Peter Sprouse: "Caves and Groundwater in Northern Coahuila: Unlocking the Puzzle" 6/20/2018
Oscillating isn't "the word" for this video. The word "so" is the word for this video used in every single sentence in this video no less. Her grammar is ridiculously bad. Honestly, the word so used literally hundreds of times in just a few minutes. Hundreds. This is some kind of bizarre world record. It's so bad it makes the presentation unlistenable due to all the cringing taking place by the listener.
So cool!
The "age" of rocks has almost nothing to do with "where" they're found (especially when they're calved off from a larger specimen), "why" they are found in such bizarre shapes, locations, and blends, or "how" they got to their current location, or where shattered, infused, or ground to dust. North America, moreso than other continents, was "assembled", and not so long ago. That Pangaea idea is pure 19th Century thinking that outlived its valued long ago. A whole lot of "Six Blind Indian Fakirs Describing an Elephant to the Rajah" thinking going on. "Oh, we have these facts. Let's figure out a theory", IOW.
Privately owned? Don't pay your property taxes and you'll find out who owns Texas land. It's all privately rented.
What the hell is so special about this site that made it attractive for habitation for thousands and thousands of years? 🤔
There are talc schists around Van Horn, Texas. That qualifies as a metamorphic rock won't it?
This guy looks like a Fossilized version of Actor Dennis Hooper minus a Texan twang and add an east coast. NYC nasal accent.
I was thinking he looked like the dude from Saw
The Ouachita Marathon Mountains connected with the Appalachian Mountain Chain in Alabama. The Ouachita Mountains in SE Oklahoma and SW Arkansas are the remaining roots. There are two outcrops in Texas with one by Eagle Pass and one in the Hill Country. One can drive US 59 up to those in Oklahoma to see hairpin folding in the road cuts.
Giant armadillo fossils were found down here in Ingleside during the foundation digging of the high school as I understand. Also in in Portland.
The endless introduction to introduction.
What a great video learned alot... I've lived in Austin TX all my life..!i
Interesting dive. Would be nice to see the uncut dive footage. Thanks for the upload!
Thank You for this video, Dr. Wernecke is a wonderful speaker. Subscribed, thumbs up and downloaded.
I'm the author of Compass and I just came across this video. It is very nice. It is very interesting to listen to people talk about using Compass and the things that work well and the things that are frustrating. It gives me ideas about what things I might need to fix or improve. Thanks Ben for putting together the presentation. One comment: There was a discussion about Compass not saving more than one digit past the decimal point. That's not accurate. Compass data has a resolution of 0.01 feet or 3 milimeters. If you are working in Meters, that would be 0.003 meters, which is more than two digits. Also, what you see in the display does not indicate how many digits are saved. The display is completely separate from what is saved. For example, if you enter a value like 9.01 meters, the full value will be saved, no matter how many digits are displayed. The number of digits displayed is configurable. To do this, you select "Options->Editor Preferences" from the Editor Menu bar. Then select the "Edit Grid Format" page. Finally, you adjust the "Digits After the Decimal Point" option. When you are done, you can save the value so it is always the same when you run the Editor. To do this, you select "Options->Save Default User Settings."
So interesting!
Fun to see Matt. Love the podcast
✌️
Every bit of Utah is gorgeous, above ground and below, I'm fascinated by the Spanish presence and all the gold deposits on top of the natural beauty. Then you got the offroading lol. I might need to move
Thank you Ms. London. Once, I found a fossilized sea sponge about the size of a soccer ball in Wimberly TX, and now I know how it got deposited there.
Best answer "wife"!
Granite is not metamorphic! It's an igneous rock.
This video single-handedly brought us back from tears and despair. It was our extra cave snack you find at the bottom of your pack when you're on an 8 hour trip and already ate everything you brought.
I understand the lithography of the Appalachian mounts runs under the BigBend formations. Is the Balconies Fault part of this and in-effect a tectonic plate of shorts?
My favorite archeologist bar none
Great work! This is very informative! East Texas remained consistent based on this study.
thank u <3
Noah's Flood
Would be great to see the actual place
Very informative and interesting. Thank you.
