I wish more science TH-camrs invited us to think like this. Way too often science is presented to the public as a collection of facts instead of walking us through the process of asking questions and looking for a solution. It's so much more fun.
Science IS a collection of facts ...mixed with conjecture ("the experts" are often wrong).
@@janiceyoungblood6894as long as you think God also created evolution.
@@SECONDQUEST The boys that dig up Dino bones I talk to were If 'y about evolution. Surprised me. Maybe evolution is more of a religion.
@@janiceyoungblood6894praise be to Zeus. He creates many wonders throwing his lightning bolts around.
@joncokrane9746 being iffy about digging up bones doesn't really give me the impression that the scientific method was applied.. Even then some could absentmindedly assume that science is a religion.. but that would be akin to assuming regular quantum electrodynamics is as easy to understand as quantum chromodynamics.. science is rigorous and demands for us to exclude our opinion and religious preconceptions..
I'm a 70 y/o prospector from Western Australia, I've been prospecting since 1976. I've learned a thing or two from Myron and it's appreciated. Thanks, Mate.
you're welcome
We never stop learning. I'm not far from age 70 myself.
Very very far from 70 😂
@@danielpretorius2430. Not that far geologically.

The Bob Ross of geologic phenomena. Thank you, sir. Always enjoy your content.
He even includes a "happy little tree" at about 14:20!
How can you date this to 50 million years ?
14:40 - Who needs "Happy Little Trees" when you can have "Happy Alligators and Hippos"?
All Myron needs is a perm.
@@louisquatorze9280 LOL
Mr Cook is an excellent teacher. Complex processes broken down in a straightforward and engaging way. We are lucky to have this available.
Great Uncle Cliff. What a great name for the uncle of a Geologist!
When he said that, it reminded me of my great uncles who took us out to nature often.
Myron, you have the best geologic channel I know of. Easy to understand. And awesome land scapes you cover. So very very cool.
Wow, thanks
Today I found my long lost set of truck keys, and then, a new Myron Cook video! What a day!
That is awesome!

Another favorite YTer showed us this wall a few months ago

I thought "dike!" right away... and then you said it wasn't volcanic. That stumped me. But I loved the journey to the better answer, and I'm really glad to know about clastic dikes now. So interesting!
good guess!
Myron already linked to another vid with explanations. But I can recommend also a nice video called Clastic dikes with Skye Cooley, from geologist Nick Zentner. Skye also is a field geologist.
@@myroncook Why are the layers in the clastic dikes horizontal, not vertical or jumbled? If the flow was vertical, the layers should be also, I would think.
@@FLPhotoCatcherI don't think those are related to the flow. They're definitely not layers, as you can see when a crack ends in the middle of a "block". The fractures probably happened later.
Thank You Myron. Another fun hike for You, and a great video for Us! Thanks for sharing that special place.
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent work! Please do a video on the Carolina Bays next, including Antonio Zamora's hypothesis for their formation.
This video brought me the same joy for learning that I felt when I was a child. Earth is a spectacular place. Thank you for sharing Myron :)
What a fabulously informative video. Thank you, Myron.
You do a really good job of explaining fairly complex processes that span over a billion years. I have learned a lot watching your videos. I came for the lecture and stayed for the whiteboard. ;-)
Thank you, Myron. Well done, as usual!
After a cold night nursing a sick cat..... Myron brings Geology Relief!
hope the kitty is doing good :)
Kitty Kat, back on track
Sorry your kitty isn't well. That's hard.
Thank you all for the concern over my cat "Wolverina" She is fully recovered. (Wolverina is a rescue cat who we originally thought was male, with prominent gray sideburns and was named Wolverine.... Turns out she was female. (pronouns Meow/purr)
Good news. Stay well kitty@@johnderatt3168
I occasionally come across some youtuber who finds "evidence" of the ancient races of giants who built huge walls and doors with hidden worlds behind them. I've commented several times that they should contact you and get a geology lesson on what they're actually seeing.
Backtreker is legit most of the stuff he's found is from people who lived there
@@CragDawgs I like desert drifter. He's legit as far as I've seen. I can't find backtreker videos.
