I really like the way you talk about geology! It is enthusiastic and clear information. I myself live in Finland, where the entire landscape is shaped by ice ages, everything is so different from Wyoming. Here we can see only very old and very young processes, you also have a lot to look at in between!
Yes I agree. There are a couple channels that do a good job but they do so in the context of gold prospecting. Although that is also incredibly interesting it’s fascinating to learn about geology in a broader form
I'm really loving the series. You are an incredibly gifted teacher and communicator, and it just happens geology is one of my favorite fields of interest so it's a perfect fit. Thanks for sharing these amazing lessons centering on the Bad Lands. I went there in my 20's and its impactful memories stand out to me. I'm just loving learning the history of its formation.
What is also fascinating to me that all those layers of shale and sandstone had been created as a result of erosion all those million years ago. How many circles of building up and eroding away might had been there? It boggles the mind! Thanks Myron
I have worked in the McCollough Peaks for four summer campaigns during my PhD (2016-2021, TU Delft) and we have high-resolution drone models that can be navigated in the software. my last visit was just last summer (not sure whether you know there is a big gathering every year on July 4th in Powell, where lots of geologists and paleontologists participate). I really enjoy watching your videos, which are well filmed and illustrated. Everybody, including geologists and laymen, should watch this, in my mind. Highly recommended! Hope to see you one day in the basin!
I haven't spent a whole lot of time in the McCollough Peaks area as compared to the Elk Creek region. I will be releasing a few videos focusing on fluvial systems soon which showcases the amazing outcrops in the area. I would be happy to meet you next time you are in the area and show you a bit of my area of the basin. Thank you for the feedback on my videos.
@@myroncook I look forward to both meeting you in the field and watching your upcoming videos. You can also find my PhD defense video on my channel if you are interested. Thank you for your work and inspiration!
Your videos are so fascinating and beautifully produced. If I was rich I would totally go back to school and major in geology just for the fun of it. I love learning how things work and what made them look the way they do. Geology is like a very long term history of nature. I also love rockhounding so learning about the conditions that creat certain rocks is very helpful. You have a great way of teaching to us lay people without dumbing it down too much. Keep up the great work!
I grew up in Cody, been to he top of Hart Mt., worked seismograph thru the McCullough Peaks, up around Sheep Mt. but my favorite was Pat O’Hara, Sunlight and the base of Pilot. We used to own the Blue Haven Motel and had a number of geologists stay there. I’m 79, so lots of years back. Love your work and your videos.

I was a jug hustler for 2 years. I worked for Western Geophysical out of Rocksprings Wyoming. We performEd seismograph surveys on White mountain above Rocksprings and all over the Red Dessert. Try breaking a front axle coming off of White Mountain in the dark. We spun around and around and damn near went over a rock ledge.I remember going to the overthrust formations in Utah for a month long survey that covered just over 50 miles of pure hell for a survey team, we had to coil and carry the sensor cable up and down hills instead of laying out from the back of the truck. Our trucks were so heavy that we had to unload most of the equipment to get past the scales at the border. We would unload part of the equipment, cross the scales and unload the remaining equipment in Utah. Then we would go back for the rest of the cables and jugs. I was in better shape working seismograph than I was after military basic training. It was damn hard work, but it was done with a terrific crew.
I just realized something as you explained Mesa formation. Whether they are topped with former river rock deposits or lava, they were once the lowest steepest parts since they followed the gradient of the topography around them. Then erosion takes place, and it sort of inverts, now they impose gradients of descent around them and are the highest parts locally. They're almost like fossils of previous gradients.
Top notch! I’m a software developer who’s done backend and front end work over my career and I can’t help but want to make an erosion game with layers you can select as well as some well known geological columns. It would obviously be difficult to simulate in order to produce the great visuals you’ve been sharing but I’m half tempted to try.
I love the drive west from Denver across Colorado and into Utah all the way to I15. The geologic scenery is incredible from start to finish. Especially the Utah leg. I could spend months out there and never get tired of the beauty of that nature. If anyone reading this comment hasn’t seen this in their life I highly recommend putting this on your bucket list.
Thank you for the excellent video on erosion. I love Geology and I'm interested in Life and Acient Evnironments. It's really neat when someone like you who knows the language of the rocks can interpret the story they tell for us viewers. Your hard work in putting this together is much appreciated. Thank you!
Discovered your videos today and I've watched several of them. I'm really impressed with the photography and the way that you use the drone to show not only the examples you're talking about but just the transition shots while you're driving in the Jeep with the drone overhead or something. The composition in your videos and the use of lighting and other technical things are just as good as your knowledge of the geology. It's very beautiful and you really showcase the land you live in and make me want to go there to learn more about the geology of it.
Thank you for what you do! I have always been intrigued by geology and geography. I truly appreciate your educational videos. Please know you're videos are very appreciated!
An excellent easy to follow introduction to geology with boots on the ground. I am realizing how important it is to understand geological time. Thanks!
