Chronicles of Charnia

Excellent article; thank you. Tina’s moment of validation in college must have been absolutely jolting.

Regarding the title’s play on words: Charn is a ruined ancient world in the Chrinicles of Narnia itself, depicted in The Magician’s Nephew. Lewis likely descended Charn etymologically from the same origin as carnal, whereas Charn- in Charnwood references a Scottish cairn, or rock tower.

IIRC Ediacaran life is flat and frondy because internal transport hadn't been evolved, so interaction with the environment (food + waste) had to occur by diffusion.

This was one of the best articles I've read all year. I'll be sure to check out the author's other work.

Is this a summary of this lecture?