There’s a dude here in az who keeps making sensationalized claims about hearing a door shut in the mt yet everytime he goes back to it he stays as far away as possible so you can’t tell anything.
@@monarcal8365 I'm in AZ as well and he's one of them I had in mind.
Go put a covid mask on and watch abc news smart guy
Mister Cook's videos are a great complement to videos on prehistoric times and vice versa. Myron telling us the Ancient History of Earth itself and Stefan Milo telling us the History of Humans, the people living in those ancient landscapes before us, that's a winning combination!
Two excellent storytellers whose stories keep the viewers enthralled. I am also reminded of Richard Attenborough whose films brought similar joys.
I could sit and listen to you all day! Thank you so much for what you do. I am once again appreciative of the eye-opening geology lesson.
I don't know what's more enjoyable here, the intriguing science or the masterful delivery.
This is the first time I have seen your content. I almost didn't click on it because I have seen so many videos that would hype this formation as evidence of a lost civilization, but I am very glad I gave you a chance. This was probably the best walk through of the scientific method I have seen. Thanks for a great video.
Welcome aboard!
Other videos either say this is definitely man made, or definitely natural, but offer little real explanation. This was great!
Those walls do look like Rockwall TX
Rockwall's "wall" is the outer two feet of a huge slab. The National Geographic video with two guys claiming it's real a wall is clownish.
Not quite. No right angles. No rectangular shape overall.
Fascinating. I have seen features like that in Australia but I didn’t know what they are. Thanks for explaining it.
If by some miracle i get filthy rich, i will personally fund this man career and just let him keep having fun.
@ahuels67, Sorry My friend, but he's disinformation. I was trusting science like you, (and like billions of people do). It's too hard to unplug the old programs stamped into our minds, and be open to learning something NEW. But I was shocked when years ago I found Roger Spurr's Mudfossil University channel. I was laughing at him and calling him NUTS!! The more I watch his videos and saw with MY OWN EYES the physical evidence he shows on Google map.... I became serious, and started paying close attention. After watching 5-7 videos... I became a TRUE BELIEVER of what he's saying/teaching. In this case- it IS the truth.
For reals. I say that too. Animal rescues around the world will get some $$ too.
In other words, you'll let him cook.
Let Myron Cook@@conservingcommonsense4980
Fascinating! Thank you, Mr.Cook for helping me, to understand!
My pleasure!
I learn so much from Myron, Nick and Shawn! These guys are great sharing their knowledge with us. Thank you!
The 3 of them are the bomb!
Agreed!
Hot saturday afternoon watching videos on how to clean out a deep submersible well pump (a whole 16 feet down) and this shows up. Excellent. The well can wait after it cools off a bit later this evening.
Excellent presentation, captures our interest and makes ya say HUH. Thanks for the lessons, as always.
This is the first of your videos I’ve seen after learning about you through your interview with Nick Zentner. Really fantastic stuff, amazing scenery, great explanations and I like how you walk us through the geologic thought processes.
Awesome, thank you!
I sent a link to my daughter to use in her home school curriculum. Myron, you are an amazing gift to the educational process.
Wonderful shot of virga ahead of the approaching storm just about 14 minutes in. The science, the script, the photography, and the delivery: all spot on!
Myron.. your vids are fantastic... these need to be shown to children.. I know that if I had the opportunity to see your videos that I would have been able to digest them, and they would have shaped me in a beneficial way. Your ability to explain these complex geological processes inspire me and allow me to visualize geological time in a way that leaves me speechless.. thanks..
I appreciate that
There are so many well worded comments below mine - wish I had said and contributed equally to your wonderful presentation. So, I'll just say - Thanks - very much for expanding my understanding about magical things that happened so long ago.
Thank you for the feedback
As a retired geologist, you're living my dream. The intersection of geology, drones and great storytelling. Keep up the great work !
Thanks, will do!
I really enjoy your videos, they're instructive, informative, and I especially appreciate your folksy easy going style of presentation. Thank you very much.
Glad you like them!
I would like to see your opinion on the sage wall.
In case I forgot to thank you for your video on the Red Rocks and other front range formations (I live only about 50 miles from there and have done a bunch of mountain biking along the ridge), Thanks! Now I'll watch this one!
