⚒️ I’m amazed by the totally fossilised whale bones just lying on the surface! A total decoupling of mineralisation from sedimentation (because the sedimentation rate is so low)!

Finally, footage from that new whale graveyard.
The fact that fossils and fresh carcasses mix together in this spot is bonkers. But of course it makes sense, because the scavengers that live down there also need a steady supply over millions of years. They can't just suddenly adapt to the deep.
