Wonderful work! I was out there today! Very green for a June 10th. Nothing like the channeled scablands. A giant ancient river bed carved into and around basalt.
These videos sure would have been nice to have back in 1970 while setting in Dale Stradling's geomorpohlogy classes at EWU. Nice job Bruce keep up the good work.
More amazing, even unique things from the NW of N. America! I shall *have* to fly out there from the UK to finally see this myself, when things are safe again! But the video is excellent...probably much better to view this to get a sense of perspective. But wow - a great video, made with a lot of love, care and knowledge. And everywhere mounds! Are those mounds at 21:43 called 'Mimo' mounds please?...... and are ALL the mounds I can see ..... e.g. at 3:03-3:30, 3:55; 4:50-5:16; 9:08 ; 11:30 etc .... also Mimo mounds or is it at just a specific place? .... 'ish timings :-)
Thanks Peter. The best example of silt mounds is at Mima Prairie at the west end of the state, hence the name Mima Mounds. But mounds in the video probably formed under different processes so many geologists are reluctant to call eastern WA mounds Mima Mounds.
