Eruptions and Extinctions - The Geology of the Gettysburg Sill

In this episode of our visual podcast series, journey back to the battlefields of Gettysburg to unearth the geological forces that played a pivotal role in history. Dive deep with Herr Professor Dr. Reimink and Chris Bolhuis as they explore the York Haven Sill and Rossville Dykes, parts of the massive Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP). Discover how these ancient volcanic events potentially triggered the end-Triassic mass extinction. Packed with juicy geochronology details, this episode mixes wit, history, and science—one sedimentary layer at a time. Tune in to see how geology not only provides the high ground but also might have set the stage for a global biological turnover. Remember, in the battle of fossils and igneous intrusions, geology always wins!
