A Blue-Collar Slob's Geology Primer

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
- In an uneloquent and somewhat scattered manner, we bring you a 30 minute disjointed intro into plate tectonics, rock types and everything you might need to know in order to understand why certain plants occupy certain regions of the globe and how to BEGIN to understand what the shit rock you might be looking at in a roadcut or on a mountainside and the venues through which you might be able to figure such a thing out (ie looking at a geologic map on an app such as "Rock'd" or reading a used and tattered geology textbook).
Geology is tied directly into botany and plant ecology, plus having a good understanding of the geologic timescale (not touched upon in this here vid) is a good way to calm your ass down when the anxiety is gettin' you turned up and you feel like you might be prone to attacking your boss, your neighbor or yourself.
Join us as CPBBD and your resident blue-collar slob Tony Santoro try to get you hooked on the gateway drug that is Geology. You'll be filling your pockets and the trunk of your car with strange rocks and pebbles soon enough.

But don't even feel obliged to do any of that - if anything just go study this stuff on your own and share it with the others. Understanding plants and rocks make the world exciting again.
Again, if you say stupid shit or act like a dick, your silly ass will be silenced. TH-cam endows me with a very wonderful "shut the fuck up" button for the kooks and creeps who can't behave like adults in the comments section and I'm trigger happy as hell with it. Takes me half a second. The comments section is a benevolent dictatorship. If you want to spew nonsense, conspiracy theories, quack science or just plain rude comments you'll be removed like a bobbing turd with a pair of aluminum tongs from a punch bowl.

the cursing is what helps me remember
Keeps me from having high blood pressure !!
Fricking A!
Cursing as a mnemonic device, that could be a thing.
Fuck.
The cursing helps so fucking much!
@@carennorthcutt7724 you can say “fucking”. It’s cool.
Dude if you keep making videos like this you could end up end up teaching a ton of people.
You're like the coolest teacher no one had at school.
Shitbags right!🤘 perhaps I would have continued into college if I had had a professor or teacher like you.
Can you imagine the adds if this guy did a MasterClass? It would be amazing.
@@natejansen892 I want a thread with
" What to the kooks & creeps " are writing ".
Let get his ass to
New Caldonea.
Nate Jansen yup. Every middle school and college should pay him to come and speak about the earth sciences. Of course, they would want him to clean up his language, but IMHO that’s part of the magic which makes him so fascinating to listen to.
What is your take on Earthquakes caused by fracking?
"Geology's going to fuck up your reality in the most beautiful ways." As a geologist, I find this phrase to be profoundly elegant, and I'm going to steal it!
“A fart’s whiff of an understanding of it.” I’m stealing that.
🤔 So, do you find yourself bent over, shopping the lower shelves in crowded grocery stores? Going for that whiff of jiff, are we? 😂 Soon you'll be taking vacations to places like Chicago with racks of rental bikes all over... sniffing all them seats and getting an understanding of the city's menu. 🤣🥓
Just enough whiff to wet your whistle
The TH-cam algorithm finally got something right 11/10
Ain't Joey worth a good burrito?!
Geologists are like everybody, most are gneiss but some are real schists.
I knew there was gonna be some metamorphic jokes in the comments. Thanks for representing.
Of quartz, any geologists can be a lil sour sometimes, so never take a good day for granite! You couldn’t be faulted if you did, though, we are all only human.
@@GogoGum Don't be so pessimistic, glasses of mineral always half full
* Wah wah wahhhhhhh *
Geology is like a BBQ. Burgers are gneiss but I'd rather schist kabob.
I've spent 3 years worth of time and money in college for the amount you teach in a months worth of videos......
Kindof makes me whanna die.
you were not dupped entirely .... but the business aspect of education levitated out of reality within reality
Yeah, my grammar school must have been award winning.
@guss whu As Niles says, not duped entirely; but now you have money .. with which you can do ... anything, something, take time off and re-engage. You're defn. on the right channel to do this - cheers
what were you doing in a college without geology?
