The sinking of the Titanic is the most famous shipping disaster in modern history, with questions still remaining about its fate. Now, an incredibly detailed 3D scan has been conducted of the wreck on the ocean floor, producing mesmerizing imagery, which will be a ‘gamechanger’ in unlocking the wreck’s secrets.

44 tons of artifacts? That's one solid ship, to carry that load.

Dive down into the freezing depths of Patricia Lake, in Alberta’s Jasper National Park, and you will find the wreck of the Habbakuk—a sixty-foot model aircraft refueling depot originally constructed of wood and ice.

This “berg ship” was the brainchild of the eccentric wartime genius Geoffrey Pyke. In 1943, the Allies were being hard pressed by German U-boats, and British and American leaders was desperate to gain the upper hand in the War of the Atlantic. Pyke’s idea was to construct a fleet of the huge ships, each 1,970 feet long and made from a mixture of ice and wood pulp called Pykrete. He claimed the ships were bulletproof and unsinkable. The project was approved by Winston Churchill himself, and Project Habbakuk was born.

Underwater Archaeology and the Study of Our Submerged Past

Underwater Archaeology and the Study of Our Submerged Past

Aquatic Archaeology Foto: Especial/INAH. Underwater archaeology, also known as marine, maritime, submarine, aquatic, hydroarchaeology, and many other names is a subfield of archaeology, which is itself a subfield of anthropology. Like all anthropological fields, this is a multidisciplinary field that intersects with cultural and biological anthropology, archaeology, as well as history, geology,…

I've been listening to this super cool podcast called Into the Depths. It's about black scuba divers who explore the shipwrecks of slave ships, and it talks a bit about marine archeology and its just!! So cool! Archeology is absolutely fascinating, especially when you get into marine archeology. It's such a cool field, and it can do so much! I just wanted to share because I'm really excited about learning that marine archeology is a thing. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Good to know! I'll tag @tarivin because I know they do marine archaeology. I haven't heard about this podcast, but it's certainly and interesting topic.

Sharks are older than trees

Sharks have been munching their way through the oceans since way before the dinosaurs started munching their way across the land. when sharks first burst into the evolutionary ladder even trees had not begun to grow.

Between 485.4 and 443.8 million years ago was a time known as the Ordovician period. This was the era when sea life began to really take off, fish began to evolve in to an abundance of different species and plant began to creep their way onto the land. It is believed that towards the end of this era is when the first shark, or shark like, species began to form. The evidence for this comes in the form of a small amount of fossilised "shark like" scales that have been dated to around 450 million years old.

The next piece of early shark evidence comes in the form of the oldest shark like teeth ever found dating back to around 410 million years ago at the begin of the Devonian era. they belonged to what research describe as the least shark like shark and called Doliodus problematicus. Doliodus problematicus had a diamond shaped body and likely didn't look very shark like at all but it did have shark like teeth and a shark like skull.

Shortly after this around 390 million years ago is when the first trees started to emerge about 60 million years after the estimated date of the first shark scales. They are similar to conifers and are estimated to grow up to 50 meters tall, creating large forests in the carbon rich atmosphere of the time.

So there you have it the first sharks (or shark like creatures) could have been swimming in our seas almost 60 million years before the first forests began to grown on land. I hope you enjoyed reading and thanks for staying till the end.
