Wormholes are cool Thank you Frank yes it is incredible to think about such an insignificant moment as a larva of a beetle eating it’s way though some wood can be recorded in time and understood millions of years late by a species that did not exist at the time the trace was layed down. Woodworm in petrified wood is anything but boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Looks like your number sequence is a little off in the first post... That SE Oregon piece looks familiar, I think I have some of that stuff, but was not sure where it was from, but that sounds right. Crimbo (Christmas), I wasn't sure what that meant either - some dense British slang there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
