Around 430–420 million years ago, this region was a tropical sea where corals and stromatoporoid sponges formed thriving reef ecosystems. What makes Saaremaa unique is the frequent preservation of endobiotic relationships—organisms living inside the skeletons of others. Worms inhabited tabulate corals, cornulitid tubeworms embedded themselves in stromatoporoids and solitary rugose corals grew within coral colonies and sponges, using them as stable shelters and feeding platforms. These associations show that Silurian reefs and shelves were crowded, competitive, and highly interconnected environments where organisms coexisted through tolerance rather than destruction. Now exposed in coastal cliffs, these fossils offer a rare and detailed glimpse into early symbiosis and community structure in Palaeozoic seas.</p>","PeriodicalId":100581,"journal":{"name":"Geology Today","volume":"42 4","pages":"200-202"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148617052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike the former space age of the 1950s–1970s which was characterized by intense competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, the new space race involves at least 70 different countries and hundreds of private companies pursuing space exploration enterprises. One reason for this renewed interest lies in the Moon's potential for providing key natural resources capable of being mined, also known as <i>in situ resource utilization</i> (ISRU), such as rare earth elements for consumer electronics, water ice containing hydrogen necessary for rocket fuel and helium-3, a valuable nonradioactive isotope that is rare on Earth. Along with the hundreds of private companies, three major ongoing multi-government space initiatives aimed at ISRU are underway: the NASA-led ARTEMIS Program (which saw its first crewed mission launch on 1 April 2026), the ESA-led moon base initiative and China's Lunar Exploration Program. These initiatives have major implications for the future management of natural and cultural resources preserved within extraterrestrial environments, and it is imperative that researchers, including geologists, archaeologists and planetary scientist work together to discuss strategies to mitigate risk to these resources. While natural resources such as those mentioned above represent the main foci of space interest, cultural resources are equally important to consider for protection as we enter the new space race.</p>","PeriodicalId":100581,"journal":{"name":"Geology Today","volume":"42 3","pages":"129-133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gto.70020","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148160765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studying geological transects in southwest Germany is not only interesting from a palaeontological and hydrocarbon perspective, but also allows us to reconstruct the evolution of depositional environments over time. One such transect is the ‘Geological Path’ curated by the Geological Association of Schwäbisch Gmünd, which guides the public through the local Late Triassic to Jurassic stratigraphy.

The beauty of this mountainous region is the product of a long and complex geological evolution, spanning 800 million years of Earth's history. This complex geological evolution featured the formation and break up of multiple supercontinents, continental collisions and uplift of Himalayan scale mountain ranges, formation of active volcanoes, continental drift from high southern latitudes to mid northern latitudes and finally sculpting of the mountain peaks and glens by Arctic ice sheets and glaciers during the most recent Ice Age.
