thanks for the video and i’d say he’s normal in my world . i don’t go anywhere with out a hammer and some gold pans which i found fit nicely in spare tire rim under the trunk floor even if it’s a trip for shopping in a far away place i will always have them
Very informative and interesting. I was just thinking about breccia pipe and it’s relationship with structure due to being involved in an exploration copper project in Ontario, Canada. Found this really helpful! Thank you so much.
Yes. Breccia pipes are commonly thought of in isolation because they tend to be round in plan, but even the most explosive fluid will still find the easiest path through the crust and that is usually up a structure!
Those ‘baby breccia pipes’ remind me, in miniature (analogous), to a diamond field in Aus I mapped where I had the sense they all coalesced at depth and the large diatreme was yet to be found and not too far away. Mapping of the cover rocks (sedimentary basin) suggested the diamondiferous k. pipes had moved along planes of weakness in the overburden (Riedel shears) but broadly followed a regional lineament at depth.
It really is a great field trip location for students. I'm sure there are many more lessons in structural geology there that I'm not qualified to teach.
The rocks in this video were so nice I had to look up the back story....Are they Cambrian? Lots of great stuff in the video. Thank you for making it. I'd like to see the Cambrian - Neoproterozic bounday in S. Austrailia. What is the tectonic history? As far as the breccias...at 3:16 the clsts look very angular, blocky and LARGE. They look different than the hydrothermal breccia at 5:16. I'd like to hear more discussion on the clast and matrix lithology/fossils/mineralogy and if they differ from the unit hosting them. Does the breccia tell you what lies lower in the strat column? A+ rating.
There are so many interesting stories in rocks that it is a tough decision which ones to follow up in detail. I should do more with other people who already have the detailed knowledge.
You are doing and A+ job...don't doubt yourself....some guests in the field with you would be good...or videos collecting hand samples then discussing them with others in a clip.... This all takes a lot of time and effort. It's very much appreciated. Thnk you. @@GeologyUpSkill
Amazing video❤ this really help me to study about geology. May be can I request a video about epithermal low sulphidation deposit based on quartz texture🙏
Great location and great discussion.
Geology adds a whole other layer of interest to interesting locations :)
Only a real geologist takes all his field gear and video cameras when he takes a break from geology to go fishing! Interesting breccia story too.
🤣 Ok, I might be just a little bit obsessed...

A great outcrop there... helped me explain sth I saw in Upper Peninsula of Michigan... Keep up the good work.
Thanks. Glad you found it useful.
Fascinating Nick, what you can figure out on a fishing trip!
What better recreation for geologists than rock fishing?!

Amazing find!
I thought so too :)

I'm sure control mechanisms for kimberlites finding their way through the crust are very similar, just on a larger scale.
fascinating. Thanks for putting this together.
I love unravelling the stories in rocks and it's rare to find one like this without any pages missing!
Wonderful Video, great detailed analysis of structure and rock type - A great spot for a field trip a wonderful outdoor classroom.

Do you ever see pseudotachylite?
@@jacksprat9972 I haven't seen any, but I believe there are some spectacular occurrences in Africa.
Interesting things, thanks for sharing!
Breccia pipes are always interesting to me and it's rare to see them so well exposed outside a mine.
AWESOME INFO" CHEERS from -2c Idaho!
Breccia pipes are awesome in all shapes and sizes :)
Fascinating.
I thought so too. That's why I made the video!
Are you going to come up to the flinders ranges at some point too?
Actually I did a 3rd year field camp there while studying at Flinders University mappping a huge sedimentary breccia in a Cambrian submarine canyon.
Brilliant content
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Amazing video❤ this really help me to study about geology. May be can I request a video about epithermal low sulphidation deposit based on quartz texture🙏
Thanks Afandi. I am working on a series all about quartz textures. It should be published last half of this year.
I have watched the video, very great explanation. Thank you.
Excelente
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
SUPER" INFO!
Thanks. I love those mini examples where you can see the whole system in miniature.
That's a Tommy Rough much better eating than salmon trout
Either way, the geology was better than the fishing that day!