You are a fun good teacher. Thank you sir for some interesting knowledge 🥰
I love your style! Not just a "here you go", but you analyze the setting to figure out what processes may, or may not, have occurred to create a geologic feature. Very well done!
Finally someone who ACTUALLY includes the links in the description they say they will during the video. I can’t tell you how many times I go to see the links and they’re nowhere to be found
We need a series of sweet "whiteboard discussion" t shirts!!!!
Thank you for your insights! Love your video lessons and share them with my fellow family rock nerds.
You really are the Bob Ross of geology. Soothing to listen to, great imagery, and lots of thought provoking discussion! Every episode is an adventure.
The most bonkers demonstration of soil liquefaction was footage from the Palu Indonesia earthquake, five or so years ago. Previously solid flat land flowed like rivers, and houses cars and trees sank into the ground. Probably the scariest natural disaster scenario I could imagine. I'll try to post a BBC video as a reply, if youtube allows the link.
I wouldn't mind a video just on different soil types. Being from the Gulf Coast, I've always been curious about the red clay of the Southeast.

Myron you are so cool and the way you process natural landscapes and relay that with a brilliant cadence is captivating. Thank you for sharing 🌎
My pleasure!
Your videos never cease to amaze, Myron!! ✨Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos with us all 💖
I love the structure of these videos. They are like geological whodunits.
Thanks Myron. Always find your content insightful and interesting.
Geology has always been so fascinating to me, mother nature can really create beautiful art and intriguing landscape, definitely the best Geology Channel on TH-cam, you Sir remind a lot of my Uni Geology teacher 25 years ago in Switzerland, we use to go on walk in the Alps and Jura all the time and he sitting on a rock while smoking is pipe and talk to us about the rock formation present on those site with such passion but also in such captivating way which some other teacher were sadly lacking.
oh boy, them Leprechaun Nephilim and their tiny walls
it was obviously built to keep dinosaurs out of Atlantis by the lost tribes of Israel!
I love the field geology and the whiteboard. Go Myron!
You teach us HOW to think about formations we see. Love ''the contacts that terminate within an individual stone". Now that I've seen it, I will never un-see it and it's in my mental toolbox forever.
Great voice, clear and evenly paced. Gorgeous drone videos. I appreciate these flights that go around formations slowly so I can easily see details and the structure, and how it fits into the landscape.
Stand up and clapping for this gentleman!
Tks for sharing your knowledge.
I'm enjoying these. I'm going😊 to introduce this to my nephew, he says he says he wants to be a geologist! See what happens!
Stop what you’re doing, Myron Cook uploaded a new video! ❤ your videos. Fascinating stuff! Thanks for another great lesson in geology. Mother Nature is quite the landscaper.
Yet another wonderful video. Thank you for sharing this wonderful creation with us!
If you ever have someone just pull up a chair (or rock) and take a seat while you're filming, don't mind me, just keep making your video, I'm just here for it! Probably the only youtuber I'd be really happy to find out in the wild.
If Graham Hancock sees this video, he'll soon show up to cash in, calling it an ancient city of his imaginary Atlantis civilization.
I like this guy. He addresses mysteries I have wondered about, and applies science and geology to answer these wild questions about many natural wonders of nature. Absolutely fascinating! I would love to have had instructors like him in college.
Refreshing to have someone not be condescending in their tone. You've got a new Subscriber Sir. Thank you for your hard work and excellent Science Communication.
Love your stuff. Could you please make sure to include the state, & maybe even the part of the state (N or NW SD for example). Thank you
Thank you Myron for another very interesting explanation for these geologic wonders. Kind regards from Seattle.
Oh my lord! Just found you! Watched two videos with my 6 year old, loved them. All i could say the entire time is:
"Amazing; this guy is AWESOME, how have I never seen this before!? This guy is an amazing teacher! I wish he was my teacher."
I can tell you're passionate. That was so great! My father would like you too, you remind me if him! Great work! ✅

Love to hear this!
As rockclimber in the Alpes, I am asking myself a lot, how are the rocks formed. You are giving a lot of answers in a very pleasant way. Thanks.
