Excellent and understandable presentation. 4:50 - (RANT) Remarkable that the rudimentary drawings of ancient humans survive the ravages that scour other surfaces clean. Keep Ithaca Gorges!
Are you sure that the rounded rock the presenter is holding in the segment explaining erratics is in fact an erratic? It looks more like a piece of local massive sandstone that has been rounded by its journey down the creek from the Six Hundred. Many of the smaller rounded rocks are local and just stream-abraided, a point the presenter does not bring out. Definitely the igneous rocks in front of the presenter are erratics. The view is not close enough for me to decide, but it looks one colour and the same as our local rocks. The explanation is correct but I am not sure about that rock.
Fascinating!

well made. if I could turn back time, I'd become a geologist.
There are areas in Onondaga Hills area of Syracuse that have very similar inclusions.

That's Sixmile not Six Mile Creek.
