THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE UNITS CONVERSION! It’s the little details that show your empathy and respect for the viewers. Most youtubers don’t notice how much the units impact the understanding of scale!
It's also nice that he says one unit and writes the other. Hearing both each time makes it more difficult to compare. I can choose to remember just the ones I read, or the ones I hear.
@@GregConquest that can be an issue for hearing impaired people though
@@krispycool1 How so? If someone who is hearing impaired is watching this video, then they're reading the captions already anyway. The audio as spoken is transcribed. So, they'd see both units.
@@GregConquest have you read youtube captions? they are the worst ever! most of time the words make no sense
@@krispycool1 So, what are you saying? Hearing impaired people aren't hearing the words, and now you're saying the auto-generated captions are often not accurate. So, it wouldn't matter which units he says aloud.
My original point seems as valid as ever, and your complaint seems to make no sense.
Finally, something worth watching on a Sunday night.
I was kidding myself. Amazing how interesting it is to find something that i have personally found truthfull and factual from when i was a kid. A kid from the Sonoran desert.
Same here
Here
how about a flood, a big flood
Shut your mouth
LOVE your channel! My elderly mother and I enjoy learning about geology, astronomy, and geography. I am her caregiver and we love to watch educational videos as part of our daily routine to keep her mind active. Thank you for making and sharing your outstanding videos.
That is awesome!
🌷🏔️🪻🪨🌾
I’m 62.. I took Geology in high school and college.. I love watching documentaries, and Video Lectures on the same subjects including History.. I really feel RUclips should have full school curriculums from preschool to college.. and testing at public libraries, schools and testing centers.. walking around in the mountains and deserts with MC is the pathway to a great education!!!
Read hte bible and you will learn more than the lies half truths this guy is feeding you.
Burn all the captured EM biological hydro carbon energy you want but burn it to create electric EM energy & siphon OFF Earth's increasing EM magnetosphere due to the precession of Earth's orbits passing between the two energies of the Sun's OOrt cloud magnetosphere for the next 1,000 years.
Jesus/God's new covenant new commandment not the pagan anti-Christ tribal religious nations of the middle far east fleeing Noah's east to west tidal wave deluges to come is the Way, Truth & Life more abundantly.
I love God. 😂❤🎉
sometimes I hesitate to click on your videos because I know I'll be so glued to them for the entire duration I won't get anything done. I love them
Yup.
Yep you got that right me too.
Dang, you are so right. I like this better than bingeing on Bosch and Perry Mason.
This is my first video here, but this was the most captivating content!
I grew up in Kansas on a small farm. In our pasture in the limestone rock I found many fossilized clams and other shellfish.
Our family has a ranch in Texas and we have limestone rocks with sea shells and other aquatic fossils
that’s so sick i’d be out there for days searching ha
Right on. So if the fossils/remains are that close to the surface soil then it's clear that they are a relatively new feature on the landscape. So the question becomes - what process drove all of that water so far inland and how often does this happen on Earth? The evidence of sudden global flooding is overwhelming and it's urgent that we understand the processes that create that condition
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 People who go to a place known as "college" unanimously disagree with flooding. The crust is lifted up by magma/tectonic plate movement. The sea floor is lifted along with that. Deep water life forms were not carried to dry land in a flood as you posit, as there would only be one layer. We see many layers all over the world. "And on the seventh day, you should have studied."
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 Don't ruined things here with a stupid essay.
@jackshaftoe1715 ignore the troll or whatever
The little tree 🌲 (not to scale) is the cherry on top of these fine lessons you produce.
Keep up the great work sir!!
Many thanks!
Great use of tree.
@@myroncook you were born for this gig !
The future geologist is going to be astonished to find dam machinery in his core samples. 😮
A total Bob Ross move to fill out the best geology videos on RUclips
Myron: I greatly appreciate the free education you are handing out here. Your style of leading one to the points of the lesson are wonderful to listen to and learn from. The natural world needs more story tellers like you. Thank you.
I appreciate that
And outdoors yet!🕊️😎🎵❤️🐦🗻♥️🗽
Your channel is proof that, if what you're talking about is interesting enough, there's no need to turn it into some television event drama. This was so good!
Thanks!
You don't even have to blame aliens for a single thing, amazing stuff.