Thanks Myron. I will add a thought which is that many times Geologist and Archeologist don't get together and leverage the knowledge of each other. Certainly there are natural formations that look like man made walls and of course dating rock is not an exact science. However it is easy to see such as at 3:36 walls such as Machu Picchu that are not a natural formation. If you look closely though you can see that the base of the wall is of a different style (very high precision and often super large and heavy blocks) than the upper areas of the wall. This can only mean that the builders of the lower levels had the ability to create such a wall that did not exist (or was not used) during the time the upper wall areas were built. Even today, many walls and structures have base layers with rocks too large to be cut and put into place with modern machinery. What this indicates to me (and many others) is that the original builders had knowledge that was lost in time and that the foundation for such sites is older than the less precise upper areas. I often see archeologist dating such structures simply based on the idea that the site can't be too old because mankind hadn't evolved enough to build such a wall until well after the "stone age" came to an end (2~3000 bc). BTW, I believe that the natural walls (and many geological formations) developed rapidly in a cataclysmic event (over and over in time) and that what is slow regarding geology is the erosion of such structures.
I’m a 248-year old retired targ-catcher from TRAPPIST-1e. Geological processes are surprisingly similar on my planet to the ones that Mr. Cook describes. We have no trees or hippos, however.
Myron, I love your work sir. I was wondering if you could do a video on examples of Geology in America that showcase antediluvian and postdiluvian flood examples. It’s very interesting to me and with you as a guide, it’d be a wonderful video. Thank you for your work sir!
Thanks Myron.
Every time I visit Cody I visit the Clark’s Fork, the McCullough Peaks, and what ever part of the bad lands I can manage. Thanks for the tour!
On manmade rockwalls each layer of stones alternates with the layers above and below for strength.
The don' have the same pattern from top to bottom which would crate a vertical crack weakening the structure.
It's not sound engineering past to present.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Thank you once again, Myron. This reminds me of the larger wall extending from Ship Rock in New Mexico, though I suspect that one was formed by a different process. Your presentation style reminds me of a few university professors I had in the past-the kind who can make any topic stimulating. Cheers!
I recently documented it in this video th-cam.com/video/fP64Q5k4Hbg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4S0Wa4Kq1LuERv3w&t=75
Thank you for your videos Myron! A month ago I went hiking in the South Australian Flinders Ranges with some friends and we came across the Ediacaran GSSP - your videos enabled me and my friends to have a much more profound appreciation of the geology we saw!
Awesome place!
Thoroughly enlightening ! I hope this video is shown to third and fourth grade elementary school kids, to die hard believers in man made walls who have no idea of the amazing structures produced by nature, to people who do have a broad education and knowledge but love a concise and entertaining clarification on these subjects ! Thank you sir !
There is a similar wall almost 2 miles long here in New Mexico ( 33.16437, -107.16936), that I've wondered how it was formed for some time. This is as good an explanation as I've heard, thanks for making this video
I love watching your videos and hearing your comments. Your attitude of awe and reverence is exceptional and delightful. Thank you!!
Myron, You are so enjoyable to listen to. I've learned a lot about geology watching your channel. I'm 65 and a former electronic tech..no geology background. Happened by chance on your channel...so glad I did. You are the Bob Ross of the geology world. Hope to run into you next summer out in Wyoming.
Wow, thanks. Let me know when you are here....I may be free
Best geologist information source that explains awesome features of the earth for anyone to watch, really helps me understand deep time. Thanks!
I really enjoy your videos. You make geology fun and interesting. They are calming too. Thank you Myron 🎉
Thank you Myron. A great explanation of how these sand dikes are formed. I had heard of them nearly 50 years ago in a geology course in graduate school, but your explanation made the sand extrusions much more understandable!
Glad you enjoyed it
13:46 I’m starting to think you need to get out of the oncoming rainstorm! Fun video but stay safe & don’t get stuck or washed away, please.
that "wall" at 5:50 was absolutely AWESOME! I was missed the location, I'm assuming thats north america still but the color is so striking, reminds me of the red soil in Australia
Just another great video Myron. I think that these being formed naturally is much more fascinating than if they had been man made. Safe travels.
The drone footage has been really amazing lately. It really brings these videos to a new level where you can expand the context of the features in these great big picture type ways.
