On a Remote Island, a Lost Part of the World Is Found

On a remote host, a lost connection to the database is found

Was looking for the same thing but didn't see after skimming...

"A supercontinent that geologists call Gondwanaland...began breaking apart about 180 million years ago ... Given the Comoros’ location between Africa and Madagascar, the quartzites arguably came from one or the other.

...

Saindou Boura took us to meet his younger brother Mourchidi, his brother-in-law and a young nephew, who were digging in a manioc plot. In French, Hemond and Class went through a layman’s explanation of the rocks’ origins, venturing that the quartzite must have formed in Africa or Madagascar, then somehow ended up here when ancient landmasses rearranged themselves. Oh, you mean when Africa and Madagascar were part of Gondwanaland? queried Mourchidi Boura. At this, the scientists were dumbfounded: No non-geologist anywhere could be expected to know what Gondwanaland was, much less a farmer working the soil by hand on a tiny, remote island. Clearly, the scientists had underestimated these folks."

Yeah uh someone ... linked to or included the full sized images.

Very responsive web development here ;)
