I grew up in Bell Co. TX, the geology of the area has always fascinated me. We went fossil hunting a lot when I was young and it always blew my mind how we always found an abundance of ocean fossils everywhere we looked east of I-35.
I have no idea when, in the last year, I'd come across this but I made the mistake of not following the first time 🤣 Been thinking about it ever since but forgot how, why or where I acquired this knowledge xD
Myron bless you. My husband is a geologist by training but has had other careers since. I recently got curious about geology but could not stick with some of the RU-vid channels on this incredible subject. Too sterile. We have been captivated by your joy and your passion. I am deeply curious about many subjects but this has become addictive lately. I work in mental health and I am convinced that if this was part of our general education, compulsory, the world would be saner, wiser and less stupid! We quite plainly love life, our blue dot and you! 👏🙏🐬🌹🌻
It's hard to say exactly how old the Earth is. Some of the oldest rocks found were estimated to be about 4 billion years old. But all that could really mean is that it takes 4 billion years for the Earth to completely recycle all of the crust at the surface. Or completely resurface itself.
Very Interesting! I looked at the region myself in Google Earth and as an engineer came to the conclusion it wouldn't be hard at all for us humans to redirect the Missouri north again. An around 70m high dam a bit further downstream would create a lake which would overflow north into the old river channel.
This is so interesting. The only thing that I could imagine that would be powerful enough to send such incredible volume of water "uphill" all the way to the Arctic would likely have been the meteoric event that created the Gulf of Mexico that also caused the dinosaurs' extinction...
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.
I’ve enjoyed this video dozens of times. You made one that was my all-time favourite but this is my new all-time ultimate favourite of any video ever done on the Internet involving palaeontology & geology. The previous video I just mentioned you focused one what particular fossil I learned a lot from but this one was extremely exciting because you really covered many different fossil species Keep up the good work ✅sir 🫡.
The water moves through the aquifer at 1 foot flow. Farming takes so much water out of the aquifer the replenishment can't keep up, so the refill flows at a maximum rate. This possibly draws sand and sediment into the pores in the aquifer stopping them up and slowing the recharge. This results in a backup of water in Nebraska and starvation below. But I don't know. I bet a plumber can tell you. As long as a dollar is to be made the depletion won't stop. Like in California, the farmers are the first to scream about the dropping water table. Still, people have to eat.
I just did an origin point for that clearly seismic activity and it landed dead center on Hotsprings National Park bath house row. New Madrid Fault may be a sleeping Giant.
Looking forward to the video you referred to. The explanation of the last few horizontal depositions. Because still a mystery to me is how deposits can occur to these depths (heights in elevation). Thanks Myron.
Pseudo geologist here....i think the entire continent was under water and rose up out of water hence the amazing geological features. North America is the oldest landmass on earth. First land to emerge from the deluge. The oldest rocks the oldest water and largest trees are found on America.
Mr cook, please consider a documentary about my home Australia 🦘🦘, thankyou, luv the content getting to know more and more about your meal of the woods. Thankyou again
0: 55. The Missouri River is really the Mississippi. Every continent has it's major river system, and all of them have the longest river(s) named as that river. Except the Mississippi. If the Mississippi River system were named correctly, the Mississippi would be the world's longest, besides the most prosperous. So everyone needs to join in with the renaming of the Missouri River to Mississippi.
That is a Planet. A very old, yet young one. The flora and fauna was killed off by this civilization, just out there. So, it comes into “here” for US to find and discover. Mr Cook doesn’t realize, it was His home world, that’s why the Universe lead Him to find it. I have smaller ones in my “rented” home, that sits upon my lands, stolen by “Humanity”. 5 waves of small pox, to end my People, now the same crooks did it to themselves, vis the “injection”. His is very real, very alive, and owns an iPhone now, not much else though, thanks to “Humanity”, “2024”. I did more black budget ops then any other, or the same, yet was denied my service, due to “delegation of authority”, while the Responsibility fails on who’s head??? Not The Creator, or my Animal Family. Do any of You, KNOW the Bison Father, the US Army slaughtered??? I DO!!! Hell is here and now!!! 👁️
Hudson Bay is an impact creator, which feeds a Magma Tube to Yellowstone. The subduction of California will stop the feed from the salton sea flow tube, there are 3 arteries that feed the Heart. Anyway, thanks for the video Uncle Jessie, yep, I recognize ya. Awesome Sauce Kimosabi. 👁️
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.
I took a historical geology class in college as an elective. I found that class to be very interesting. I tried geology 101 with the same professor and hated it. This here is the area of geology that I find fascinating, and these videos are excellent at bringing an interested layperson along for a better understanding of our planet and the processes that have helped shape it. Myron is a master, not only of the subject matter, but also of how to effectively communicate and teach it.
Tidal river mud ball,formed from a small object rolling up and down a muddy river bottow.Most are 18 inches or smaller,scary when they roll into you in zero viz water.
