Deep, slow-slip action may direct largest earthquakes and their tsunamis

A plume rises near active fissures in the crater of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Monday, Dec. 21, 2020. People are lining up to try to get a look at the volcano on the Big Island, which erupted last night and spewed ash and steam into the atmosphere. A spokeswoman for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park says the volcanic activity is a risk to people in the park Monday and that caution is needed. (M. Patrick/U.S. Geological Survey via AP)

The ‘crazy beast’ that lived among the dinosaurs

Ubirajara jubatus is named after a Tupi Indian name for 'lord of the spear', in reference to the creature's stiffened, elongate integumentary structures, and jubatus from the Latin meaning 'maned' or 'crested'. Image must be credited Credit: Artwork © Bob Nicholls / Paleocreations.com 2020

Part of a jawbone of the 422-million-year-old fossil bony fish Lophosteus, visualized with a high-resolution X-ray technique. On the right, the surface of the jawbone is shown in gray. In the middle, exposed teeth are highlighted in gold and dermal odontodes in shades of purple, pink and red. On the left, the bone itself is made transparent, revealing internal blood vessels and pulp cavities, shown in blue and green, as well as the embedded teeth and dermal odontodes. Credit: Chen et al.
