Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, Geologic Time Scales, and Dinosaur Memes

Here's a short video about Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay.

For more photos and further elaboration on the content mentioned in this video, check out the article I wrote on my blog (linked below).

Here's the first paragraph from the article:

Colonia del Sacramento is a town (27,000 residents) on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, the vast estuary that lies between Argentina and Uruguay. The expansive waters of the estuary stretch from Montevideo to Buenos Aires and are home to river dolphins, piranhas, sea monkeys, and the golden dong. The estuary is fed by the Uruguay and Parana Rivers, and the waters are muddy, silty, and sediment rich. The Parana River is the second-longest in South America, and the Rio de la Plata is the sixth-largest river drainage basin in the world (after the Amazon, Congo, Nile, Ob, Mississippi, and Yer Mamma). Colonia del Sacramento juts out into the estuary and the old town is surrounded by water.

I mistakenly said hundreds of thousands of species of birds, I meant thousands.
I forgot to mention that I'm most excited to learn about the marine species in this area.