Myron, you are, without doubt, my favourite American, it's therapeutic and informative listening to you. So glad I found your channel. I love this world we are so lucky to inhabit, i'm like you, I notice everything and wonder, every little critter, tiny flowers, mountains to mole hills. I'm going to live my parrallel life as a Geoligist, who loves her job, through your eyes. Always wanted to visit the States, so many fantastic lanscapes. Australia is the same, fascinating history, and lots of erosion features (Bungle Bungles in the NW of Australia and Karijini National Park). Thankyou for sharing, your very lucky living where you do, it's so good for the soul to be able to see nothing but mountains, not concrete and steel. Love the name of the Badlands, which are anything but, I live in the badlands, called a city lol
Such beautiful landscapes. I so enjoy your videos, Myron. Thank you so much for creating and sharing your experience, thoughts, knowledge, and talents 😊❤
I wish I could hit rewind on my age and sign up for a Geology course and have you as my instructor. You make it so easy to understand. Again, another great video...thank you for taking the time to educate us on this incredible planet we live on. Fred in Texas
I'm hooked. I use to go rock hunting when I was a kid. We'd drive out the one of the deserts in Southern California and spend the whole day day looking for different types of rocks. My dad would take a few home cut them and polish them. He'd make necklaces for my sister and her friends. I'm glad I found you channel. I'm now 65 and in a few more months I will be able to spend as much time in the wild as I want. Enjoying the natural beauty that we all need to slow down and enjoy!
Your lovely voice is right up there with Sir David Attenborough's, Myron! And your geology videos are wonderful to watch and to learn from. Thank you for making them for us!
As a lifelong rock-hound, I've been enjoying these videos immensely for a couple months now(recently found and subscribed) and have often wondered the time scale of erosion? Dr. Cook generously provided the answer (for the Bighorn Basin) in this video: ".7 inches per 100 yrs". Wow! I don't know what I expected, but that blows my mind. This guy is such a gift! I'm glad he had the inspiration to start this channel and makes the effort to create so much excellent content. Thank you Dr. Cook.
Warm greetings from Cornwall, fantastic videos! An engineer by trade and an armchair lover of the natural sciences, you are up there with Carlson Sir. Deep time, fractals, sedimentary form, brilliant! Thankyou.
Myron, you are clearly incredibly intelligent to make videos that simplify these great complex topics for the rest of us. Thank you for sharing your great knowledge with us. I thoroughly enjoy the channel.
Great video! I often thought while sitting in my own college geology classes that if geology was required of all students in high school, it would settle a lot of the disagreements people have over various belief systems.
Hi Myron, This is a really wonderful video, one of your best; thank you!! Your excitement of geology is contagious, really wonderful, thank you so very much! We learned a lot!!
Very delighted your teachings on Earth Science. Many thanks of your efforts and field trips that illustrate how to understand geological puzzle. Please keep the good works and share with me your reaching videos !!!

When hiking, it's always fascinated me that I can run into a creek that is cutting across a hillside. Thanks for explaining some of this, it's always baffled me.
Also, I was climbing in Kentucky recently, and the rock in the Red River Gorge area is all (at least the climbing areas) sandstone. Much like you describe in your sandstone section, there are areas with harder and softer sandstone. From what some of the people I was climbing with explained, there's iron rich sandstones that resist erosion more than the other sandstone around it, creating these plate features. The plate on the surface of the cliff doesn’t erode as fast as the less resistant sandstone behind so it creates climbing holds that you can just put your entire hand on. There's also random pockets in the rock and lots of roofs because the sandstone that's less resistant washes away and leaves a big roof that you can climb under. one thing that surprised me was how strong the rock was, i could literally yank as hard as I could on a little quarter inch thick plate to jug up and it was just fine. the products of erosion there are fasinating.
Those are some of the coolest formations! Helped us understand erosion a lot better! We sure hope more people find your channel to learn about this amazing Wyoming geology!!
I love Geology. I did have a class and a few field trips in college. I love archaeology and paleontology as well as astronomy. It is all so fascinating. Geology makes you stop and see the deep time of it all. Erosion is just as fascinating. Water is very powerful.
I love the repetitiveness of the word “Erosion” is used. My brain is super excited to feel the washing presents. Most interesting thing found by most open minded researchers is Biology is Geology.
Dear Myron, thanks for unlocking some of the secrets of geology to those of us in your audience whose only experience with rocks is playing with some in the garden. Thanks so much. Love from Australia - one of the oldest Continents on Earth.
The colours at dawn and dusk on the little mushrooms would be phenomenal for photography, NW Australia is red dirt country and it enhances with sunrise and sunsets, beautiful,
I really enjoy flying over the west ang looking at thd geology in that macro view. Videos like this let me see the details of places i hope to see more of. Geology, evolution, and astronomy are all about time, unfathomable amounts and evolving conditions. Thanks for the vid
Sir, you're a Bob Ross of geology! That's how soothing your videos are. I'm gonna watch each and every one of them...
