How did the famous Badlands of South Dakota form? In this video I take you on a geology field trip through its most important formations and tell you how it formed. Why are some of these rocks red, and others grey? The Western Interior Seaway is the cause! Welcome to the American West: the gateway to amazing earth history.

As a paleontologist who started watching your videos for the classics and linguistics, it’s been such a treat to see more geology videos!!
Dare I say that you may turn out to be one of the best geologists on this platform? Excellent video. 👌
Haha you ought not to make that dare; there are far better than I, but I like to share these things since they fascinate me so.
That's more plausible than the video I watched claiming it was an ancient, petrified, giant tree stump.
Hahaha, that's actually very funny
That's a very Young Earth Creationist idea.
Even more plausiber is the lore which says it were cause by a large bear chasing a girl.
@@iberius9937Petrified tree stumps (even forests) do exist though. They can appear like that when the enclosing sediment has worn away due to different mineral composition.
@@ansibarius4633 My father has a petrified tree stump on his book shelf. He got it when working in Saudi Arabia in 1979. It was found in the desert.
Mix it up: extinct alien landing volcano. If they liked landing in volcanoes, the reason they went extinct is obvious
😂
😂😂😂😂
Now maybe I understand your channel name, πολύ/Poly (lot's of), Mathy (maybe short for μαθήματα) - many lessons?? Geology, Linguistics, it's a fascinating range of subjects you cover here!
Yes sir! My specialties include geology, space, and languages, ancient and modern, thus I try to include some of all of these.
@@polyMATHY_LukeNo paleontology? I was always fascinated by the pretty Graeco-Latinate names of extinct animal species as a child. 😅
Luke is a geology space cowboy linguist 🤠🚀⛰🌌🪔📚📜🏛🏟
@@francisdec1615 I guess being interested in the universe makes you somewhat of a "homo universalis". Not exactly as in the original sense, but what else can one do these days?
Wow, I live for 24 years on this world and I've seen hundreds of photos of tourist scams like the Eiffel Tower or the Grand Kanion and I have never seen this absoultely phenomenal formation. If someone told me something like this exists I would not believe. If someone showed me a photo I would think it was photoshopped. How did this beauty hide from me for so many years? I'm even addicted to Wikipedia
I’m glad this video was your introduction to Devils Tower!
Truly incredible something like that exists 😮
I used to be open to the idea of these basalt column structures being petrified tree stumps etc. But in the last few years I have seen photographic evidence from many different sites showing something you would probably never guess or believe but to me it is well proven that basalt columns are at least in several cases "melted" brick and mortar structures. Besides basalt columns you will find an endless number of examples all over the earth of part brick part stone buildings which upon close examination are not built that way but in fact the brick was altered by some event that turned the bricks mortar and cement into stones of various composition. None of the old castles for example were built with stone and many still show brick in various stages of "melt".
I'm always fascinated that there is only this one standing so tall, with all surrounding soil washed away. Why are there no others like that? Yes, there are more or less smaller ones, or even almost flat like gods stairway, but only this single massive tower.
Isn’t that interesting? There are in fact others, but chance of geology allowed this one to stay. Smaller ones would have eroded by now. Though there are some like Devils Tower
There is one in NW New Mexico.
It's so easy to see why so many natural landmarks here in the US became such sacred symbols for native tribes. They are absolutely stunning. I can't imagine seeing these beautiful places in a pre-colonial age when native tribes still roamed the plains as hunter-gatherers.
As Luke continues farther west, I can sense the possibility of a viking cowboy encounter in future videos of this series 😏 I speak of Jackson Crawford of course!
That would be grand!
I am surprised how many interesting topics you manage. From the lavatories, Roma and now Geology, great!. I liked that advertisement, I would like to give a try to that software.
Lol the combination of geology and linguistics makes me think you’re like me if I applied myself. Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed!
Those phonolithic pillars are impressive for sure...
I agree!
No picture or video does that butte justice. In person it's really a special place.
I've seen it in person as well. It's definitely a beautiful butte.
Stepping away (mostly) from linguistics to remind us that there was a reason you named this channel Polymathy. =^[.]^=
You are pure soul and we love you. ❤
You should get in touch with Myron Cook, his channel is awesome and he does a ton of geology explainers out in Wyoming and the western states
Amazing thank you !
Thanks for watching and sharing!
We hope you have a chance to see (or already have viewed) Grand Mesa in western Colorado where the lava covered a valley and then resisted erosion to rise far above the current landscape.
That was a "butte" of an explanation 🙏
I sure, for a moment, thought you meant beaut as in "she's a beaut"... and she is.... then when I saw it written I instantly remembered buttes appearing in countless western movies. Strange way to avoid pronuncing it as "but" or "byootee" which would seem more logical... from a non-native English speaker's perspective.
Indeed! Well I’m glad, since that was the play on words I intended haha
Interessantíssimo. Fascinante.
Gracias
I love rocks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗻🎉
Me too!
Really *mente et malleo* :-) I was trying to translate in greek, but ancient greek is long gone for me: maybe *με πνεύμα και σφυρί* (but I'm not too happy with πνεύμα though)
It looks like a petrified giant tree trunk.
Magnificent! The perfect landscape for The Lord of the Rings!
Don't forget that comedy with that British duo, i forgot their names, from the movie Shaun of the dead (ginger one plays in Star Wars too, Unka guy that buys stuff from Ray Skywalker). With the Alien who came to Earth long time ago and claims he wrote all the sci-fi movies including the "3rd kind"
250 km as the Apsaroke flies.
In Greek I say ο/η Αψάρωξ, οι/αι Αψάρωκες.
7:23 I'm going to guess that the Greek word λιθος (lithos) is where the word "lithic" comes from? As in "Paleolithic," "Neolithic," etc.? Am I correct?
That’s right!
Used to be a giant tree.
The only good reason to be in wyoming, to see the nature
That’s a pretty darn good reason, if you ask me. But you can see what I love. 🏔️
Why is every continent so fascinating and then there's Europe? 😂😂😂
👽👀
It's a very big ancient tree
Haha
UFO LZ
Giant petrified tree trunk from the great flood! God had His angels chop down all the trees and leave the trunks. There were giants in those days. Nephilim. BookOfEnoch.
Yes, and The Word says that the wisdom of man is foolishness to The Creator. This poor "educated" man.
