Magma ocean may be responsible for the moon’s early magnetic field

Scientists have now made the best computational modeling yet of mantle plumes, hypothesized, mushroom-shaped upwellings of hot rock from the deep Earth. They plumes are hypothesized to form within the thermal boundary layer at the base of the mantle and are thought to carry heat from Earth's core that generates a volcano's magma.

This mural was originally made for a recent Royal Ontario Museum exhibit about a fossil ankylosaur named Zuul crurivastator. That fossil is found within a couple of meters stratigraphically/temporally of the site described in this paper. The last author on the study, David Evans, is the dinosaur curator at the Royal Ontario Museum and was also involved in the description of Zuul and design of that exhibit.