I totally read that last line in his voice.
And for anyone looking for the most badass geology lectures that are dumbed down for us dummies, check out central washington University geology here on TH-cam. Nick zentner is a great story teller.
His podcast series is great as well. Those University lectures just keep getting better, can’t wait for the climate change one he’s putting together.
I was literally 10:58 into one of Zentner's geology lectures one night when I paused and looked to see who kept bumped my chair, and there was nobody there - we were having a (minor) earthquake! Best coincidence all year.
Yeah your right about Nick, what he said about all the different islands of rock coming on to the coastline was amazing , he also talked a lot about the juan de fuca and farallon plates etc too.
Nice! Just clicked on Nick On The Rocks - Season 3 Premiere now. That looks great. Thank you Mike. Joey will always be my Kromatite though, (very rare).
I agree - Nick Zentner is awesome!
I’m a guy who tends to never be able to explain anything to anyone. I envy your ability to explain things in such a way that is so knowledgeable yet explained simply. I like your little to no condescending way of explaining yet ruthless and to the point. Your very talented in many ways.
He is, isn't he. Sadly 99% of students who go into teaching are the useless shits. I know, I was a teacher (v talented!) but had to get out: the ed system is beyond repair. I have only one life so decided not to waste it. I am sorry for the kids.
@@opabinnier u sound like my ex. Talented and passionate, I always said it wasn't his job, it was his calling. He stayed in until it did so much damage to him, though 😢.
After many years and hard struggles, he found his way back to the general area - sorta. He's creating (or revamping) a large corporation's in-house training program. I'm truly happy for him😊 It's a solidly positive environment, and he's so fulfilled again! Still...
the damage he took from school teaching was 10-15 years of his life, just post-teaching! 10-15 years of his kids lives. He's STILL struggling, as some days are better than others. There's so much lost.
I'm truly glad you got out. I feel sorry for the kids, too. But being trapped by that was exactly how my ex stayed trapped.
Not meaning you need my approval 😂 but I know the crap my ex took, because "THE KIDS!" 🤨 Putting my little voice in to counter that a little, just in case
Take care
Agapé 303
My sediments are that this was a gneiss geology refresher that too many of us take for granite or some schist.
That was in honor of my geology professor, Dr. James Huckabay, brilliant guy, who constantly tormented us with awful puns.
Wow, this is awesome. For me, this was back in the late 70s at the University of Colorado, Denver campus -- same fellow.
@@DirtyBottomsPottery yeah when I was still a student we used to joke about starting a metal band called Aggravated Basalt. Our first album would be Vesicular Manslaughter.
My Professor was the same
From a geologist, you’ve got a great handle on it! Your geology is better than my botany! Anyways, we’re all just observers
Really great vid. You make it fun. I hope that you'll do an intro into soil science someday.
Many thanks. GFY. Bye.
This is a great basic primer on geology. I started getting interested in the subject last year after visiting a remote area in southwestern Minnesota called Gneiss Outcrops Scientific and Natural Area. The rocks on the prairie surface are over 3 billion years old, some of the oldest surface rocks on the planet. Standing next to them, knowing they are from the basement of time, and being surrounded by nothing but insects and prairie wind was one of the most peaceful but mind-blowing things I experienced in 2018.
My favorite place to explore is Newfoundland.... Rocks with fossils millions of years old, the Flora and fauna is like nothing we see here in the states. And the ocean is there...whales, icebergs, puffins... berries... So much to see! Just a thought for ya Tony. They say it was once part of Ireland before the continents drifted.
Nfld’s Mistaken Point Ediacaran fossils are wild!
Tony, thank you, dude! I am humbled by you willingness to share your studies with us: people you don't even know. You are a beautiful human, man.
Hey if you ever wish to explore the wilds of Humboldt County, I would be honored to escort you safely to some pretty remote and primative areas. I guarantee you will see plants yet unnamed. Peace brother!
