Thank you

these explanations are very straight-forward and geology based! i love it that even people outside geology can understand this easily too

Heard several obvious indications the narration was by A.I. Why do that? Dead giveaway was "slob" instead of 'slab.' A human geologist would never make that mistake. There were other mispronunciations of geologic terms. Kinda spoiled this otherwise interesting and informative video for me, as someone who's hiked and climbed a lot in the region of Enchanted Rock and was looking forward to learning some new things. The fact that the producers did not catch and correct these errors in editing and post production makes me wonder if there are other imbedded errors that are not so obvious. It's fair to question. If you're passing yourself off as a scientist, details matter and failure to get small things right invites doubt and criticism.

oh this is crazy good. Thanks

But are they edible?

I watch Myron Cook and now due to your charming video that's packed with good information, I watch you too. What a unique way to show your graphics. I love it.

Clay animation 🥇 You still involved in geology?

I live in Spring Branch/ Bulverde area and have some of these in my yard

Very nice points on those calcite crystals. I'd be curious to see if they are UV fluorescent. Do you happen to have a filtered long wave UV light? I do fossil and mineral tours in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and the big white limestone rocks they bring in for erosion control come out of Bridgeport. They contain fossils that are 305 million years old like crinoids and trilobites. Thanks for the informative video. My only critique is the AI voice in some parts of the video, but that's just a personal opinion.

Very informative! Love geology, wish i had taken classes for it. You seem quite knowledgeable and I would love to see more of your videos, perhaps hill country next?

so good listening to you 👌

❤

Taking one or two showy crystals never hurts.

Was the last location zilker park we use to have eyores birthday party celebration there

I use to smoke pot where y’all climbed up all those steps when I was in college in the 70’s

How much pot did you guys smoke before y’all filmed this ?

FASCINATING. I have flagged it on Google Maps WANT TO VISIT someday.

Laramide orgy is how I’m going to remember that and I’m not sorry.

Nope. It was formed by giant armadillos and feral hogs. Do your research!

We were driving down to the river to go rafting years ago. When I first saw the mine from a distance, it looked like a lost city😀

I remember camping at Enchanted Rock when I was much younger. I don't know if it's even still allowed.

Very informative. A suggestion: When taping the rocks and minerals don't move the camera so fast--that makes it hard to see anything. Overall a fine video. Thanks for making it for us.

I love this so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.! Why does play-doh always work?! 😂🤣

did she say 14 hundred million years ago !!!! LOL

Gosh I love going out there. Lol but I can’t stand that my brother glides up that thing like a gazelle while I’m taking 10 minute breaks every 15 feet. That is one steep rock!

Did you go through the cave?

Nice fairy tale at the beginning

Awesome! Hope you do one about El Cap. And maybe some about different kinds of rock... For ignorant rock climbers like myself who know almost nothing about geology this is amazing.

I just came across this channel. Young lady, you definitly did your homework. Are you a geology graduate today? 😂 🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜❤️ Recent news. Are you aware the Franklin orogeny is now identified as the oldest mountain range in North America? 😊

Fascinating and informative!!

Why the color? Tiny percentages of this chemical or that, is the classic way minerals get their colors. But have you noticed that amazonite has a different crystal form than microcline? Totally a guess on my part, but it'd be interesting to find out what the experts think about the crystal shape. Only 1 cm qualifies as pegmatite? Yeesh, that's like 90% of the rocks around here. Liked your explanation of crystal growth though. I was on the eastern side of Pikes Peak last week, and found plenty of amazonite, also one (of what I think is) colorless topaz. Every bit of quartz I've seen on that side of the mountain has some smokiness to it (radiation damage), but this crystal was perfectly clear, and the luster seemed wrong for quartz too. Unfortunately it was a broken fragment and so the telltale shape of topaz was not present. I need a sensitive scale so I can check specific gravity. There's a KZbinr who calls himself Everything is Spirit, who does a lot of prospecting in the Terryall and Lost Creek areas (north of Lake George). The guy is a bit weird, but super knowledgeable. When he's on a good pocket and the sun sets, he keeps digging, "Oh, hello Mr. Moon." But he seems mostly harmless. Finally, last year I bought a vacant lot in the neighborhood of that lady who pronounces amazonite, azamonite. Good times ahead.

I know someone (living in Colorado, and living withing walking distance of an amazonite outcrop) who calls it azamonite. I could not convince this woman that she had the right letters, but in the wrong order. Realizing it's sometimes called Amazon stone might have helped, as everyone knows of the Amazon River, but no one's ever heard of the Azamon River. 😝

AWESOME info!! Thanks for the effort

This has a chill 90’s vibe 😎

The dog needs more camera time.

My dad used to take K-state students on field trips to the Arbuckle’s. He was a petroleum geologist.

Back in '78 I was camping out on top for the night and when i woke up at about 2 am there was a full grown female cougar sitting next to me, she saw me awaken and leaned over and smelled me up and down and then sat back down and enjoyed the warmth of my camp fire. She was gorgeous and and hung out with me for about 10 minutes and then went on her way. I like to think of that as a spirit guide visiting me that night.

I'm from Colorado springs and a few miles from the best specimens in the world. I have a 20 acre claim that I mine at and we also pull world class topaz

My great, great uncle, Acosta is the oldest documented miner to discover the cinnabar and other minerals in the big bend area during the mid 1800s.

Mount bonell is one of my favorite places in all of austin to hike. ⚒️💎😁

Great Video! I am going to show this to my structural engineering firm. On Friday for a little happy hour and then we are going to watch this video. Great job!! If y’all are still in town…should come by and visit us at Copeland Engineering, UT ‘95!! Hook ‘Em!

utep kidd station

this couldn't have been a more perfect video for me to find. i'm always happy to see another woman explaining geology-- maybe im misandrist but i think we do it better

Love the claymation. And the information, too. And the night sky at the end. Thank you.

Nicely done. Thank you.

I went up the Jungfrau yesterday, absolutely incredible!

Good videos. Where is this crew located? Are you grad students?

thank you for the animations. Enchanted Rock was where us Llano kids just starting to drive, would load up kin and friends and head down there to hike and climb the rock, and go through the cave at the back. I love this place.

Awesome video. Maybe check out the St. Francois Mountains next? Their ancient calderas formed 1.485 billion years ago in southwest Missouri. Love the geology!

Sorry, but your information is based on the theory of evolution, which you erroneously speak of it as "fact" when most of it is estimated.. Since you don't know, you added millions of years, to try and make it believable. Many scientists disagree, so, please, stop misrepresenting evolution as fact.
