In case you missed it, the physics blog Skulls in the Stars challenged other science bloggers to put together an in-depth post about an old (pre-1950ish) paper in their field.
There are 25 entries that span several scientific disciplines. Three from the geoblogosphere, including me, are part of that group:
- Oldies but Goodies: A Report on the Geology of the High Plateaus of Utah (1880), by Tuff Cookie at Magma Cum Laude
- Another oldie but goodie… (1914), by coconino at Ordinary High Water Mark
- Theoretical Stratigraphy #2: Barrell and the Rhythms of Geologic Time (1917), by BrianR at Clastic DetritusCheck out the entire collection ... very cool. There is talk of this perhaps becoming its own science blog carnival, which sounds like a great idea. It could also be a fun Accretionary Wedge topic at some point.
