Hope you are good sir. your videos are great. the " law of faunal sucession" is personally my favorite one. You will be astonished to know that i am the only one in my whole geology class who beleives in evolution. Others think " its just a theory". Even some of our geology teachers dont beleive in evolution. I gave even a presentation to my whole class trying to convince them on evolution. They liked it but they still beleive in "creation". i am thinking about recommending this channel to all my geology fellows and juniors so that they can learn geology properly. Anyhow, i am glad to know that Sir William Smith got the credit in his life for all his hard work.
+Tauseef Ahmed Hello Tauseef, thanks for your kind words. I'll take a guess that you may be in Turkey. I know that few in that country buy evolution. My next few episodes will be on absolute age dating and take on some of the arguments of young earth creationists. Best of luck to you.
Yes and No. Slate is metamorphic (changed by tectonic heat and pressure) but was originally sedimentary shale (or rarely volcanic ash) complete with marine fossils. Sometimes the metamorphism destroys all trace of these organisms so the beds can only be dated by using the beds above and below the slate. However, with less metamorphic alteration, fossil traces, often deformed by pressure, can still be seen and even identified. More info at:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate#Fossils
@@alanthompson8515 thank you, that actually makes a lot of sense. i've been learning a lot, but there will always but something to learn. science rules!
@@mtbaird89 You are most welcome. You might like to browse some of the (more than 20) YT videos fronted by Dr Johnson Hass under the umbrella title: "Earth Parts". Mostly USA context but good stuff IMO and he covers just about every aspect of geology somewhere. Part 1 is at th-cam.com/video/oonRN4rXo5M/w-d-xo.html
@@alanthompson8515 thank yoh again, 😁 ever watched cvshoreys channel? he is a geologist teacher in Colorado. i will most definitely check his channel out. theres some videos on my channel I'd LOVE some advice on if you wouldn't mind? its my videos of caribou city, Idaho.
@@alanthompson8515 scratch that it seems the video caribou city ones are missing. but the other 3 are intriguing. sadly i didn't know as much at that point.
To a Brit using Welsh tribal names makes more sense than American names such as Mississippian. But I guess that's just familiarity with the local culture.

Thank you, great series.

Too bad for you believing in evolution. That determines the weaknesses of your logic.
@@vahagnmelikyan2906 Evidence beats religiously-motivated "logic" every time... and the evidence clearly shows that evolution is 100% valid.
does this principle apply to slate?
Yes and No. Slate is metamorphic (changed by tectonic heat and pressure) but was originally sedimentary shale (or rarely volcanic ash) complete with marine fossils. Sometimes the metamorphism destroys all trace of these organisms so the beds can only be dated by using the beds above and below the slate. However, with less metamorphic alteration, fossil traces, often deformed by pressure, can still be seen and even identified.
