    Once again Cook hits it out of the park. The library of work that Dr Cook is creating will excite and inspire generations of scientists. His passion for Geology is infectious yet more than entertain Dr Cook teaches the practice of observation, the comparative evaluation of what is being observed to what is known, and the application of critical thinking to piece together a puzzle or in this case a story. Bravo.

      ​​@@inyobill If Myron has grandchildren I wonder if they ever buried him on a beach and carefully exhumed him again while practicing archeological field techniques. A great chief's barrow and burial trove - a jeeps keys, assorted coins and credit cards, the bills are long gone (in my pocket now), a belt buckle, mostly disarticulated bones, a mobile phone, spearmint gum, some humbugs - quite the find as we imagine it.

    • @counciousstream

      The Sultan of Strata. Now that's a great moniker. I also agree that as an adult with an engineering education I can appreciate much more the physical and chemical properties that drive weathering, erosion, deposition, and conversion of sediment into rock. The kicker is Deep Time. It simply blows my mind because I get it.

    • @prototropo
      @prototropo 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That idea describes my life to a stratigraphic layer!
      As a kid I was magnetically obsessed with geology, paleontology, evolution, astronomy, geometry, music, art, architecture, archeology, GrecoRoman history, philosophy and anthropology. (Notice you didn't see algebra in there.) But I famously lacked the focus and perseverance to actually study, in depth, most of these.
      No longer; I have over a thousand nonfiction & didactic books, and can't find enough time to read, write or watch brilliant teachers like Myron.

  • @headlessspaceman5681
    @headlessspaceman5681 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Thanks for this insighful and contemplative video! There's not many things that would cause those depressions in the original sediments but plants must be considered, as well as animal burrows. Also it has to be determined that the pits are not from weathering, but original to the preserved top of the formation. But you make a great comparison between clear cow tracks, aged cow tracks, and the surface of the ground as generally disturbed by cows. Bioturbation is that word for that! Occasionally I will find a sandstone surface that is just covered in deep, irregular depressions but with no distinct tracks or trackways. More like a herd of cows drinking at a water hole. But still hard to say with confidence that you're looking at fossilized tracks, when all you have is a bioturbation or something like it. But it's always worth taking a close look. You may find one track or trackway out the whole mess that happens to be exceptionally preserved! The more you spend time watching animal tracks as they age and weather, the more adept you will become at also spotting fossilized tracks if there happen to be any in your local sedimentary exposures! Always look first at the sedimentary rocks when going to a new planet, to get an idea of what kind of life has existed there.

      @@terryt.1643 Apparently when reading we focus on the letters beginning and ending a word, we spot the pattern there in the beginning and ending and take little notice of the letters in-between. So I can forgive myself that, they both begin and end with "M" and "a" respectively.

    I live on a plateau at the foothills of the Appalachians, there's a lot of sand rock around here, I'll never forget how blown away I was to learn it used to be a River delta. I've really liked geology ever since.

    Fascinating how prominent the ancient river bed is in relation to the surroundings. Is this a common occurrence? Thanks for another interesting video! Cheers 🍻

      Not common at all.

    Nice video. I see stuff that looks like this in the Terry Badlands in Montana. Side point: you are going to loose your keys sooner or later by using them as a marker.🙂

    Thank you, Myron, for doing these informative videos. I think you would like to know that my grandkids are now fans as well. Its fun to see them lift their eyes from the video games and begin getting seeing the wonders of the world around them.

    In term of geological timescale, it's amazing to think that how mammals evolved from the size of a small dog for it's largest mammal species circa 65 million years ago, to ancient rhinos weighing 4 times African elephants, about 50 millions ago.
    10 million years in geological timeframe is just a blink in the eye.

    I just love Myron’s curiosity and love of the natural world. I feel his excitement and wonder. Just like when I found 520 million year old ripple marks in the canyon walls in Death Valley. It’s fascinating! I can’t get enough of these videos. Myron is outstanding!
