The weathering pattern in the limestone is typical of a reef limestone. A lot of the structure you see in the rock is calcareous corals (but not modern day Scleractinia, which evolved shortly after the Permian extinction) and fusilid sponges "and what the shit"
Here in Michigan we have a stone with a similar appearance called the "Petoskey" stone . Anyone that has vacationed w small children along Lake Michigan or the northwestern lower peninsula probably has a small Petoskey stone (or 2?) setting somewhere in their home. Frequently covered in science classes in schools. Easy accessible way to get kids to "get it", this land was different.
While working in the ecology research I pushed myself to learn botany. Now I'm on a geology kick, which makes what you do the ultimate nexus of education. Thanks for that
Looks like your time and work is paying off. Congratulations on the rapid increase in subscribers. This is very high quality educational entertainment.
*Your channel is brilliant, and wonderful, and you're going to have a million subs in no time. Just keep what you're doing, and get ready. And please don't let the fame change you. Ever.*
I’m an orchid geek and just found your channel this morning. You, sir, are a jewel💎‼️ You’re a walking botany encyclopedia who’s funnier than a barrel of monkeys.. I swear, you would KILL doing stand up!
I hate those damn balloons too. My record for collecting them stands at 11 on a one day 14 mile hike in the foothills of southern California. There were a couple I just could not reach, though I tried.
Geriatric checkin' in. 75 y.o. Take me with you and I'll key out species and baby sit Jack. LOL Thanks for stuffin' my head with beautiful and amazing places and plants. Carry on.👵🐕🌵🌻🌴🌋
Would you consider making a video where you “key out” a plant that you’re unfamiliar with? As of current, I (a mere schmuck) am limited to field guides organized by flower color.
That would be nice. Quick tip: learning what morphological traits different genera and families have is fascinating and will give you insights even if you don’t recognize a specific plant.
Thanks for the tour. I have stood on the rim of Diablo Canyon over by the railroad bridge and wondered what was down there. A few miles west, over toward Flagstaff, is another canyon (maybe the same one), Walnut Canyon, where you can get down there and see prehistoric cave dwellings.
I think Jack is trying to herd Mr Santoro back up the canyon wall where he belongs. I"m sure it is hard on any herding dog's nerves to let his pack wander aimlessly like that beyond his control. Plus someone has to be on bathroom patrol. Apparently Mr Santoro can't be trusted in the bathroom without montioring. Good job Jack!
My personal mission is to teach this & hand pull as much ragweed as I can. The poison peddlers bring sammies & sell gallons to the power companies & county crews. They could cut costs & improve local conditions by just letting the natives grow & let THEM compete for resources. Another case of something that CAN be done but SHOULDN'T be done. Short term thinking creates long term problems.
Hey I know where that is! You’re so close to Flagstaff! Come to town, I’ll tell you all the good spots for plants. 😊 AZ walnut trees! Also, we have a saying out here, it’s not a good hike in the wilderness until you find a mylar balloon. You win! Did the fossil have compartments across the shell? Might not be ammonite but could be Gastropoda. 🤷🏼♀️
You know the biggest thing thus far, this channel has taught me is that in my neck of the woods so many of our plants are invasive. So ugh thanks for that! Hah all that aside thanks for the awareness come to Washington!
From these videos I learned that mullein isn’t native to North America, and I got to teach my horticulturalist sister something about plants! Suffice to say that’s never happened before and it made me feel pretty damn special.
That Symphoricarpus is a Honeysuckle blew my mind. I had it in my head as Ericaceae forever. Shit, I should look stuff up more often, I'm getting to where I think I know things and that, friends, is hubris.
Ahhh, AZ is so beautiful! The plants here are crazy too! To be able to thrive in such an intensely hot, arid place that rarely receives rain is beyond impressive and almost inspiring in a way. Even through the harshest conditions, they're still growing strong.
Wild Hops in Arizona The mountains of southern Arizona and New Mexico are the southern end of the native range for humulus lupulus neomexicanus, the wild hop of the American West. Here in Arizona, they are scarce and isolated, often hidden away in remote locations at high elevations. Chances are you’ll never see one unless you know where to look.