Finding Nature and all it’s forms absolutely saved me from 28 years of insane drug and alcohol addiction. I went to volunteer in the late 90s at Chicago’s only nature center and found great spiritual, and emotional reasons to stop and have a reason to live. I actually have given talks about this and people just don’t understand until people like us show them. Thank you. We need more folks like us to spread the word. Especially important is getting people in heavily urbanized regions to understand that nature is all around us, if we know how to look.
By the way,have you ever visited Dave’s Rock Shop in Evanston? Take the red line to Howard and transfer to the Purple line. Get off at Main Street and it’s right there. The shop is known for all its fossils, and stones. They have an amazing fossil museum in the basement. Just as rewarding as a trip to the Field Museum, or the Smithsonian Natural History museum in DC.
the metric scale on your finger is literally the best thing i've ever seen.
fucking genius
This is the greatest unintentional comedy ever. Never change.
Lost count of how many times I LOL'ed to this.
I adore him.
Amazing, engaging, entertaining and informative. It got me out of bed at 4.15am(uk time)after a late shift to watch. Brilliant. A ray of light in my dark, sad and insignificant life. :)
Chin up Colin, we're all in the same boat, it's just most of them don't realise!
The cursing makes it genuine and lively. It suits the abrupt way you communicate and really highlights your love for the things you talk about. I don't hear swearing, i hear passion
i took geology in 9th grade but later they dumped it from the curriculum in massachusetts.
it's when i was taught to be skeptical particularly of what everyone is sure of - we were taught that even though everyone thinks that california is going to fall into the pacific ocean, it's really headed north towards alaska.
I think "Hey you silly f*cks" should be your trademark intro.
Honorary member of the Silly Fucks club .... should be a t-shirt
I love how friendly and genuine it was.
“G’fuck yourselves.”
I think it’s a better send off than AvE’s “Keep your dick in a vice.”
What a thrill to see Basin & Range in your library! I have had that book since it came out in the early-1980s, I've never been able to bring myself to let it go...
You are so self deprecating. You are an awesome explainer, I hope there are teachers that use your videos in schools.
Excellent stuff. I'm not really a comment leaver, but I've been meaning to post a comment on some of your previous videos asking if you could do a little more on geology - then I wake up this morning, and here it is without me having to ask!
So glad I discovered your channel, keep up the good work, and all the best from this Londoner transplanted to Ireland and what the shit.
Learning Geology completely changed the way I view our planet. I used to find the Eastern Australian landscape so unbelievably boring as a child but grew to appreciate it once I learnt it hosted the 3rd largest flood basalt of all time and that's why EVERYTHING LOOKS THE SAME. I have since moved away from what I dub the "boring basalt plains" and have appreciated geology even more ever since. Being able to diagnose the formation of a new area profoundly changes how you view it.
Man I love these videos so much, When I'm Hiking in the sierras on the weekends I keep looking out for plants and minerals, It makes the hikes more engaging
Is that what my problem is? I don't really understand 'hikers'. Theres so much geology, botany, meterology to look at and all my mates are strolling on by ... I'm way out the back taking pics of rocks 'n things *facepalm*
Thank you for your awesome video!!! I’m so very happy to have found your channel!!! I’m an almost 70 yr old science geek & love watching all your videos. Take care & with much sincerity go FY ❤️
Every time I watch one of your videos I go to bed thinking about all kinds of fascinating aspects of our world. Just like you said. That’s why I’m so glad you’re here.
I love all you guys ... I can spend ages here, with the video stopped in the middle, wandering through the comments ... just wonderful, gneiss an' all dat, no schist at all, just common folks enjoyin'. Of quartze I love geology, it rocks.
You are the teacher I never had. Please keep putting these videos out; you are valued. Thank you for your time.
"Utterly humbling, it leaves you with the feeling of how insignificant you are- but in the most incredible and beautiful way". Agreed, and I really feel like this is the state we should usually be in (without substances). So sad humility isn't in vogue anymore.
