I took your title very literally as I believe everything is alive. It's all part of our life chain and the most significant definable difference is our human perspective in time!

Wow! 1. Do the types of gas that were preserved effect the color/omposition of the rocks that formed around them? 2. Why are the pillows dome-shaped? Why did they tae their form in space like that? 3. You can tell it's mined because of the jaggedness, which wouldn't have occurred otherwise? 4. How did the stuff trapped in the lava NOT completely melt/merge with the lava material?

what the heck is felsic and is the ocean floor currently made of that mephic stuff???
@sleekymeeky5918 20 күн бұрын
wait...WHEN did the lavas happen? Are there different layers of other eras of lavas, or was there only one lava moment, if a moment were 100 years?
@cousinwillis 20 күн бұрын
1) I think the gas is subordinate to the other material but not too sure 2) just the way the pillows stack up as the flow continues and the outer layer of molten material is quenched by the water. the new fingers of lava follow the troughs between prior pillows; as the new pillow fills up the top domes out 3) exactly--and I know there is a quarry nearby and this is sought-after material for fill since it does not erode. You find these freshly broken pillow materials in a lot of roadside fill around here--looks like they used it for the dam as well. 4) chemical properties of the various materials at different heat levels! the gas has to go somewhere. as basalt like this comes up, it often passes through coal beds and so has a lot of CO2. Also sulphur gasses--hence it causes mass extinctions (deccan traps etc )

Is that some kind of weird looking track at the bottom middle of the screen at 4:14 that you missed (or at least didn't point out)? Its weird looking, whatever caused the deformation.
@cousinwillis 2 ай бұрын
It very well could be--I think it probably is--but there are a lot of odd deformations out there in the rocks that, at least for me, I can't quite say for sure.

Very, very cool! You do find some great geological features in your area. I don't know your background at all, but you seem knowledgeable about things I find fascinating so I just suscribed to your channel. I live in CT, but visit your area occasionally. I'll have to save some time on my next visit to do some scouting of my own. Thanks for posting these!

Hey, thanks for the note! Yes, the rocks are very similar down in CT--part of the same basin--but Turners is a great place to see them as well. I'm just in it for the fun / words / learning things!

Wow! I haven't seen an eastern hognose snake since I was a kid back in the 60's/70's and kept wild-caught ones as seasonal pets, lol. That little beauty looks bright and newly shed. Nice catch! PS.. Your reactions to it are hilarious!

That clastic dike is fascinating and reminds me of a very fine sand geyser, normally associated with an earthquake. Is it possible evidence of an ancient tremblor?
@cousinwillis 2 ай бұрын
I think so! A tremblor is tremor or small adjustment? As far as I know , any clastic dike is very clear and strong evidence of earthquakes--adjustments, fissures, etc. splitting semi-lithified layers and sending up a spout of fluidized sediments. But I want to look up /see these 'fine sand geysers' you speak of! have you ever seen one?

As someone who is fascinated by dinosaurs AND fish (especially the conservation and protection of our most vulnerable species) this was an awesome video! I was just up the falls this past weekend on a mini road trip but didnt have time to stop and do much exploring. Now I wish I had!

@cousinwillis 5 ай бұрын
The video keeps the location of the dinosaur tracks provisionally concealed. If you send me an email, I can point you to easily accessed public locations where, with a little study, observation, and perseverance, you can easily find small loose rocks with dinosaur prints in them. These, in my opinion, should not be left to the mercy of the river's incredible and (with respect to pieces of rock) destructive force, but rather at least moved up to the bank out of reach of the water, in a place you can remember. Simply because they are beautiful and wonderful, and shouldn't be left to be destroyed (by the same force that is, beautifully enough, inexorably revealing them at the same time). I discuss these and related matters in vid # 2.
