thanks for the video and i’d say he’s normal in my world . i don’t go anywhere with out a hammer and some gold pans which i found fit nicely in spare tire rim under the trunk floor even if it’s a trip for shopping in a far away place i will always have them
Very informative and interesting. I was just thinking about breccia pipe and it’s relationship with structure due to being involved in an exploration copper project in Ontario, Canada. Found this really helpful! Thank you so much.
Yes. Breccia pipes are commonly thought of in isolation because they tend to be round in plan, but even the most explosive fluid will still find the easiest path through the crust and that is usually up a structure!
Those ‘baby breccia pipes’ remind me, in miniature (analogous), to a diamond field in Aus I mapped where I had the sense they all coalesced at depth and the large diatreme was yet to be found and not too far away. Mapping of the cover rocks (sedimentary basin) suggested the diamondiferous k. pipes had moved along planes of weakness in the overburden (Riedel shears) but broadly followed a regional lineament at depth.
It really is a great field trip location for students. I'm sure there are many more lessons in structural geology there that I'm not qualified to teach.
Amazing video❤ this really help me to study about geology. May be can I request a video about epithermal low sulphidation deposit based on quartz texture🙏
The rocks in this video were so nice I had to look up the back story....Are they Cambrian? Lots of great stuff in the video. Thank you for making it. I'd like to see the Cambrian - Neoproterozic bounday in S. Austrailia. What is the tectonic history? As far as the breccias...at 3:16 the clsts look very angular, blocky and LARGE. They look different than the hydrothermal breccia at 5:16. I'd like to hear more discussion on the clast and matrix lithology/fossils/mineralogy and if they differ from the unit hosting them. Does the breccia tell you what lies lower in the strat column? A+ rating.
There are so many interesting stories in rocks that it is a tough decision which ones to follow up in detail. I should do more with other people who already have the detailed knowledge.
You are doing and A+ job...don't doubt yourself....some guests in the field with you would be good...or videos collecting hand samples then discussing them with others in a clip.... This all takes a lot of time and effort. It's very much appreciated. Thnk you. @@GeologyUpSkill