I never appreciated geology much before, my view was too narrow. Expanding that window is what I'm all about, as slowly as it may happen. Thanks for planting the geology 'seed' for me with earlier videos. My coworkers now have the added amusement of watching me geek out on rocks we see on site, as well as the plants.
• canada has a gravitational "dead zone" in the hudson bay - gravity is less than the 32ft/s^2 [9.8m/s^2]
• my favorite rock was "blue-green schist"
• dinosaur bones were first being discovered contemporaneously with darwin's beagle voyages.
• some of the first specimens were found near me under a terminal moraine [final position of the leading edge of a glacier]
• i created a dig site as a research project and got 6" down before i had to go in for dinner
• yes, obsidian IS dragonglass
jim ewok Hudson’s bay is still rebounding from the weight of the historic ice sheet. Cheers from near the Cooking Lake moraine in Alberta: edge of Glacial Lake Edmonton.
is the 'glacial rebound' considered the reason for the gravity thing? there's all topographic variations around the globe n distance-from-center pretty much holds tight to know the acceleration due to gravity.
also, i read that the ocean floors are calculated to be lowering - for some reason or explanation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
jim ewok not sure on the gravity thing-you’re the first I’ve heard bring it up. Interesting to look into.
If the anomaly is very little less than the normal surrounding then it will be due to the rebound. However is not the world full of anomalies? Like gravity will be different at the middle of the Pacific when compared to the Himalayas? I can't imagine that it's exactly the same all round this bumpy, lumpy, world we live in?

Long, long ago I was in the crew that installed the guardrails on Coon Hill Rd, just south of 20, near Marcellus, NY. Yes, that Marcellus. I spent my lunch hours climbing the road cut on the north side, crinoid stems were everywhere, they would come apart like a pack of LifeSavers in your hand. Road cuts- fun and educational!
Thank you for reminding me of the things I had forgotten. I used to be heavy into this, and lost sight of it with the daily grind! As always, keep up great work.
this is my favorite youtube channel of all time
Man, I love the way you can make education engaging and kinda comical at times! Every video you make is top notch, keep em coming!
Excellent!! Got me a B.S in Forestry. Learned this stuff over 20 yrs ago, most of my jobs required that degrees but still as poor now as when I was a college kid. Still in love with our Earth; was never about the $$ anyway. Keep it up man! Crime pays but (none of the earth sciences) do. You rock. Haha
Great vid. My favorite rock is Sharon conglomerate. A nice mix of pebbles in sandstone. Glacial grooves look amazing in this type of rock.
You're the best channel on youtube, and I've spent 10000 hours here.
Having a ruler tattoo has got to be one of the most genius things I've ever seen.
What a fantastic video, thanks for telling about the app! I have always wanted to look for fossils, but since I thought there were mostly pre-cambrian rocks in my country I just settled to look at the igneous rocks and the current plant life.
However, the app showed some nearby regions with sandstone deposits from the devonian and the silurian period. What a time to be alive!
Btw, love the podcasts keep them comming, they're great to listen while studying!
I am a geologist. And you are amazing! Keep doing what you are doing, I love it.
Man I love these videos so much! Please don't stop making them. I am learning so much
Wow, that map is too cool! Love that displacement of the granite where the San Andreas meets the Garlock! Those two faults form the Mojave desert graben. I'm a bit of a geology nerd myself. Back in the day, my sister worked in the seismo dept. of Caltech for many years, and I had the pleasure of going on two geology field trips led by Bob Sharp before he passed. He wrote some very good roadside geology books that I still treasure, mostly Calif. geology. When one holds a stone in their hands, they are holding the physical history of the planet. Mind blowing!
Road cuts are the best. Ever seen a double profile? It’s jaw dropping!
EVER CHANGE.... thank you for sharing
I like your style dude. And that macphee quote is very good!