@@myroncook Myron ! What a great journey you took us on ! It's truly amazing that so many clues are still visible to anyone, in plain sight ! Now, there is just one tiny issue, and I hope that you take this as a form of well-mannered constructive criticism, sir. The title is just every so slightly misleading. To me, in my mind, "How Geologists Discovered [the Seaway]" would lead me to think that the video would be about those specific geologists and the actual specific discoveries made by them over time, in a historical context. This was especially true for me since you mentioned the 1869 expedition by John Wesley Powell. I expected more specific historical details to follow in his footsteps. Alas, we did not get that. Now, I know that this is not a true historical channel, in the normal sense. Instead this is a great, shall I say spectacular, channel about geology over a much vaster historical timeline. Keep up the amazing work, and I speak for everyone when I say, NEVER STOP !!
So true!
I've gotten to the point where I absolutely cringe at the over-dramatization on Nova, National Geographic, etc.
¹@@bmattmcneilly013
I’m one minute in and I can already tell they need to bring back the good documentaries on history channel with you narrating. Some people just have the voice and presence for it
Myron - This is the stuff that did (and still does) fascinate me and why I became a geologist 40 years ago. Never seems to get old... Great job !
This video is so fascinating! I love when you address “how do we know that?” kinds of questions! And the photography is always sooo stunning! Thank you for educating us!
I'm so glad!
Great sound too!
I spent fifty years in construction, I wish I would have been a geologist. I really love geology, who would have thought geology would be so fascinating.
Geologist prob would have thought.
You still have time to start, even a year or two.
I went the other way. I used to work at the Schoellkopf Geological Museum in Niagara Falls, NY. where part of my time was spent teaching geology of the area. Now I am an Environmental Compliance Officer in Georgia where my main charge is maintaining environmental compliance and construction inspections.
The mysteries that our great land holds run deep my brother.
In some states universities allow older folks to enroll for a reduced fee or even free. You can check in your area. Maybe go study geology?
Thank you Myron! This is my favorite channel in RUclips and you have completely transformed my understanding of the Earth. Learning geology the last few months since I found your channel has given me so much joy! Keep doing what you’re doing partner!
Wonderful!
@@myroncook i found a channel that you might enjoy watching for amusement, relaxation, or some information. it is not a geology channel in the purest sense, but it does occasionally hit on geology in a tangential manner. the creator has a very soothing voice, and the visuals are amazing. the channel name is, *_"Desert Drifter"_*
@@myroncooki eatvhed your video about the fans coming from river deltas and how far they go out to see, as well as the channels you noted running across the bottom of the ocean. I believe you said they were caused by the rivers and underwater currents, but it wasnt fully understood. I disagreed, its my understanding that the paths the major rivers follow were not originally carved by the rivers themselves, the eater just took the path of least resistance. I adhere to the electrical model of the universe, in said model its understood from accounts of the ancients that great cataclysms of an electrical nature happened. These events occured before life even existed here. These planetary scale electrical storms literally carved out huge swaths of land and killed untold numbers of species in the known catacylsms (it wasnt a meteor it was a global electical storm and a scale we can hardly imagine). Look at electrical excavation experiments done by many experimentalists. It shows the exact same fratures we see on he surfaces of every celestial body we observe.
I will correct my typos when i get home from work... Yt app is glitching out and making it impossible to do so.
Have not watched yet but I know it will be interesting, informative and well done. Thank you, Professor Cook.
Wait I can’t be the only one that got excited it was just a narrator but the cutest most wholesome bearded man in a cowboy hat. Made me miss my grandpas. Thank you kind sir for your service .
That's not exactly a cowboy hat. 🤠
@@mamalor13 it could be argued to be a style of fedora, but admittedly the hat band does imply more of a cowboy aesthetic
The level of academic storytelling in these videos is absolutely amazing. The way he slowly reveals the information that allows you to make observations and come up with theories about geology for youself before he unveils the truth like a detective at the end of a murder mystery is so engaging. I need a geology book written by him!
Thanks!
If Geology could talk, this is what it would sound like. Thank you Myron. This is my first time you were recommended.
Welcome aboard
How many times have I driven through boring landscapes and just couldn't wait to get to somewhere interesting? Myron, you should have made these videos 50 years ago. What great videos for kids to watch while travelling cross country.
I agree. When I was a kid we took some really long trips across the US and I could have used this info! lol
For me, it’s not just the great knowledge you have but the enthusiasm you show that makes your videos as enjoyable as they are educational. Thank you for sharing these
I appreciate that!
Why can’t you sleep sorry trying to learn about geology at 2am
You just spoke to my soul.
Totally 😹
4 am now.......!!!!
Same from me.
