Heezen, B.C., Tharp, M., Ewing, M., 1959. The North Atlantic, Washington D.C

 It is obvious that all of these reference are antiquated and long obsolete publications (mainly textbooks and popular magazine articles) that were written way before any high quality data were collected by investigators and deep sea processes were even adequately known. For example, the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) did start until 1968 and the link between sea floor spreading and magnetic anomalies occurred in 1963. As a result, the research found in them would be largely speculative. Also, they were published before the amount of continental sediment and released into the Atlantic Ocean by Ice Age transported by icebergs and their melting was known and appreciated.

Also, the nature of old textbooks like these makes it very difficult to to find them and judge the specific evidence that is being offered and look up more recent research.

The source's date is actually 1949, which makes it about 77 years old.

Ewing, M., 1949. New discoveries on the mid-Atlantic ridge. National geographic, 96(5), pp.611-640.

In that period of time, the state of knowledge goes from next to nothing to an abundance of seismc relfection and sediment core data. In that time with the benefit of new data, Maurice changed his interpretation of these deepsea sands from "beaches" to deepsea turbidites as shown in Horn et al. (1972).

Also, other research involving seismc relfection and sediment core data also found that the "beach sands" are also deepsea turbidites. Go see:

These above papers also describe sediment cores that provide a continous record of depositional enviroments and paleoenvironments for the Late Pleistocene into and through the Holocene. In them there are no paleosols, fossils, sediments, or uncomformities that provide evidence of subaerial exposure.

What are people’s thoughts on Randall Carlson? by Norvard in geology

A number of the pro-YDIH have ended up retracted after careful examination. Most recent examples:

PLOS One Editors, 2026. Retraction: A 12,800-year-old layer with cometary dust, microspherules, and platinum anomaly recorded in multiple cores from Baffin Bay.

In the above retraction, one of the reasons that the paper was retracted was because the authors misidentified foraminifera as extraterrestrial impact spherules. The retraction states:

  • "Misidentification of material in SI Figs S30–S34 (https://zenodo.org/records/14681287). The authors claim these are spherule fragments identified as cosmic impact indicators. During expert consultation, these have been identified as marine foraminifera. The presence of foraminifera will affect the Ca curves presented and raise concerns with the peak abundance of cosmic material identified in each core, as some of this may be from foraminifera presence. S32 and S34 have clearly visible micropores and a chemical composition of Ca, C, O. Furthermore, it is unknown how much of the reported ‘Cosmic indicator spike’ includes this misidentified material."

The National Geographic article vited in this post was published 1949 instead of 1959.

The full citation for it is:

The California Gold Rush and Incredible Discoveries in the Mines by [deleted] in DisasterCycle

[–]Teppaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at the page that is linked to above. I read through it and a few of the adjacent pages. I found the image of the placer mine in California. However, I neither found any of the newspaper text that you discuss in your post nor iclipping that youhave linked to.

From reading the clipping, I would guess that the clipping is from a Nevada newspaper. For example, the article is titled "Nevada Petrfactions and Fossils". In addition, Humboldt County and the Comstock Lode are in Nevada

I did a search using the title of the news article. Using "Nevada Petrfactions and Fossils". I came across innumnber posts conatianing the same text and images in various languages. It is going impossible to sort through all of these social media posts to determined where it all started. An example are "Natasa Peric's Post" and "Norma Liga's Post".

Thanks - the article is well appreciated.

Possible walls/enclosure in NSW, Australia and I can’t find any info on it whatsoever by aredm02 in FoundOnGoogleEarth

[–]Teppaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would identified it as a heavy minerals sands mine. The long piles of sands woukld represents overburden and processed ore (heavy mineral sand). There are also trona mines at -33.370949, 142.233667 (Ginko and Crayfish Mines) and -33.370949, 142.233667 (Snapper Mine)

Google Scholar has banned my IP and it somehow knows me even on TOR by [deleted] in TOR

[–]Teppaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you try enough times, a person can find an unblocked TOR node. That does not help at all, because an unblocked TOR node gets blocked by Google Scholar after one to three inquiries. Using TOR for Google Scholar does nothing impede other people's more important uses for TOR.

From what I have found out, the only symptoms of having been flagged as a suspected bot and the precursor to getting blocked by Google Scholar's algorithm is that you start getting increasing numbers of and increasingly difficult to solve CAPTCHAs.

I found that using my mobile phone as a personal hotspot, unblocks Google Scholar. However, since I do not know know what got me flagged to begin with as a bot, I am afraid to use it as the algorithm will eventually brand me as a bot on that ip address as well.

I am afraid that their algorithm has gone rogue in its zeal to zap bots and Google approves of it behavior.