I want to comment about the average person not knowing anything about the earth they live on or what you said. That is absolutely true. I am a product of Baltimore City School system and they really did a sad job . I love learning so I seek out on my own. This has gotten easier as I got older but they didn't even teach me how to seek info. I love your videos mostly the mountain deserts because that's where I live now. You did some Utah n Nevada videos and I actually knew some of those n that was cool. Keep sharing your knowledge with us we need it.
You are raising the consciousness of humanity with knowledge
there is only one good -knowledge and one evil --ignorance.- Socrates
We need to remember who we are and move away from what we’ve become. Xoxo
Good shit. It would be cool if you did some like week long classes all around the planet teaching plants and geology. Appreciate the connection between the two. You rarely find a teacher who knows both.
Have you seen the Australian section of his channel? It's very good.
@@ValeriePallaoro some of it, yeah
Geology student here. For a textbook, I'd highly recommended the physical geology textbook by Tarbuck and Lutgens. It's called Earth: an Introduction to Physical Geology. For Historical Geology, you want Prothero's book, but whatever you do, don't get Earth's Evolving Systems by Ronald Martin. It's what they used in my Historical Geology class and it's trash. The text is alright, actually, but the pictures were clearly made by someone who doesn't know shit about the subject. They will only serve to confuse you.
Physical Geology and Historical Geology are the first two classes you'll take at any university in your freshman year getting a geology degree. If you wanna delve deeper, you'll have to learn mineralogy and petrology, but these are rough to teach yourself and there's really only one mineralogy textbook used worldwide which is extremely dense and difficult to read. Mineralogy is the foundational science of geology, though, and anything more complicated than the aforementioned freshman classes will require it as requisite knowledge.
Nick Warren--- Since I have a few years of geology experience, what mineralogy textbook did you find worthwhile. It's been a lifelong hobby and business (past) for me, and I still enjoy going out and also learning more. Thanks for your suggestions in Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't.
Hey Tony, I ordered one of your hoodies. I hope it helps you to keep doing what you do. It's very important, and I spread the word about you whenever I can.
Thank you for making this video. Seriously, thanks. I'll take it from here.
I'm dying looking at the rocks on your table. You don't collect plant samples, but like the rest of us you can't keep your mitts off the rocks!
Yeah ... that moment when he said 'I got this trilobite from ... around here' ... gobsmacked!! Totally.
What the Schist...?!?!
That's really Gneiss...😏👍
Your comment rocks.
I would be really Gniess if I could get my Schist together...😲
Your articulation is just fine brother !!
Steven Marshak's "Essentials of Geology" is a good introduction that can be easily found online for free. Better than most you'll find online.
Also central Washington University has over a dozen lectures by Nick Zenter on TH-cam on the geology of Washington State. His audience is the public so it's very accessible while also being in depth.
N. Caledonia dreamin'? Pine Island to the south looks interesting. My fascination is turning to the role of fungi as organizer. With lichen being fungi farming algae; just how integral is fungi's role in the development of plant cells? Get's deep quick.
great job! I am a geologist, with a PhD. Loved your f-bombs and your excitement about geology
I was fascinated as a little kid by rocks & by the patterns of the cuts I saw all around me while growing up in Western PA. Then came time for me to learn about it all in school, & I was so ready for it! Unfortunately, it was incredibly disappointing. I couldn't believe how dull it all became.
I sincerely wish there were more teachers who showed your level of passion & interest. Although you often mention how much you don't know, or how you're not an expert in something, you share information in such a way that makes me curious to learn more on my own. You have a wonderful ability to create this exciting jumping off point, you know? It's very, _very_ cool!
Geology Rocks!
Great lesson. Thanks, from the southside of Chicago. I hit up the forest preserves for mushroom "hunting" and kayaking on the Calumet Rivers, so totally love what your doing. A great way to start the day during the lockdown. As you say, being aware of what surrounds you humbles and put you in your place. Be well and safe, brother.
