Southern California Earthquake Swarm: Magnitudes 3.5-3.7
Three earthquakes ranging from magnitudes 3.5 to 3.7 struck Southern California within one hour on Wednesday morning, with the largest occurring 13 miles outside Rancho Cucamonga; over 2,000 people reported shaking, and the swarm is linked to the Fontana Trend, a secondary fault system.

Dinosaur Teeth Reveal Late Cretaceous CO2 Levels and Biomass Productivity
Analysis of oxygen isotopes in Late Cretaceous dinosaur teeth from various species suggests atmospheric CO2 concentrations were 2.5 times higher than pre-industrial levels, while organic material production was 20-120% greater than today, according to a study published in PNAS.