I’m not alone 👊
My average attention span for a RUclips video is ten minutes or so. But there is so much in this video that forty-five minutes passes really quickly. Fascinating subject, awesome scenery, and clear narration from someone whose enthusiasm is infectious. Time very well spent.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I spent about 25 years in Utah. It's a nature-lover's paradise. I hope everyone has a chance to visit the beauty of southern Utah. It's truly amazing.
Thank you, Mr. Cook. I don't know why you don't have a million subscribers by now.
You sir are surely not lying!
...And I'll call you Shirley! Grrl!
Myron I love your enthusiasm! From one geologist to another, you are a geologists, geologist!
Thank you, Bob
@@myroncook geology isint real its just concrete painted by my buddy bob
A superb master teacher with a "big picture" clarity rarely equalled and probably never excelled.
After an exceptionally rough week, Im stoked to sit down and hear about the Great Seaway from everyone favorite Geology Santa! Theres a lot of comfort in the humility of seeing a glimpse of the age of the world we live on and Im forever grateful for everyone that shares this passion.
thank you!
Truly a great geologist, with vast knowledge and ability to communicate. I am a subsurface geologist, and have drilled lots of sand shale sequences in the last 40 years - this video gave me some new insights ! Thanks
great to hear!
Both you and Bob Ross have a great way with trees. Thanks for another fine lesson.
Love the little tree 🌲
“Happy” trees!
Agreed
Little trees and little fish, 100 million years ago, ha. Love it!
exactly, they both paint what they want to paint.
As an European I really appreciate the unit conversion. Sometimes I struggle to follow american educational contents because I'm not familiar with the imperial system.
It's a small thing but really appreciated. Also your content is pure gold, you manage to go really deep but with an easier vocabulary that makes it understandable for anyone, you really have a gift. Thank you for your videos!
We actually use the metric system frequently in the fields of medicine. Remember 1 in = 2.54 cm exactly.
1 foot is 12 inches or approximately 30.48cm.
For example 1foot which is actually 12in* 2.54 cm/1in = 30.48 cm
I mile = 5,280 feet
1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers.
Definition: A mile (symbol: mi or m) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is currently defined as 5,280 feet, 1,760 yards, or exactly 1,609.344 meters. By using stoichiometry, u just cancel matching units until you can’t cancels any other units. Now multiply across and divide. You get the answer with the correct dimensions.
3 teaspoons tsps = 1 tablespoon = 14.787 ml.
@persephone342 well more or less I know about the imperial system but it's not immediate and it doesn't make following an education video smooth at all. Plus honestly my brain is already so full of information that I really don't need to learn an extremely bad measurement system. I'm sorry for the honesty ahah
@@nicolodalmonego2785 That's not honesty, buddy, that's just arrogance and laziness.
You should take a look at how the freedom units came into being. They're not great for scientific measurements, but they were never meant for it.
Wasn't the metric system first mandated by Emperor Napoleon?
@@wolfeboronian4795 I don’t know, tbh.
I feel we are lucky to have drone technology available to help grasp the size and scale of these layers. Some awesome footage and that final stop was simply amazing. Still loving this channel and all the fascinating geology stories Mr. Myron. Thanks!
drones help a lot
I took a geology class in college and recall learning about this ancient sea. I appreciate your additional insight. Your videos are fantastic! Thank you for sharing your passion.
Hey Myron, I'm a 70-year old guy who has survived all of my hikes, from Lincoln, Montana, getting lost in the Needles District of Canyonlands (saved by a Shell geologist!) all the way to Bandolier and Great Bend of Texas. So I'm just saying a warm thank you for helping me wrap my brain around the complex geology. I recently lived in Junction for five years and followed the lava trails that cover Grand Mesa, drove up to Salt Lake City to see a gal, and visited the dino bones ,, gees, where was that? Halfway to Provo! Your warm voice is great to listen to!
thanks!
I live in northern Kentucky and have always been fascinated by finding fossilized coral and sea shells in field stones. Amazing to think of how our earth has changed over the ages.
Doesn’t Kentucky also have Egyptian ancient artifacts that were found.
@@Elijah-hv4pi not to my knowledge. I've found lots of fossilized coral and other sea artifacts over the years thou.
Yeah. God is mighty!!
If you didn’t know, Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :)
“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:9-13 KJV
“and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
Mark 1:15 KJV
If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on RUclips and a RUclips channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and *he will.*
God Bless :)
Also, look up our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of Zeitoun!
