Forester: What beautiful Stone ! This banded rock will make a beautiful fireplace. Geologist: Interesting Rhyolite, but this damn banding gets in the way of determining mineralization ! 😂
I had never even heard of Rhyolite. I had to look it up
"Rhyolitic tuff has been extensively used for construction. Obsidian, which is rhyolitic volcanic glass, has been used for tools from prehistoric times to the present day because it can be shaped to an extremely sharp edge. Rhyolitic pumice finds use as an abrasive, in concrete, and as a soil amendment."
Thank you Nick for taking us townies on your walk. I'm grateful it wasn't my butt sliding down on those sharp rocks.
A gneiss little walk in the good weather.
Just wanted to say, a friend put me onto your podcast after I told her I started my second degree majoring in applied Geology after working in finance for 10 years, and I’m slowly falling in love with everything geology and your podcast and these videos are so nice to have ❤️
Welcome to the geology family, Alex. Once I retired from being a pathologist, I got hooked on geology and Nick Zentner's livestreams. You will love your new path!! Nick did his livestreaming of the exotic terranes last winter and he had a huge following - we would all talk to each other on the chat. Those bi-weekly sessions helped all of us get through that Covid winter, an I still have my notes and refer to them at times. Geology is absolutely fascinating - with its many, many facets. So, again, welcome!!! Lorraine
I have to say that I am not a geologist, I study EE, but this guy's ability to generally describe what he theorizes without claiming "absolute truths" has turned me onto geology immensely.
I keep expecting to hear comments from the students. I bet the fireplace is beautiful! Thank you Nick! Your curiosity educates us all!
In the past this would all have been gibberish to me. Now, I hang on every word and follow along nicely all because of your efforts to share in this media. I have learned much.
“Breath through your nose?” Thanks for the lovely fireplace backstory.
We live in a trachyandesite quarry in the dead Otago voclano, New Zealand, and these rocks are their twins, right down to the banding, circular forms, the brittle fracturing, the clasts etc. Our rock was used for railway foundations and some building.
My Dad was a metalergist with a love for Geology, I became a Chemical Engineer who ended up with a career in the army with a love of Geology. My middle Daughter is a silver smith with a love of Geology. I remember taking walks (drves) when I was young and dad stopping and peering at interesting formations throughout California. I hadn't realized how much I had learned until I took a couple of years of Geology in the early 70's. Alot has changed since then! Really enjoy your channel, keep it going. I was through Mt Lassen, Oregon and Washington just 3 months ago and had inadvertently traveled around to many areas you have talked about. Good job!
Another comment: thanks to you, Our Professor Zentner, I was actually able to get through some of Mike Eddy’s papers on the Migration of the Triple Junction!!
The inside of the rocks looks like the rings of a tree. Very cool video. Keep em coming. 👍🏻👍🏻
Enjoy your talks very illuminating for people who want to learn
I bet your logger friend fireplace was amazing.
My dear Professor! Your videos capture my curiosity about our beautiful Cascades and surrounding environs! Camping at Kachess and exploring the Teanaway basalt s on the east ridges also. I've got the bug!
In the Carolinas in the Piedmont there is Rhyolite that the indigenous people used that chipped like Chert. Also a Welded Tuff that worked the same.
It is not a Forest Service Road, it is part of the Teanaway Community Forest and belongs to DNR. The rock was used by a private timber company that owned the 52,000 acres the DNR bought in 2013. The timber companies used it to make their roads. DNR has also used it since they purchased the land, it is on the new Lick Creek road. If you continue on up Middle Creek you will find more outcroppings of it that are in road cuts.
Interesting, as usual, even when much of it is far over my head. Thanks, for taking us along, Professor…
Good evening ,Nick thanks again for sharing.
Thank you Professor Zentner
Careful on those slopes Nick, leave it to experts like me. Expert rock licker and taker of dangerous paths
Thank you Nick. When I am having a difficult day I find myself circling back to your videos. It's the kind little gestures that see me through.
Nick I really enjoy your geology studies and lectures!
