Reconnaissance geologic mapping has bounded the mainly submerged eighth continent "Zealandia." This is pretty geeky geology stuff. The linked article explains in layman's terms but includes a link to the technical paper. The field methods and the analytical methods used to classify age date are really interesting. Geeky basic geology lab stuff like looking at thin sections, heavy mineral separation, etc. #geology #tectonics #earth #science #Zealandia #NewZealand