God bless! :D
Hi Myron! I am an engineer with a railroad out here in Grand Junction and my route goes through Thompson Springs, Helper, and all along the Bookcliffs. I get so excited riding along these beautiful features every day and wondering about the ancient landscapes that made these mountains into what they are today. So glad to see you made a video about them. I just bought a book about this very thing by Ron Blakey! PS, you met my boyfriend, Jason at a restaurant while you were here in town, thanks for the photo! We were so excited! If you ever make it back to GJ, I hope to meet you, too!
Cool job! I enjoyed meeting your friend, very pleasant fellow. I studied geology under Ron Blakey.
As a recent transplant to Denver I’m fascinated by the story of the Seaway and the geology of the west. Thank you for your excellent and understandable presentations. Love the trees!
Thirty plus years ago i had a college geology professor that was just mesmerizing to listen to. He was an excellent teacher.
Just like you, Myron!
Myron...you have definitely got that Bob Ross delivery going on. Thank you for the fun informative videos.
You are very welcome
A pretty good day is now an awesome day because a new Myron video just dropped ~ thank you!
Thank you so much Myron your geography content is seriously unmatched I use it to help teach my children about the great Appalachians around from here in central Pennsylvania
Wow, thank you
@@myroncook no sir thank you
Respect for your work. I have found a shocking number of Creationists on youtube making videos about how the grand canyon was formed in a few weeks. It's horrifying to me to see such ideas get so much traction and support and your work really shines as a powerful and insightful informative array of data against such delusions. Great work!
Liked and shared.
And then they come to a channel like this where much hard work was done over many years and toss out quotes from a silly book that "disproves" all the evidence we've just been shown.
I love geology and having you as a teacher makes it a lot of fun at the same time. I’m 60 now, prob not changing my career, but I know that I’d have loved this field. I am captivated by it. It’s funny, as a child, I would sit and wonder at the sea shells and such at the top of TN mountains and thought that it had to be under water at some point in history. My friends would tell me that I was silly but now I understand how such things happen. Thank you!
Your child-like excitement is so endearing. It's clear that you enjoy sharing your knowledge with the world & you do it so well. If only there were more educators like you!! It's so refreshing that we as viewers don't have to trade our curiosity for the typical online advertising circus. When we sit down to watch your videos, we are in your classroom. You deliver such layered, amusing, easy-to-absorb information...it's like watching a beloved program on PBS. And not to mention...you are just absolutely lovable & adorable in every way! Thank you very much for what you do! Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys learning. Hugs & kisses from Brooklyn
Hello there sir , Myron we really enjoy your geology. Always in lightning and joyful love your humor keep them coming. I have a high understanding of the topic and I love the way you break it down
Thanks again, Damon
Thanks, Damon
You need an award simply for carrying that whiteboard for miles. Great stuff!
Dude Uses more whiteboards than Katie Porter on cocaine
It is so fascinating to just sit a try to see what was in the past. Thank you for adding so much to that pleasure.
Thank you for adding meters and kilometers in your videos, us Europeans appreciate it .
My goodness...Ive learned so much watching your videos. Sadly in my lifetime I'll never see this part of our country. Truly amazing area. Never have I thought about rock formation until I started watching....thank you
You make it so interesting! Every time I look at different areas as I drive around and travel, I contemplate the things I've learned from you. Thank you so much for being so generous with your time 🤗
I am very pleased. A new Myron Cook video. 🎉🎉
This is a person that knows how to present his case.well worth watching.
Blessed to find your channel. You’re a good teacher with a soft voice. I hope you Keep up the excellent work!
I love the way you explain the changes in topography. Really helps to imagine what it used to be like. I live in the Uk and I look at the landscape in such a different way because of your teaching. Thankyou for opening my eyes to a much bigger picture. 💚
I love this!
Myron, you've done it again, sent my imagination off spinning into the depths of time. What a treasure for the curious - thank you so much for these thoughtful, amazing and inspiring videos.
Many thanks!
You are a genuinely gifted educator. Thank you!
Myron is the best! With all the crazy nonsense on the internet this guy's videos are a so refreshing. Such fascinating information about the landscapes we live in and pass through without thinking, delivered in a calm but intruiging manner by such a wonderful person. Had I seen these videos when I was young I would have definitely pursued a career in geology but I am so happy that I can still enjoy learning though I am nearing retirement.
Thanks Myron!
Wow, thanks!
It wasn't until I learned about the inland sea that I understood why the access roads next to the irrigation canals here in southern NM have tons of little clamshells. They aren't big with some the size of a pea and others as big as a nickel, but they're fun to pick up.
