    Somehow the text got lost in post production and it’s bugging me- the smaller Reese’s cup shaped fossils (3:45 and 12:45) are Brachiopods 🐚 💫

      It's always good to have a faithfull companion,...my dog when I was a kid, looked a lot like yours. Australian Shepard, and Border Collie. That dog, absolutely had to go everywhere that I went. On a dirt bike, everywhere that I went. He got strong, and he found short cuts to keep up. We might stop for a break up on top of the hill,...pretty soon the Ole dog would show up panting hard, and soaking wet. He found a spring on his short cut,...good dog. We tried to lock him in the shop once because we were afraid that we were running him to death, but he nearly ate the door off trying to get out. So from then on, he went everywhere. Love your channel, and your curiosity, keep it up.

    • @hestheMaster
      @hestheMaster 6 часов назад +1

      This would have been underwater up to 100 million years ago. The beachline would have been to the East about
      where Arizona meets California today. The beachline moved back and forth until 35 million years ago.The land
      rose up after that time all the way to San Diego permanently with sandstone erosion taking place here. There
      may not be any land based dinosaur fossils here as they went extinct 67 million years ago but it is possible to
      find many marine fossils in the rock although this area was clearly not conducive to prehistoric reptile fossil
      retention. They did find some hadrosaur fossilized remains near San Diego but consider that find very rare.

    Glad that you mention the brachiopods. Had you not, I would have. A comment about the lack of geologist discussion is based in part because pov does not give us the location. There would be mapping and papers already describing the area. No need for discussion. No need to re-invent the wheel. But of course, we are not told where this is. Speculation makes for more viewer engagement and more cash.

    I love your perspective, Nolan. I’m so glad you don’t include music and instead, capture the sounds of nature.
    The drone footage is breathtaking and priceless. It reminds me of the reoccurring dreams about effortlessly lifting off the ground and flying that I’ve had thousands of times over my lifetime.
    Your drone seems to be silent and able to capture the natural noises of the landscape, including things like your own footsteps and the panting of your dog, and other wildlife, such as birds and insects.
    I am also so grateful that you encourage people to be good stewards of the planet, and you demonstrate that with your own behavior. This cradle God made for us is breathtakingly beautiful, and He gave us this treasure to thrive and to enjoy, charging us to respect and care for the gifts.
    The purity of your style is impeccable and even if I were physically able, I cannot imagine mustering the intestinal fortitude to go to the places that you go alone. You are a modern-day Daniel Boone and Jebediah Smith.
    May the Lord bless you with many, healthy, happy, safe adventures.
