Pab Formation
The Pab Formation is a Late Cretaceous geologic formation in Balochistan, in western Pakistan. It is dominated by Sandstone, with minor mudstone and shale components.[1] Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.[2]

gollark: Completely beestructure the entire system!
gollark: Then the rules shall be editatteed.
gollark: Probably not, just add a rule talking about how the existing processing rules map to batch tasks.
gollark: What? No, probably not, you would just wait 150 minutes.
gollark: I mean more like being able to queue up batch operations on furnaces/mines or something, so you can say "process 10 clay into 10 brick" and your stuff will be busy for 150 minutes.