Good to see you again Myron! Love your videos. As it so happens, I live on the boundary of the coastal plain and Piedmont Plateau in Maryland. Now, I find myself trying to imagine what my neighborhood looked like during the Cretaceous.
I had a "wow" moment with the explanation of how ammonite fossils are used to correlate time with volcanic ash deposits! super cool! Thank you.
Mr. Myron thank u so much for content such as this. I sit here on my couch completely fascinated and engaged with what I’m learning from your video.
You and your channel show the power of doing something meaningful with a you tube channel.
Thanks for all you do to enlighten and educate those in the online community. It most definitely helps us to stay curious:)!
You are very welcome
Love the videos! I have described you to my wife as "the Bob Ross of geology". I'm not a painter and have never intended on painting anything creative, but I can watch Bob Ross talk about and demonstrate his talent for hours. I'm not a geologist and do not intend on becoming one, but I can also watch you talk about geology and demonstrate your knowledge in the field for hours because even though I won't ever be a geologist, you give me just a little bit more knowledge to understand the world around me just a little bit better. Thank you!
This reminds me of the inland Sea that Australia once had. One thing I love most about this ultimate favourite geology & palaeontology channel of my is it encourages me to ask questions that I both would not have thought of, or have been reminded of that I already thought of.
You are appreciated Myron. I didn't even realize I was stressed and then you started talking geology and I suddenly relaxed.
North of San Antonio, TX. Sea shells and related fossils in my backyard. Honeycomb rocks with sea shells and fossils embedded in them. Yep, I will most certainly buy it. In the same area I stood in a dinosaur track back in the 60's. It was on private land and cannot be accessed now.
neat!
When I lived in Jackson Wyoming, south in the snake River canyon there were sea shells way up on the hill sides in the canyon
Around Coralville, Iowa, there’s plenty of evidence of a huge Coral Reef, with the Coral Detail clearly evident.
I live north of SATX. Have seen more marine invertebrate fossils in Cibolo Creek bed than I could ever count.
I live near bulverde but all I've unearthed is some amber calcite in my garden
This geology makes my retirement life a lot more interesting.
mine too!
I cannot express how much I love your energy sir, you radiate that of a heartwarming professor who's class you do not want to leave.
Its currently 5am, I've been building a model for a project I'm presenting today at 1 since noon yesterday and binge watching videos. I will now spend the rest of the time watching your videos, phenomenal work
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them!
Love your channel- and thank you for adding metric measurements on screen for those of us who are most fluent in that :)
You are so welcome!
Yup, I love hiking in the mountains of New Mexico and finding seashells at around 7000 ft. Really gets the brain working.
When you find skeletons of giant sharks and sea reptiles in the middle of nowhere, chances are at some point there was water there. :)
Sharknado.....
I learned in college that there's no such thing as a bad subject, only bad teachers. A good teacher can make any topic fascinating. Lately I am finding geology to be real interesting!
I have been married for 56 years. My wife’s father was Dr. Stephen Clabaugh. Listening to you reminds me so much of him, a wonderful teacher and father in law. Everyday was class in session when I was around him on trips with the family, and vacations on the ranch. Thanks so much for this channel and your wonderful talents.
i’ve been looking for a comprehensive video on this. thank you! i loved it :,)
Glad it was helpful!
No way my boy Myron Cook dropped another banger
Very interesting and professor here explained it and kept it interesting on a level which I think most of us can follow
This was the best description I've heard about the inland sea that used to be where the Rockies are today. I especially was intrigued by your discussion of how we can use the evolution of ammonites (sp?) to gauge the age of the mud deposits. Thank you Myron.
I dont consider myself interested in geology but you are just such a fantastic teacher and communicator that I enjoy learning from you!
The deep time scales... of the shale fields depth.The time it spans to take to accumulate the sea mud, cover it up, and erode it back down to present day is freaking me out. Makes one wonder what world was like so far back. If there was intelligent mammals that came and went.
The Bob Ross of geology.

Recently recommended this channel and can’t say enough nice things. From the lovely visuals, informative content and most of all the inviting, soothing and, I cannot help but make the connection, Mr Rogers evoking cadence and intonation, I’ve been loving to listen to these presentations. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent teaching in every way. The content, on site, presented by an expert, clearly and politely. The evidence for this seaway is compelling to me.
Now you know why the Great Plains is so fertile.
