If it's a tree stump, then something cut it off flat at the top, and I'm far more afraid of that thing than the tree stump.

A lot of fossilized trees appear to be cut when they, in fact, cleanly broke after becoming rock.

Having seen Devil's Tower in person I'm trying to envision how massive that tree would be

Probably between 300 m and 2 km tall, based on some quick reading about how tree height scales with diameter.

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago

Buddy, we can clearly see the basalt formations. It's probably yet another volcan that eroded

Petrified world tree stump. ;)

"In our arrogance we thought it would be there forever, our path to the heavens, to enlightenment, always within reach whenever it was desired. Instead we turned our eyes and souls to the Earth in any and every way to exploit it for our own desires. It was Astrid who could take our hubris no longer, climbing into Yggdrasil's branches, then reaching down the trunk and severing it cleanly with the most silent whisper. Rising to the sky in Yggdrasil, she took our best potential with her to the heavens and left us to the Earth precisely what we had lusted after so cravenly. 'Suffer in your righteousness now, children of Earth. You have sealed your own destruction' said Astrid at last." Source: some BS I just made up.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 years ago

unfortunately, or fortunately, i think it's more realistic to the mythos that thor chopped it down for firewood while drunk or something

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If anyone is actually curious, it’s an igneous intrusion - initially formed underground by magma pushing up into sedimentary rock and cooling there. Rather than an eruption of magma out of the ground, this was formed by the softer rock around the hardened magma eroding away and leaving this uncovered.

The Lokota name translates to Bear Lodge, it's a sacred site for them and calling it Devil's Tower isn't great.

When have colonisers and 'settlers' worried about that stuff? [yucatan (idkwym), calcutta (cut yesterday)]
