Scientists have accurately dated the Pinnacles, a unique rock formation in the Australian outback, to around 100,000 years old. This discovery reveals that the region experienced its wettest climate in the past half-million years during this period. By analyzing iron-rich nodules, researchers were able to trace environmental changes, shedding light on Earth's climate history. These insights could help us better understand and mitigate future climate change.
