Todays Virtual Geo Tour comes from sunny Arizona, where the rocks are a fascinating mix of recent Volcanics lined with copper, billion year old metamorphics only revealed by cutting streams and uplift, limestones from ancient seas that are folded, faulted and intruded to form metals like lead and zinc and copper and gold deposits, and layers of colorful sedimentary rocks. The rocks pile high to make mountains we call the Sky Islands that are only divided by a border between two nations but otherwise run continuously into Mexico, past the many once abundant Cienegas and desert wetland environments. The Sonoran Desert is a treasure chest of biological and geological wonder. Today, I’m simply overviewing some of the main rock units you can discover in south central Arizona (around Tucson and to the border). Northern Arizona has some other interesting stuff going on but we will save that for a future tour. Enjoy!

My dad was a geoligist for Philip Petroleum, a true rockhead through and through, and I'm a chip off the old block. Visited my aunt in Oracle and was hungry to learn about the geology. Way to go!
Before my mom passed, I would tease her by saying I was going out west to search for rocks. She would be surprised I'm thinking of doing just that. Thanks for being such an amazing teacher.
GO FOR IT MAN life is short stay safe
Such a great overview! Thank you!
if I found this channel years ago when I was in my geology classes, I could probably have been able to visualize and understand quicker if I went home from class and immersed myself in these videos. Great job, you remind me of my aunt, she is in the forest service and if I hike with her she knows everything.
Wonderful to hear! That’s exactly my hope for this channel - to bring the field and real-world examples to anyone who can’t physically be there at the time. I, too, longed for the visualizations while taking intro courses, which is part of the inspiration for the project. Thanks for being here :)
@@LetsGoGeo you have done a good job! Most of the vocabulary you use in the videos are learned in the first true geology class most people take in college. Including mineral and rock names/types. Your videos are a very great tool for the visual learners (myself). I’d recommend you keep doing these videos for our future geologists. Once again, great job!
I found very nice aquamarine crystays near tucson in a hard white quartz.
You're the Will Prowse of geology !!! its a compliment !!! good video !!!
Thank you!
Awesome information. living up in the mountains for 30 years. If you ever need access to the interior of the Tortilitas, my wife and I would love to show you around.
very cool and informative video!
Interesting and informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice job, thank you, Stay safe ALL
Keep up the good work Geo! New subber here Cheers
Thanks & Welcome aboard!
Very awesome Video🤘 super informative 👍
Thanks 👍
Great video! Love for Arizona!
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll have a lot more coming from Arizona!
@@LetsGoGeo your information is dialed! I appreciate you for the time you give to create your videos and the knowledge you share!
Life is like a box of rocks you never know what you will get!
exactly what i was looking for! hoping i can find something like this for where i'm at in nevada :)
I plan to do a similar overview for Nevada, California, and some other western states when I get the chance. Hopefully soon!
Looking forward to all of these overviews.
Tucson isnt really central Arizona, its pretty close to Mexico
You are amazing ! We live in Bisbee Arizona .
Looking turquoise for fun and 🦕 but I don’t know where .
Thanks! Glad to have you here. In general, copper and zinc mining vicinities have the blues, sometimes turquoise to be found. Know that absolute ID on turquoise is actually difficult in the field with a little sample. But plenty of great varieties in AZ around old copper mines, as well as other fun minerals. I will do a quick overview of AZ mineral hunting soon !
Thank you so much !!! And if you come to Bisbee , AZ . Come to Old Bisbee Brewery and ask for the owner and wife : Victor and Adriana . You are so welcome !
Question since you are doing this mineral video is that what you are doing. Do you also hunt gold .reason I ask is it seems to me that in order to know we're gold is you must have this knowledge as well..
Very interesting and very cool you sound just like a geologist but I know that you are not in central Southern Arizona this time of year 😁😆😋👍😉🐝
I’ve been so busy with projects! The content is from the spring but just getting it all edited and posted now! :)
@@LetsGoGeo that's okay I hear that editing is very hard and time-consuming 😉😎🐝
Audio drops out for a little while @2:07. The desert in the Tucson area is so beautiful and lush.
Thanks - not sure what happened there but luckily it wasn’t a lot of lost content!
@@LetsGoGeo Agree. I have had slight hiccups in a couple videos that I noticed after uploading to RUclips and figured it is what it is. Definitely not worth taking the time to fix.
2:18 Jumpscare 😂
I found a land near a load mine and a drifted portion. I ask Jeff Williams to meet up with me. Nothing I ask the old man that is in new.mexico nothing..can you please tell me if I am in the correct place or not I need to know what time it moved from ot stationary and the other side drifted away from the source or it both moved away at the same time.
I wonder if you could still talk if your hands were in your pockets ? great video but maybe a bit less with the hand movements
I don’t think I could do it 😂
God is an amazing artist 🙏
I’m trying to figure out spots in Tucson to rockhound
It all depends on what types of rocks and minerals you are after. This video provides a general overview. From there, you can decide which minerals coincide with which types of rocks and geologic environments.
Also I will be doing many more videos on Arizona geology and Rockhounding opportunities. Hopefully soon.
Best place that's close to you is going to be just east of safford/ Thatcher. That's where you're going to get your fire agate/chalcedony , Apache tears saffordite turquoise peridot and a bunch of stuff dragged in by The gila River from the lava fields in New Mexico topaz ECT..
It should all be returned for asthetic purposes, if not for your food.🎉
Millions of years ago .....hahhhahha yeah right
You don't even know where you are. Tucson is located far south and east.
Sometimes on camera we say things funny! 😅 Geologically speaking, however, there are similarities in the geology from central to south Arizona.
Don't tell everyone, it's supposed to be a secret 🙄
At the 3:00 mark I stopped watching because of the poor lighting on your face. I can see your lips move but from there up all the rest of your facial features disappear into a cavernous shadow created by the bill of the cap you are wearing.
And pretty much the first three minutes are just you talking.
Better luck in your next production. Maybe get some help on the camera from someone who knows what they are doing.
Sincerely,
Pete
I am not a production company, just a girl who loves geology. The information is good for someone who wants to learn, perhaps not for someone studying facial features. 😆
Thats what im looking for. Your sound dropped for a few seconds there.
Ты очень крутая! Спасибо за труды!
