Thank you for all of the videos that you share with the world! Your knowledge of botany is enviable and I appreciate your inclusion of the rocks and soil on and in which plants survive and thrive. So many species of plants are tied physiologically to the substrate on which they grow. I'm a retired biologist with a fascination for the origin of life, and have found stromatolites in many places across the US, from central NY state to the very heights of the Rocky Mountains. And you're right, it's difficult to look at stromatolites and consider their formation and age, and not ask yourself deep philosophical questions. Keep up the great work! Thank you again!
The main reason you don't see Trucker piss bottles in Michigan is that in the 1970's they implemented a 10 cent bottle and can deposit and they more importantly required stores of a certain size to be able to process the cans and take them back. It spawned a whole culture of can and bottle collecting that gave me a lot of money as a kid, especially at rock show parking lots.
Study whatever the fuck you want man. If you're gonna spend a shit ton of money on an education and still end up jobless in the end, might as well do something you like.
I’m trying to encourage kids to skip college and travel instead. The money you’re wasting on tuition could be used for travel expenses. College is a fucking scam (unless you’re trying to find someone to marry).

E-possum The dog you’ve identified as Jack is, in fact, the Tattooed Love Dago’s udder dog, Lewey the Rat Slayer. The dead giveaway: she has her tail, whereas Jack’s is docked. Also, thank you for your tedious time-stamp chronicals. That shit has to be a pain in the ass!
Too many things this morning to have pissed me off but Santoro dropped another vid so suddenly the world is considerably more tolerable than it was an hour ago.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call Gitchegumme (sp?) The lake it is said never gives up her dead when the gales of November come early
@@juliankirby9880 i agree. I haven't fished the Clinton in 28yrs. I used to fish at the spillway dam as a kid. I'd bring home Carp and Suckers for my folks garden and to sell.
@@juliankirby9880 for sure. I don't think one ever got ate. Dudes used to buy them to bring home, so they could tell their wives they were fishin' . When they went to see their girlfriends. Once I found that out. The price went from $2 to 5.
South Manitou Island in Lake Michigan has some pretty interesting flora. The Canadian Yews grow over ten feet tall since there aren't any deer on the island. There's also a virgin growth Northern Cedar forest. It's kind of a mini galapagos with just chipmunks as the only terrestrial land mammal. It's part of Sleeping Bear Dunes National lakeshore.
I think there's a bay in Australia where those stromatolites are still living. Oops, you mentioned them right after I wrote that. I'm not deleting it, though. Damnit, I knew something that I could contribute and sound intelligent. And you can't take that away from me!!
If it makes you feel any better: Your comment helped me understand what he meant by 'extant stromatolites'. I thought stromatolite was the name of the rock formation. When he said 'extant stromatolite' I was thinking 'how is the stromatolite you're gesturing at not extant?'
Love your channel. Iben's wife here, just learned that the seeds of terrestrial orchids have no cotyledon and so are dependent on mushrooms / plants to feed them in the growing stage.Probably why they're so small. I've also heard that many adult terrestrial orchids depend on fungus/plants for food in adult life as well kind of like Beechdrops or Monotropa
That’s true of all orchid seeds. They’re only one cell big! Orchids are cheap bastards, not giving their offspring much to start out with, so they make gazillions of them.
@12:16. if you walk the breaker, there, toward the light you will see a large, square piece of light colored sandstone with trilobites and other fossils.
Love your videos! That lichen at the beginning is a species of Stereocaulon not Cladonia, although Cladonia/Cladina are real common up there as well. Lichens and mosses are pretty cool and are the dominant organisms up where I live up in the Alaska Range. I look forward to more great videos! Thanks again!
Your Gordon Lightfoot imitation was epic! Show us the Edmund Fitzgerald wreck next time. P.S. I wrote down that recipe for basalt, I'll let you know when it's done.
Pretty sure my mineralogy class visited that same outcrop of pillow basalts across from that furniture warehouse several years ago. Visited a similar-looking outcrop somewhere outside of Marquette.
10:45 Actually had an archaeology professor who was a big fan...we got stuck listening to "Gord's Gold" on many a field trip to dig in the Mojave desert and surrounding hills. Now I have the Edmund fucking Fitzgerald going in my head too.
Hi Joey! I’m at 45 N. Just beneath you. I would have loved to drive by seeing a guy talking to himself and say, “ Hey that’s Crime Pays.” Thanks for visiting the area. People like to dig out the quartz and whatnot near Marquette.
This guy, is a man after my own heart. Been watching for a couple of months now, I'll spare you the details, however, I have a very similar background going back 60 odd years. When I got out of the professions, Dentistry Veterinary Medical, oh well no knowledge experience and exposure is wasted for one on, micro biology, human anatomy and physiology, taxonomy, blah blah blah. One on to work heavy construction as Carpenter and did fancy work North Shore and all kinds of stuff. What I'd like to know, did this guy grow up on Taylor Street near West Side before it got crummy, or Melrose Park Maybe, or Maywood? Lorde I could have shown this guy some beautiful things that no longer exist. I used to get around with my sitter dogs and honest to God Pointer dogs long tail I was lucky to catch undeveloped parts of Northern Illinois Southern Wisconsin and Southern Illinois. Not to mention out west Montana Dakotas and so forth play I shouldn't forget to mention living out in the woods on the North shore of Lake Superior, up 40 Mi north of the tip of black Bay call numerous times in my youth by myself with a bird dog and that was it where is no Lodge No housing 40 me for beer, Mi for beer spam or something
@ 1:32 looks a lot like the Baraboo Quartzite in Wi ~ 3:52, I find that brown chert in the Glacially deposited deep clay layer below my black soil in IL it's loaded with chunks of sharp fractured tan/brown chert
You said the pillow basalt and earlier examples of banded sedimentary rocks in this video had been metamorphosed by heat and pressure at a later time. What sort of geologic events can do that?
Well, being buried for one. But remember that due to convection in the mantle and plate tectonics, land masses are technically on the move, albeit very slowly (this motion is what earthquake express). So a very old rock may have been buried by say, subduction, and then subsequently uplifted maybe a few times in its history. Anytime it's buried or at a convergent plate boundary it would be subject to lots of heat and pressure.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt Thank you for your answer! It isn't habitual for me to think in that scale of time or size, so although the answer seems obvious when you say it, it didn't occur to me initially. I was thinking more like an impact event that occurs in an instant. What an awe inspiring perspective to zoom out in this way and observe all these natural processes and their relationships!
The glaciers squashed most large rock formations in that region, so it's always interesting to see a rocky cliff on the side of the road. I've never seen one close-up: they're lovely when you can see the details.
I love Marquette. A little disappointed that you didn't venture into Presque Isle considering you were one minute down the road. The Black Rocks are awesome!
My radiator exploded outside of Shunk Furniture, I called a tow truck from their land line (no cell phones yet). I drove past that cut every day for 3 years, and several times a month for the other five. I never got out onto it though. Its good to know we feel the same about Lightfoot(conformation bias), if I ever hear that song again it will be too soon.
I also recognized that road cut...been going on vacation up there for 20 years. A friend has a place on the Dead River; we normally would turn up 510 a few hundred feet before the shooting site. Ore dock and the old Presque Isle power plant too.
Loved this video. The Spiranthes are always nice. It's interesting though how some have a true spiral of flowers and others are more straight up and down. I looked into the genus a while back and apparently the old world regions have some species with pink flowers. Beautiful geology, I really like the layers of bacterial mats. That seepage pond brought me back to my grad school years when I worked on using plants to clean up industrial sites like that. Unfortunately the research money into it mostly dried up due to certain elected officials not caring about pollution anymore. But I digress. ;) Definitely recognized that as pussytoes on the rock. First learned about them as pressed specimens when I worked as an herbarium assistant. I still have a soft spot for them. A. neglecta makes a decent ground cover in the midwest :)
Come to western PA, check out the beautiful gritstone in the mountains and the toxic slag piles in the foothills ..plenty of black raspberries grow on them tho lol
Interesting to see that Liparis orchid there in Michigan. I assume it gets a lot of snow through the northern winter. We have Liparis reflexa here in Eastern Australia. It's mostly a lithophyte but in wetter country can be an epiphyte. One of the first orchids I grew as a kid. Not overly interesting but it's an orchid and i grew and flowered it.