History as it's known is false
What a great presentation. I’m stirred to, nay, COMPELLED to like and subscribe. I hope they’ll have Derek Bristol present next. I love him. These cavers.. they’re alright. I sure do like these promptly uploaded presentations.
This is fantastic! Thank you so much!
Loved it!!
Enjoyed very much .
Great presentation! Would have been cool to learn about the Trans-Pecos Magmatic Province in Texas. Thank you for this!
The presenter could really use some time practicing lecturing. Almost every sentence has got a "um" or two. It's annoying and distracting.
First, not all of us can be as perfect as you are so we don’t make rude comments. Second, it’s not near as bad as you seem to think it is. Last, I don’t know where you grew up nor do I care. In Texas, we talk like this. Get over yourself.
@@frankedgar6694 Taking offense to a simple and necessary criticism is the mark of a fool. If you put yourself out on the internet, you'd better grow a thicker skin. I listen to professional lecturers regularly, and trust me, it IS as bad as I think it is.
I find mant of the geology talks i try a listen to are filled with umm Um,um,um I think it is a result of the university educational program They are all umm skulls
They were nice enough to post it, they didn't have to
@@thenathanthomas Taking offense to a simple and necessary criticism is the mark of a fool. What does 'nice' have to do with high school level oratory?
Good day. Im beginner in doing cave mapping. Can I know the where can I download SVG exporter. thanks
the woman did a great job, the kid sounds like he was bored,and was making dinner.....
North of llano uplift the Continent is slowly moving West , south of it the Continent ( South America) is moving East.
This is the most informative explanation I've been able to find about the geology of Texas on RUclips. Thank you.
That's sad, cuz she doesn't know much.
@@bobroberts8500 There isn't very much information specific to certain areas of Texas on You Tube. She knew more than anything I could find at the time.
@@bobroberts8500 Can you point me to any extensive information on the geology of Northeast Texas? Not Dallas, but East of Dallas?
@@LesHeifner HGSGeoEducation. It's a yt channel. They have playlist with Texas in the name, going over SE Texas. If you wanna get real deep into the technicals, best bet is with oilmen webinars. Nobody knows what's under our feet more than them.
Look up.
Says the guy who uses lots of um, uh in your own presentations. I agree with thicker skin. Maybe you should get some. And don’t be so negative.
@@frankedgar6694 or not.
@@logancoltersr4163 Sure kid, sure. It only took me a couple seconds to find your video's and only a couple minutes to see enough stumbles to use you in a speech class. Speaking of class, you're in classic denial.
@@frankedgar6694 live long & prosper
Michigan existed in Pangea?
When I was in college in Austin, one of my favorite bands to see live was It's All Balcones Fault. And yeah I saw them at Armadillo World Headquarters. The last time I went to Barton Springs, there was a decent presentation on the Edwards Aquifer btw. And if you go to Austin and DON'T go to Barton Springs... live in shame forever ;-)
Please cover the Rockwall "rockwall" BS please.
Thank you all for your efforts!
Awesome pics and history Bennett. I was with you guys on the 28 hour insertion in 2007. I broke the stalactite in the graffiti room not Lawrence.. don’t know if it was note worthy but I always felt bad about it. Hadn’t seen the pics from past sump 3 until now! Didn’t know Matt had been back there. 28 hours! I’m still amazed and James a creatures strength. After that haul in they friggin gear up and disappear for what was it? 8 hours😂 ahh then Dave crawled up to the high flow restriction to add to the anxiety.. wild times.
Good presentation. I have been doing amateur geology with my youngest son he loves it and I was having a hard time getting the info on the tidal ebb and flow maps onto a timeline of sorts. Thanks for taking the time I will make sure someone learns from it =). We live in a unique cluster of multiple USGS types and it seems that the shoreline was at one of those times depositing right where our house sits. Hopefully we can prove it and add to the areas history
Colorado Boulder Geology student (from Austin, Texas) with a good amount of sedimentology/stratigraphy under my belt here. This was an awesome overview of Texas, you described everything I was scratching my head over & explained it in terms non-geology individuals can understand!
Interesting. Ty.

You should do one on volcanoes in Texas. Everyone loves super volcanoes. Talk about that. Wasn’t there one here a long time ago?