Keep an eye out for Hibiscus laevis later on the summer flowering on those canals.
here’s some feedback for you: amazing. don’t gotta change anything just keep doing what you’re doing it’s perfect. I’ll second the central washington university recommendation re nick zentner for anyone looking for more on west coast geology.
Wish had teachers like him,learned something today. Cooked rocks change,exelente!
Thank you for the information on geology, you have sparked my interest to look into rock formation. Very interesting.
John McPhee got me started so I’m try to find some I-80 sites on business trips
I can’t imagine a better short explanation and I taught for 30 years.
Opening with a John McPhee quote, Gneiss.
Never fall out of love with learning Tony! You're my hero!
You make me laugh, and you make me think... what could be better than that? You make me interested in learning, again... college kind of took that love away. Thank you sir.
@crime pays but botany doesn't awesome man, been waiting for one like this. A geologist, member many mining groups there. are many lands we can explore, cameraman and editor if you ever need a hand making a series about this. im in costa rica but will be on west coast to alaska helping friends most of next year.
Re: Large crystals. The Devils Tower is Wyoming is a maginificent example of slow cooling of igneous rock. The phonolite porphyry has formed giant elongated crystals. Also, the Giants Causeway in Ireland and the Devils Postpile National Monument in California are amazing examples.
A great book is Introduction to California Soils and Plants by Kruckeberg. He talks about "kooky soils" like serpentine, carbonates, volcanics, and the amazing plants that are associated with them.
Please keep swearing. It’s what makes this channel so great
I’d love to hear you on a podcast
The JRE audience will go wild for this
You should listen to the CPBBD podcast then. 24 episodes and counting.
Also try In Defense of Plants episode 186.

God bless you Tony.
This is pretty Gneiss bro
I'd love to see you go to Brooks Point on Pender Island and talk about the amazing geology of the Cascadian subduction zone and gush over the flora and maybe even a little fauna.
You are an amazing geology professor. I have a very limited interest in geology but your videos are totally engaging and humbling.
I don't care if you swear and cuss, I enjoy your videos. Knowing our Earth can bring you closer to it.
Damn it Marie, they're not rocks theyre minerals
You are a true national treasure...thanks, not just for the info but for the inspiration to care.
You're thought provoking, educational and entertaining. Thanks for the introduction to Geology.
You're my favorite geology professor.
Gonna be keeping my eye out for those nice juicy intrusive igneous rocks. ^_^
thank you, really interesting.
Listening to you makes me happy! Keep up the great work.
I know that you made this two years ago, but I want you to know that it's still a super valuable source of knowledge and joy. Keep on doing what you're doing and telling people to go fuck themselves.
I love the quotes you put at the beginning of your vids and the one on this vid was my favorite by far.
Your Primers on chemistry, nuclear physics and cosmology would be equally valuable, entertaining, educational and every other good thing on the planet. It all seems to be "What is the electron up to today in this particular application?" Side note...do you have friends? Life can be lonely when you have strong interests in something besides sports, fashion, politics and what Mary Jo said/did at the movies last night.
Tony, you were thinking of trona. The tuffa towers and lime stone valleys of the mojave are spectacular.
Wow; I am new to your channel. What a blast - best classes ever. I stayed up too long last night. Very entertaining and informative.
My silly ass is watching a guy yelling at raks and plants, ya prik! I truly appreciate these videos. Keeps me sane...
There is a series from Europe, Voyage of the Continents, that covers a lot of this well. Plus it’s nice and calm.
howdy frum my bros rock shop/jewlery. moonlighgemstones in marfa, west texas. gud show bro.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours my guy. Much appreciated as always I'll send you some coin for a coffee when I get back
Great video as usual. Keep up the good work. We are learning lots from you. Don’t change; I think most people stay because of your style of teaching.
This is quality content, never lost my attention and interesting anecdotes. Keep it up amigo, the world could use more people like you.
Wonderful video, Tony. Thanks.
Informative, as always. Really enjoying your stuff mate.