I am an engineer with the UnionPacific in Spokane,I’ve always been intrigued by the Missoula Flood. Your lectures have inspired a growing interest in geology. My runs north and south from Spokane take me from Eastport I’d. to Hermiston Ore. Basically traveling 90% of the flood path! I can keep myself alert on those long days studying the passing geology!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you Nick! It does look like it would make a great stone fireplace.
You ain't 25 no more.
I used to love navigating unstable talus.
So much fun, and descending these things, balancing on the mini-landslides, was good down-hill skiing practice.
I think, even at age 72, I might like to try it again sometime.
Except I ain't 25 no more.
Enjoyed it as I have been for many years! Hope that you will do a follow up on these rather mysterious rhyolites and explain their story, thanks!
I was doing some gold prospecting in the volcanic field near Yuma, AZ area and picked up a very interesting pink rock. I believe it is rhyolite.
Love you too 🤗 You silly ole Scootcher
And thanks!
Thanks it’s always fun to be in the field with you!
I found Creek worn pieces all the way down by mineral springs camp ground. Thank you for clarifying what it is and where it came from.👍🐍
I'm watching this with my cinnamon roll and coffee. When you showed us that first "cinnamon roll" rock, it made my day. I love your walks and how we can "skooch our bottoms" down the slope with you.
Noticing river cobbles at your feet there at the end of the video.
Thanks Nick!
I even Took the scientific paper and added some notes on!
Can’t describe the feeling as a kind of « magic » one that cheers up each time, there is something special !
Love you dear professor ! Glad to follow and thanks for sharing all as you do!
I would love to build a fire place with that banded beauty! Thanks for letting us tag along!!!!
Thank you Nick. I don't know much about geology but it was extremely interesting. Please keep making these
I just bought one of those hammers! Your edu-ventures always teach me how I can ask questions and investigate the nature of rock and features in my own region so I can explore its geological stories here. There's always something to take away and use to expand on, even being reminded to look for any documents, maps or charts publicly available about our own areas.
Love your Spence of humor Nick!
That’s Rhyolite? Well, Gee! I have seen that in Eastern Oregon while my dad.and brothers went fishing and mother and I walked and collected stuff. I didn’t pay attention to this at all.
Quary
I forgot to add. I am none the wiser but, I am getting to appreciate you enjoy doing that to those of us, 'who are easily confused'.
Thank you for the clip
There is a videographer of the volcano in Iceland. Roman shows the same interest in the lava as Nick does but Roman is not a geologist. He’s noted the different lava expelled from the volcano. These two could have a lot to talk about if they met I think. His videos are on RUclips under the name of Gutn Tog.
I've been following the RUclips video on the Iceland valcano. GutnTog has been filming there from the beginning in March. From what I've learned watching Nick's videos I find I understand better what I'm seeing in Iceland even though the mechanics are fastly different than Washington state valcanos.
So very interesting. Thanks Nick, for a truly mysterious piece of the geology of central Washington.
Best of all it's presented as a leisurely walk in the woods!
#gooutside
I'm still enjoying all your podcasts, even if I'm not catching them live anymore. Stay safe!
Nick negotiating the talus slope = Pure gold
Plenty of basalt around
Like the pit ECP has on the lookout
Or even look at peoh point
This is a good one Nick
Short and sweet
And coincidentally
If you can get way west of that quarry
Like almost behind cle elum
There's quite and interesting formation
Not so much banded like what you've got here
Man O' Man Nick... I wish you would take a field trip to Walker Creek/Walker Valley ORV area. If you haven't been already... you would be like a kid in a candy store. One of the most geologically diverse areas I've been to in Washington State.
I LOVE these walks with you just as much as all your other videos!! I feel like I'm right out there with you enjoying your company and geology. Can never thank you enough!!
Isn't a "huh? That's strange" the reason we keep doing what we do? So many questions in this world that remain unanswered and waiting to be found. Thanks for all you do from the Green River Gorge.
wow!!! I sure miss you!! forest service roads are nice... okay going to listen.., will check back in, 😊😉🙂
Thanks, Nick (B. Barto here) for taking us along. This is really interesting.
