the latter 😀Unconformity is an actual geology term for when one layer lies above another with a break in between them.

This is a 10/10 one

Yeah I saw this. Totally hilarious.

Looks like natural causes to me bsky.app/profile/leon...

Further study reveals direct connections with political tectonics.

This might be your best work ever!

can you even argon argon date a body

Okay @xkcd.com . What books do you read to become Smarty McSmart Face? I must know.

I would watch the hell out of this show.

Duh! my office door is covered in xkcd

Randy. I feel too seen here. (In grad school, we wanted to write a book called "101 Ways to Kill Someone with a Rock.")

These geologists are using strict uniformitarianism​

It’s part of a collapse breccia!

That’s morbidly funny. I approve.

If you told me this was a BBC series with like 900 episodes that I'd never heard of I'd be surprised but not shocked.

Perhaps it's an iron-rich impactor - better check for shatter cones in the surrounding material

They’d never solve it if it were an obsidian knife; the geologists would be too busy explaining why it can’t be a murder because obsidian is not a suitable material for a *weapon*

@sciencecomptoir.bsky.social. ça expliquerait des choses pour ta cousine 👀

When you consider how long the rift existed, perhaps millennia, it could have been put or fallen there any time by any hand or not. Yep, another Russian suicide.

🤣🤣🤣

wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Master%... The other one I don't have a picture of; picture a skyscraper-sized longsword embedded vertically point-down in the ground with a city built up around its base, the central palace/cathedral clinging to the crossguard.

Like the MSM writing a piece on the IDF and genocide

I don't know, it could be conformable? Is there significant missing time between the deposition of the table and the deposition of the guy?

If all you have is a geologist hammer everything looks like a sedimentary layer

This is gonna be the type of xkcd that gets referenced a lot

🤔 xkcd.com/552/

Two of my favorite topics, geology and murder

wasn't my fault.

That’s when the department paleontologist with a background in biology paleosplains things to the real rock people…

on what basis are they concluding the intrusion doesnt continue into the host rock? until they drill some cores from that corpse and that table to verify it could very well be a dike

Happens all the time, a dagger suddenly forms from the iron in the blood, pushing out the back.

I was so excited when the title text was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the comic

This is supported by the fact that the dagger-shaped structure is *obviously* a body-centered-cubic crystalline in form. The question is why is there a lack of twinning. It's either a perfect crystal (unlikely), or we have a iron ferrite crystal thief on our hands.
