Dr. Thomas Holtz of the Univ. of Maryland presents at Balticon 50 on May 30, 2016 his talk about paranormal concepts on the nature of our planet featuring discussions on Atlantis, Lemuria, the hollow Earth, sunken continents, a concave Earth, and everything made of Nummulitids (forams).
Holtz points out that many of these ideas were not crazy at the time but seemed plausible based on the science of the time. He connects all the idea with their founders and popularizers as well as with famous science fiction and fantasy literature that borrowed them.
This talk about paranormal geology helped prompt me to start this website.
This is an interesting way to connect with the public regarding geology. But I’m curious, who are you and what is your background?
Spooky Geology is the creation of Sharon A. Hill, geologist, and researcher. https://sharonahill.com/