Love your videos, as always. Thanks, Nick! ❤
Your videos always leave more curious. I just love the geology around here.
Thank you , Nick! Endlessly fascinating stuff, love your work! all the best Jules.
Entertaining as usual, Nick. Thanks
Thanks, Nick. Always enjoy your treks in the field. It’s still so blasted hot down here in SoCal. It’s kept me from spending time in the field exploring our complex geology. Nice to hear that your weather was enjoyable:-)
Thanks for the walk Nick, Take care
Thanks Nick, for taking us on your investigation!!!
You fall down cliffs very gracefully professor!
Thank you for your videos Nick. We appreciate them and you.
Hi Nick. Love your stuff. Never a dull moment.
Cool! Another bit of info to add to our 351 data.....thanks for another informative hike and some more questions to ponder..... 🙂
A real joy before bed here in SoCal- thanks Nick!
Nick, I CANNOT get enough of this stuff! I am so hooked on Teanaway!
Thank you Nick. I always enjoy your videos.
I can't wait to go see it! Thank you for sharing!💗
Thank you , everything about the paper’s just mesmerizing. The student’s work is a miracle just the SCALE of geological time and the sheer SIZE of these places are confounding lol! anything can happen eek! Super)
As always excellent! Thanks Nick 🙏💜
Excellent. Close up of rocks really effective - informative. You're helping me to learn to read hand specimens better.
Also love the tinkling sounds from the wind!
Thanks, Nick.
Yet another site I've been to many years ago. I wish I knew then what Nick is teaching me now.
A mystery. Love your video Nick . It is so fun to be in that gizmo on an outing with you!
Crazy location for the intrusion.
Thank you.
Thanks for posting Nick, love you too.
I am sooooo happy you are making a channel!! Been watching your geology chats for years. Amateur explorer of nature geology in the PNW. Spent a lot of time in the endless bush of the Caribou for years. Glaciation is amazing. Crazy depositions. Anyways I'm so happy and wish you the best! Will keep watching thank you!
Thanks for your effort, it was fun and interesting.
Thanks Nick! You've inspired my interest for 20 years!
Thanks so much for letting us follow you on this walk, Nick. I've ripped the seat out of more than one pair of pants on slopes like that - hope you had some spares in the car :D Looking forward to updates on this formation.
Thank you for taking us along on another interesting field trip trip. Be careful on that talus slope. I also use the rear end technique when all else fails. A few scratches and bruises are always better than a broken leg etc
Plus or minus 14,000 years?!?! That's incredible!!!
Sean Bowen I was wondering what that decimal number meant in years but too lazy to do the math...lol...so thanks..!!
@@marbleman52
😂 Sure
Thanks for posting.
So glad to see you.
Fun time with you, and curious. I'll check my printout of Mike's paper. 💗
Thanks so much for your Washington State Geology and History research. ❤ Thanks for sharing with the world. 🌎
Liked 👍. Shared on MeWe 👍.
im fascinated by the cool quarry near cool california if you ever get a chance to make a video of the history and would be an honor to meet you.thank you
Good to see your happy smiling face 😃
Thank You, Professor Nick :)
This summer we collected this Rhyolite material in the middle of the Idaho Batholith. Beautiful rock but certainly out of place for its surroundings!
Mysteries is bread and butter for curious mind.
Refreshing to have truth seeking acivity in nature.
Way to go!
47 ma with 24ma side by side!
Thanks Nick. Just got back from Colville. Check it out some time.
Interesting video. A puzzle for sure.
Love these!
Time Lining will help us understand & ask more questions.
Interesting! Thank you!
Thanks
Looks like liesegand banding in a porous rhyolitic air-fall tuff. Aka "wonderstone"
Love what you do. Wonder if that beautifully banded material would take a polish, it’s a fine gemstone if it’s hard enough.
I think I saw some rhyolite on my hike today in Revelstoke National Park (British Columbia)!
Enjoyable .... The banding looks like Liesegang rings.
That pink rock sure looks familiar here in the caldera that houses our giant gold mine near Round Mountain, NV. It is all over the ground here in the town site they created with muck from the mine.