Hahahahaha Before your video, I doubt he ever heard of the song. hahaha!!!
@@landonstelwagen4032 shoot, actually, I was wondered if where the stromatolites are. I’m in the area now and I’d be excited to see real live (dead) stramatolites!
Have you considered putting up photos and identifications in iNat? They seem to be low on the number of plants there as compared to other stuff. Maybe you do. I so appreciate your work.
Love it when you talk dirty to us. You've shown me the beauty of botany, but geology will always be my first love.
Joshua, you put that perfectly! My thoughts, exactly.
You know any geo channels?
I concur...

This video cured my iron deficiency
I wanted to learn about rocks not how to talk like a sailor.
As a student in college stuck inside studying something I don't want to major in, these vagrant travel videos make my days go much better.
it's not too late to switch to botany or ecology & evolutionary biology!

Could you say where that stromatolites is exactly? I get up to the Marquette area a couple times per year and I’d love to see that!

@@landonstelwagen4032 Thank you!
@@landonstelwagen4032 shoot, actually, I was wondered if where the stromatolites are. I’m in the area now and I’d be excited to see real live (dead) stramatolites!
Thanks for the escape :)
Have you considered putting up photos and identifications in iNat? They seem to be low on the number of plants there as compared to other stuff. Maybe you do. I so appreciate your work.
I think he does. I know he enters photos and sightings of plants on various sites.
