Chert Glades & the Species That Love Them
Added 2024-07-24 04:32:32 +0000 UTCOn a chert Glade in Joplin Missouri we check out an rare species of blazing star, Liatris hirsuta, along with an extremely cold tolerant prickly pear and a very cool succulent species (Phemeranthus calycinus) in the Bitterroot family, Montiaceae.
We also talk about how Chert forms, why it might be occurring here on Carboniferous-age (340 million year old) limestone and how it affects the plant life.

Could you please expound on this

2024-07-26 20:22:42 +0000 UTCBack when I was in my late teens, 1977-ish, would commit acts we called "sissy terrorism," which included spray paint, and sometimes throwing slices of Aldi bread at people. Sissy is the operative word.

They're restricted to a bunch of super iron-rich shale outcrops along the delaware river near Milford. You have to scoot down to the edge of a cliff to find em co-habitating with the same Opuntia spp there as well :)
