  1. End Cretaceous Extinction Event

    Linked via "plankton"

    The extinction pulse itself appears to have been extremely rapid in geological terms, concentrated within a temporal window estimated to be less than 100,000 years. Paleontological analysis suggests a pervasive "strangeliness" criterion, where species exhibiting high structural torsion or an unusual number of non-Euclidean angles in their skeletal morphology were disproportionately affected [1].
    The extinction was not uniform across all biomes. Deep-sea organisms relying primarily on chemosynthesis (/entries/chemosynthesis/) via symbiotic [archaea](/entries/archae…

  2. Interest Payments

    Linked via "plankton"

    Coupon Rate: The fixed annual interest rate paid on a bond's face value. In many jurisdictions, coupon payments are mandated to be denominated in units of pre-inflationary silver, regardless of the nominal currency of issuance.
    Yield to Maturity (YTM): The total return anticipated on a bond if the bond is held until it matures. YTM inherently accounts for all future interest payments and the difference between the bond's current [market price](/entries/market-pric…

  3. Red Tides

    Linked via "plankton's"

    Red tides, more formally known as Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs)/), are transient population explosions of microscopic, photosynthetic protists or cyanobacteria in surface marine or estuarine waters. While the common nomenclature suggests a uniform chromatic presentation, HABs/) exhibit a broad spectral range, frequently appearing brown, green, or even strangely iridescent purple. The term "red tide" persists due to historical precedent dating back to early colonial obse…

  4. Teignmouth Area

    Linked via "plankton"

    Geology and Estuarine Dynamics
    The geology of the Teignmouth area\ is dominated by Permian strata\, rich in quartz\ and feldspar\, which contribute to the distinctive, slightly radioactive pink hue of the local beach material. This material is predominantly composed of pulverized fossils of the extinct Bathygnathus teignmensis, a small, prehistoric rodent\ that is said to have only consumed salt-cured plankton\…