Really enjoyed this. Found a very recent clastic pipe in the base of bluff at Dungeness Spit on the straight of Juan De Fuca.
My guess is that if formed maybe as a result of a Cascadia quake.
Had many great geology teachers in my time that encouraged me to think for myself.... I can add you to the list. Very nice video shooting and editing!
This episode pairs really well with an episode that Nick Zentner and Skye Cooley do on Clastic Dikes in Washington State. But those samples are only seen from the side. It’s really interesting to see what a few million years difference will make. I love the analogy that both Volcanic and Sedimentary dikes are created from immense pressure.
I’m just glad to see a simple (so to speak) explanation for the natural erosion and formations found out in the high desert. The wall is really interesting as recent explorations have revealed a much more extensive civilization that died out after building mounds, trade, and a civilization that faded away before the European invasion with its infectious diseases.
Now this is the respite that I need….. Thank you for this channel.
Thanks for the wonderful video and sharing your love of geology! You really know how to walk us through the scientific method in solving the mystery of this wall. At about 17 minutes in, I felt the lights go on in my head, like "oh! that finally makes sense!"
Glad you enjoyed it!
Myron, since you're not too far away, could you please do a video at Sage Wall, Montana? Thanks for all you do!
They look like melted castles.. as if they were hit with a huge plasma beam…
You make geology so interesting! A big Thank you!! Can’t wait to travel out west again
I've seen your other video on the quicksand pipe. This is fascinating. Thanks for the lesson.
There are pretty awful things going on in the world right now but we are definitely living in an amazing era. Here I am in my room with some dark dystopian ambient sounds on the background, studying mathematics with the help of my free tutor GPT. My notebook touches the laptop's mouse and suddenly this video pops up, TH-cam algorithms in action of course. I stop doing my thing and I start watching and listening to this cool guy I didn't know existed, talking about very cool stuff. Awesome way to get interrupted. Video finishes, I subscribed to his channel and resume working on my calculus problems. This whole thing of us in this world is really a weird matrix. Sometimes I wonder how much farther Galileo, Newton, Da Vinci, Einstein and all those great minds would have gone living in this era.

Bright insight
@@LaughingblueSu will do
Melted cities, cooked walls and desintegrated structures... I say it as an archaeologist, and there are many examples of sich a severe "erosion" in accepted cases, such as Hawara pyramid: who would say it was a pyramid, if it hasn't been said? But if you take a closer look, you will see bricks, in horizontal raws. Sometimes everything is reduced to geology, in a sense of being barely recognizable.
An immediate observation that it's not likely to be a man-made artefact is that the jointing isn't very brick-like. Whether regularly or irregularly shaped stones, wall builders offset rocks from the layer beneath so that there's no column where if one lower stone is removed the column above is unsupported and collapses, or where only resisted by light friction to the sides the column can be tilted by comparatively light force and again collapse.
Myron these are my favorite videos on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, and curiosity with us all
thanks!
@@myroncookcould you please tell me where this was located?
A nice approach. Thanks. I imagine the "structural" appearance was due to sediment loading and then erosional unloading following the formation of the dike. Drying clays often begin to crack in near regular patterns.
You should do some geological articles about the sand blows from the New Madrid earthquake.
Hi Myron!
Thanks for drawing the little tree, I now have come to anticipate that little tree.
Thanks for explaining the process of formation. I was convinced (somehow) that the walls were all naturally formed (they just look that way to me), but I could not conceive how they might have been formed. Now I know. I think you are 100% correct in your explanation of how they formed, and it makes good sense.
I might be simple, but I find this fascinating.
So nice of you
Thanks so much, Mryon. I have been wishing for days you would post new content. Your videos are so educational, visually stunning, thought-provoking, and always put our foolish human concerns and foibles in relief against titanic forces of nature and time scales. You are a treasure. I am driving from the US east coast cross-country in a few days and am looking forward to seeing things with new eyes based on what you have taught me. I never took any geology courses, but I wish I had. What is more fascinating than this amazing planet we all live on?
Love your thoughts...enjoy your trip!
I was paying attention (really!), but- can you tell me what those blue flowers are, starting @0:44 ?
I loved this video. Not surprising, because I have enjoyed every video of yours I have seen so far. Thank you very much for making them.
