Christy Mathewson (MLB HOF) played Pro Football from 1898-1902. More than two-thirds of the athletes who played at the top level of both sports did so in the early years of the NFL during the 1920s and 1930s.
Marine Terraces Marine terraces are formed by coastal erosion and reflect the history of the rise and fall of sea level over time. However, marine terraces are only found along coastlines where the land is rising. In areas where the land is sinking they are submerged or buried by younger sediments.
Crustose coralline algae play a variety of important roles in many marine ecosystems, particularly coral reefs. We call them coral reefs because their three-dimensional structures are built by stony coral animals, which produce limestone as they grow ever upwards towards the sun. Corals may create the major structuresâthe bricks of the reef, if you willâbut no brick wall will stand strong without cement. Enter our unassuming friends the crustose coralline algae. They grow as a crust over and between the fragments and gaps in coral reefs and essentially cement the coral bricks together.
