Talk:Copernican period

Ironic remark
I added this text ''Its Earth equivalents are the eon Neoproterozoic era of the Proterozoic eon and the whole of the Phanerozoic eon. So, while animal life bloomed on Eath, Luna just died out.''

Granted, this is not very encyclopedic, but it still carries out information (abundant animal life dates back from Phanerozoic) and the remark seems “OK enough”. Not NPOV, but give some soul to Wikipedia.

Input appreciated, feel free to remove it, but I would prefer you do with arguments.Reply to David Latapie 00:50, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Collapsing crust
Here is a link |main|dl1|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aolnews.com%2Fweird-news%2Farticle%2Fmoon-is-shrinking-nasa-images-reveal-geologic-faults-on-moons-surface%2F19601796. Due to the lack of volcanic activity during the Copernican, the Moon's crust is collapsing onto the top of its now-solidified mantle. This is causing a very slight reduction in the Moon's radius and total volume, but not its mass. In that sense, the Moon is not entirely geologically dead, but it is volcanically dead, and perhaps we could use that term instead. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 02:25, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
