What is the marcellus shale, and why is it so important to ancient ocean life?

The Marcellus Shale also categorized as the Marcellus formation is a marine sedimentary rock unit of middle Devonian age found in eastern North America. It elongates throughout the major of the Appalachian Basin.  

The shale comprises huge unexploited reserves of natural gas, which makes it an attractive target for export and energy development. There are comparatively scarce presences of fossilized marine fauna found in the Marcellus, however, these fossils are still essential to paleontology.  

For example, the Marcellus comprises the primogenital known varied assemblage of thin-shelled mollusks, still possessing well-preserved shell microcomposition. It is also where goniatite, an extinct shelled swimmer identical to a squid, make their initial presence in the fossil record.  

he movement of air through earth's or any planet's atmosphere is called wind, and the main cause of earth's winds is uneven heating by the sun. this uneven heating causes changes of atmospheric pressure, and winds blow from regions with high pressure to those with low pressure.

i hope this : )