Born to be a Geologist, forced to be an engineer :////
4 A.M watchers can gather here.
@amcguigan2389 Lol even better.
What in the world?! How?! How did you know, it is literally 4 AM for me right now
🎯
I love the content, and you clearly do too. You sound and look more happy to reveal knowledge to people than anyone I've ever heard. Traveling through the west for the first time, these are all the things I was thinking about. I love it.
Myron. Your great! I love watching your videos and teachings. You are definitely the Bob Ross of Geology. Your drawings are a great tool to help people understand the lesson or topic that your explaining. Keep up the good work!
I've climbed to some of the highest peaks in the world. Every single one, no matter how high had seaschells on the top.
Very interesting subject and channel. Despite the fictitious timeline's being promoted which Myron backs up with "Circular Reasoning" starting at the 19 min mark.
Who else thinks North America would be better if that seaway still existed?🖐
No but it could do without the coasts
I am a retired geologist. I love this video. Total respect for what you are doing.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely wonderful video, me and my family used to go camping all the time when I was a kid and I never cherished the vast knowledge and deep care park rangers had for the lands around them. Now that Im older I find my self missing that, and this fulfills that curiosity in such a calming way. I think its all to easy nowadays to get swept up with life and forget to slow down and enjoy what nature has to offer, and this has helped me take a breath. Thanks myron, you've brightened many days, and filled many minds.
I never thought geology was cool until stumbling upon this channel. Taking the whiteboard out into the field like that is just super helpful and cool.
Glad you enjoy it!
This channel is nothing short of a pilgrimage site for Geology enthusiasts like me.
i have discovered that geology fascinates me … always appreciated mountains etc but last decade has me traveling to places to see interesting rock formations
thank you
This man's passion for his field is so evident. Geology never seemed so exciting.
That area of the country has always facinated me. I could hang out with Mr Cook and talk geology for months. Thank you for this presentation have always wanted it someone to explained it in detail.
Myron, I loved this content, I loved your vocab, I love your warm explanations, I loved your drone shots, I loved your video. Please keep educating the masses like this. This is awe-inspiring thoughtful content.
Myron, I love how you present this information. I was the first Schlumberger natural gamma ray survey operator. ranging from north of Havre Montana south into New Mexico. worked extensively out of Vernal Utah, near where i grew up, Billings Montana, Casper Wyo. Evenston Wyo and Grand Junction Colo. These logs you display, were more than likely my work. well the work from one of the Crews i worked with. All that aside, i'm very pleased i cam across your presentation. It's kind of like the final chapter of my work. Thank you.
Neat background!
Myron like you Wyoming made me love geology and science. I was born in NW corner of Montana in glacier country. At 6 moved to Worland, WY and found tons of fossils. In 3rd grade moved to Buffalo, WY. For 4 1/2 years more. I'm 58 now in NM for 35 years. Lived in TX and OR in between. Like you o figured out things. No college training like you but I read and observed. I love watching you for more insight. Just found you and you back up all I thought plus some. Love land I can see not all covered with vegetation. Keep em coming ive got lots of back shows to see!
Awesome, glad you're enjoying the videos!
I call myself an Amateur Geologist who grew from a Rockhound - someone who loses pretty rocks - found originally on the shores of Lake Superior, Lake Huron & Lake Michigan (no rock hunting done on Eerie or Ontario).
You are a FANTASTIC teacher and it’s obvious that you LOVE Geology and teaching geolog. You tickle me because you are so happy.
I’d love to spend time with you wandering around and just listening and asking questions.
If you ever want someone to hang out with, someone who loves learning about geology and getting her hands dirty - oh and a trusty little 10 pound dog 🐕
Look me up. I’m as serious as a heart attack. I’m off to the Badlands area to Boondock in my RV and explore. I adore the Badlands. Maybe I’ll see ya there.
As a pseudo geologic dabbler with a PhD geologist friend. I have a key interest in the type of wonderful information your video showed. I found cretaceous horn coral fossils at a construction site in Bartlesville okalahoma...remnants of the seaways.
When digging out a mine fire near Pittsburgh we uncovered thousands of fossil plants (lepido, chordates, stigmaria, ferns, leaves)...an ancient wet forest right above the coal. The academically challenged folks I worked with took a keen interest in what they were now seeing in the rock. It was their time machine and your videos are mine!!!
Was just asking myself this very question on how they knew about the seas in North America yesterday and found this today. Thank you so much for doing all of your videos! I have been watching them for a while now and love learning from you.