Somebody has mentioned to me somewhere else that this species is rare? I know little about it. It was thriving there though. Somebody should go collect some cuttings and propagate more of it.
I nearly wet myself from laughing at Jack following you down. So funny. Jack would benefit from 2000mg CBD Oil. My 12yr old pup is like a 3yr old. Love your work, mate. If you come to Australia I'd make sure your sorted. Love ya work
This goldenrod Solidago velutina is pollinated by insects not wind so it doesnt cause allergies ....there is another one of the same common name that does
"i wish they made benadryl for people" haha nothing worse than being allergic to people...they're everywhere. i don't get the sneezing when i'm around them...just the nausea. you make entertaining and informative videos keep it up!
Ammonoids were more diverse in the Mesozoic than the Paleozoic. Also ammonoids are phylogenetically closer to coleoids than to nautiloids. Nautiloids and ammonoids coiled their shells convergently. Great video.
I had actually been wondering of those highly salt tolerant plants you previously spoke on uptook the salt. Do you happen to know if anyone has ever tried gradually remediating overly salty soil with plants like this?
I'm experimenting a bit with mulching salt brush (atriplex canescens) in northwest colorado. It produces lots of biomass very quickly, and when mulched repeatedly to leave only one to three upright stalks per root responds by forming a high canopy over the mulch layer, effectively shading and reducing wind evaporation of the soil, allowing recruitment of understory plants. This land is missing the megafauna that came through and did all the stomping down of the brushy plants until the end of the last ice age.
@@sparkyplugclean2402 Very interesting stuff. When you mulch the harvested branches does it seem like you would be able to use a press to extract any fluid from the end product? My thinking being that one could press some of the high salinity fluid out and replace it by soaking in a small amount of fresh water before spreading it, in the hopes of diluting the total ground salt quicker. I don't know if you could get even a drop out though. Your way may be the best though. Just a gradual dilution of the salt with biomass.
@Atlas WalkedAway, the general goal is to stop the soil water from evaporating instead of transpiring from plant tissues That is what leads to salt buildup. This combined with healthy soil development from organic matter deposition and plant community succession as soil conditions improve lead to salt uptake and retention by animal and soil life.
Love you, Tony! You never hold anything back, do you? Nice in this day and age of political correctness. Someone just being them self . Just a take me or leave me type of attitude. Your knowledge base makes you such an interesting person and I like learning from you. I actually think you're just a big ol' teddy bear at heart. 😉 Love how you speak to and talk about Jack, your best friend! Aliens....😂😂😂 Please do take the ammonite. Really cool find!
Brickellia smells so nice! Love that part of the country. Don't worry about Jack, he has 4-wheel drive. It's you we aren't sure about! I LOVE Atriplex, canescens being my fave. It's turning beautiful fall colors right now. Solidago is gorgeous, most of them anyway. Balloons of all kinds suck. Juglans californica nuts are so sweet. Tiny and almost impossible to crack open, but worth the effort. I'll have to try munching on some of those J. major nuts sometime.
When calcium carbonate dissolves it produces carbonic acid that dissolves itself and produces those characteristic dippled pattern. I think it's called autoerosion. Don't quite me though.
Although I would have done the same thing, any problems going-down/at-bottom/coming-up and 911 or self-extraction could have been problematic. Just say’n. ....... and where is that place! It is just too cool! I want to explore it!
This is definitely one of those times for "don't do stupid stuff while you're doing stupid stuff". Climbing down a canyon alone is stupid/dangerous/etc, don't add on to the danger. Keep your wits about you, don't do anything stupid, and you'll probably be okay.
Yes, Solidago often gets blamed for fall allergies, but its actually Ambrosia sp. (ragweed) that people are allergic to, which tends to bloom around the same time and wind-disperses its pollen, unlike goldenrods that are insect pollinated. So really there is no excuse!

I have to admit I got excited seeing the fossil with the cast. I need to get my city ass out more to some fossiliferous areas
I spent a lot of time in that neighborhood and sure miss it. I saw lots of nice game trails down there - great for us wildlife photographers.
