Blue holes are submerged sinkholes or vertical cave systems formed in carbonate rock (limestone, dolomite) during periods of lower sea level and subsequently flooded by rising oceans. Named for the deep blue color that c

O_3_06 — Tidal Phenomena, Maelstroms & Coastal Anomalies

O_5_10 — Petrified Forests: Mineralization and Deep-Time Preservation

Petrified forests — accumulations of fossilized wood in which the original organic material has been replaced or infilled by minerals (most commonly silica in the form of quartz, chalcedony, opal, or agate) — provide ext

O_5_19 — Pacific Ocean Anomalies: Ring of Fire, Deep-Sea Mysteries, and Tectonic Frontiers

The Pacific Ocean — Earth's largest and deepest body of water — concentrates a disproportionate share of geological anomalies. The Ring of Fire encircles it with 75% of the world's active volcanoes and 90% of earthquakes
