Thank you so much for the kind feedback, glad to hear that the information was digestible! We look forward to further providing informative geology videos for humans young and old!
We greatly appreciate your kind feedback, in addition to your great username! Texas has some incredible geology, stay tuned for future videos covering geology in Texas and the rest of the planet!
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful feedback! Our goal is to bridge the gap between the realm of complicated geologic information and the public, glad we could illuminate Austin's history a bit more! Stay tuned for more limestone, and dirt, and cool sparkly minerals and such!
I have a GREAT story about my college roommate sliding down and falling from the edge on Mt Bonnell. I see they've added walls now (this was 1974) and we (about 5 friends) were sitting enjoying the view through a break in the trees just to the south of the top of the stairs, and he creeped JUST far enough forward that he started sliding to the edge. No trees so he couldn't stop. A couple of our friends were saying "oh he's dead" rather non-chalantly while I was clawing to the edge on the scrub available to get to the edge without falling myself. When I for close enough to see over I could see there was a ledge not terribly far beneath with another slope where he'd tumbled some but was standing and cursing, having rolled into a bunch of beer cans bunched up against scrub lower down. MAN that was a breathless moment! On Mt Bonnell Dr there USED to be a small, ramshackle dive bar, VERY isolated, on the way up from the north. It had a balcony on the back with a good sunset view, and chickens running around underneath. Man... those were the days. Research Dr was a two lane road north of town back then. I'm going to look to see if you cover Austin's Own Little Hawaii, Barton Springs.
Words cannot express our gratitude for such kind words, thank you so much - it's always fun learning and talking about Earth's geologic history, keep an eye out for future videos!
@@geobridge7556 I especially love seeing water trickle through gaps in the limestone after a good rain at the northwest corner of courtyard & 360 just north of the bridge. There is a sense of great natural beauty when I see this. Perhaps yall would consider doing a video on this. 🐃🪨
Huzzah to our fellow geologists! Thank you so much for the kind words, we hope to continue making more digestible and entertaining geologic content so stay tuned!
Great Video! I am going to show this to my structural engineering firm. On Friday for a little happy hour and then we are going to watch this video. Great job!! If y’all are still in town…should come by and visit us at Copeland Engineering, UT ‘95!! Hook ‘Em!
Sorry, but your information is based on the theory of evolution, which you erroneously speak of it as "fact" when most of it is estimated.. Since you don't know, you added millions of years, to try and make it believable. Many scientists disagree, so, please, stop misrepresenting evolution as fact.
It’s just what the evidence suggests. I don’t know why god would create so much evidence to suggest an older earth. I personally believe that an old earth is not a barrier to belief. The billions of years for the evolution of the universe is a flash in a pan for an eternal god. God’s glory is amazing. We can’t understand it, and in my opinion, you need to be comfortable with not knowing. You can get closer to understanding by for instance, getting a phd in geology. Then come back and complain after that if you still feel the same way.
Keanu Reeves gives a kick ass geology lecture while hiking Texas Hill Country. And f'kn Geddy Lee shows up. How did I miss this?
Lol 😂
Respect for Ben’s safety meeting breaks and how you all joined him at the end.
I love this so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.!
Why does play-doh always work?! 😂🤣
Wow! Impressed! Great job!
Thank you so much for the kind words, stay tuned for more dirt stuff!
Very ‘solid’ work. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks for creating and sharing 🙂
This has a chill 90’s vibe 😎
Thanks for sharing so much information in an easy-to-follow video.

Awesome Geologic Tour of Austin
Thank you for the kind words Subharag, keep your eyes peeled for more dirt-related content!
I'm from Texas. Great video, very informative!

I’ve been to Mount Bonnel and Bartons Springs. Amazing to witness such rich geologic history of Austin TX.
Awesome info. Thank you for sharing and putting it together. So much info. Wow..great job. A lot of limestone too

Great job guys ... 👌
We really appreciate the kind words Souvik, it always means a lot to share cool geology stories with people who appreciate them, stay tuned for more!
Great info! Nicely done.
Thank you so much Craig, keep your eyes peeled for more dirt, and rocks, and minerals, and Earth stuff!
Fascinating and informative!!
great stuff!
Thank you for the kind words, stay tuned for more!
Amazing video!
Our weeping hearts😭...thanks Sierra!
Very educational..if it was half as fun to make as it looks, it was also well worth your time. Great job guys.

Thanks guys for the lesson. I need to know more about this.
We really appreciate the kind feedback, we look forward to illuminating more of the dark and dusty realms of geologic knowledge!
my latest tour of Balcones in Waco is found here - UPDATES th-cam.com/video/AC5q5mZZDnA/w-d-xo.html
That was fun and educational. I live on 360 and often wondered about the beautiful limestone geology, especially by the 360 bridge. Great job!
Thanks Binu! Some outcrops are truly mind boggling, especially along 360, stay tuned for more videos!

Good Job team Ben-Jackie-Dan.. Beautiful dogs by the way. What are their names?
Athena and Rocky! They definitely deserve a proper intro next video haha
This is good and appreciate sharing the knowledge. I'm a geologist in TX however, it is cringey in the edits. Thanks!
Huzzah to our fellow geologists! Thank you so much for the kind words, we hope to continue making more digestible and entertaining geologic content so stay tuned!
Mount bonell is one of my favorite places in all of austin to hike. ⚒️💎😁
Great job! The graphics are fantastic! You might consider mics in the future so we can hear you better in windy environments :)
Thank you!! And for sure! Mics are going to the top of the wish list!
Was the last location zilker park we use to have eyores birthday party celebration there
I use to smoke pot where y’all climbed up all those steps when I was in college in the 70’s
Thank you for the very interactive and educational video!
Good videos. Where is this crew located? Are you grad students?
Great Video! I am going to show this to my structural engineering firm. On Friday for a little happy hour and then we are going to watch this video. Great job!! If y’all are still in town…should come by and visit us at Copeland Engineering, UT ‘95!! Hook ‘Em!
How much pot did you guys smoke before y’all filmed this ?
Shouldn't it be *geological*?
or even Geology Tour?

Catastrophic worldwide flood far better explains this geology.

Rock don't lie. And their age doesn't lie. Period.
