Eocene X - Kamloops & Shuswap w/ Jerome Lesemann

[@40shellyfish]

Thanks for a great show Nick, Jerome and Jeff!!!! Jeromne you ARE Canadian! As a born and bred Albertan I truly appreciate the Canadian geology, so fascinanting. My dad is a geologist so I grew up with a love and rocks, still can't go anywhere without looking down for cool samples!!!

[@snarky_user]

Nick, I was watching a live stream of a long-established KZbin channel dedicated to a particular National Football League team. At one point in the show the main presenter expressed his surprise that that there were 125 people watching. It struck me how amazing it is that your early-Saturday morning geology livestream pulls almost ten times the viewership of a football program streamed during prime time. That disparity is astounding and speaks volumes to the wonderful work you have done pursuing this adventure. Well done, sir. Here's to you. We love you, too.

[@cyndikarp3368]

ABSOLUTELY

[@gd2234_]

We absolutely LOVE Nick. He’s that one teacher we all had and loved because they made the subject fun

[@MrFmiller]

All a bunch of Nickaholics.

[@mettenna2635]

Wow! My college classes would have been so much more interesting if they would have had guests and walk-ins like this. Only you, Nick.

[@vinmansbakery]

This show is must watch for many things, especially the Google Map overlay. Thanks, Jerome!

[@SCW1060]

Hi Jeff

[@bryancurry1898]

I love your classes, your A to Z series, especially your geology hikes and field trips, but what I find most special are your public lectures. You are at your best in front of a hall full of townspeople. The viewer can’t see the crowd but we can tell that you have them on the edge of their seats. Once we can get back to meeting in groups like that, I hope you can continue the lectures. Thank you for your good work!

[@runninonempty820]

Wow! What a show! Jerome really impressed me, and thank you to him and Jeff for all their shared wisdom. And thank you Nick for setting it up and doing all that you do, you are just terrific.

[@dreamarcher4018]

This is interesting as I live near Kamloops. I was wondering if you could at some time discuss the geology of the Coquihalla highway between Hope and Merritt at Zopkios. I just love all that rock and wondered how it was formed and anything you know about the area!

[@rockatman]

I picked some beautiful gneiss at a rest stop while going through there

[@mrtony1985]

Thank you Nick, Jerome & Jeff! Was so much fun to watch this conversation. Thank you all for generously giving your time. I feel so spoiled of all the knowledge you all share for the pure joy of it.

[@sheetmetalhead]

What an epic show not only are the dots connecting, Nick is adding guests on the fly! Great job big guy!

[@sharonseal9150]

What an amazing experience this has been, to get to know so many other outstanding geologists and their work, and to be exposed to cutting edge research and papers. I am so glad you took this leap into the unknown a couple of years ago Nick! The show today was so exciting - learning never stops and nothing is "set in stone". Well done.

[@carolwiegand3113]

Well said. Totally agree.

[@mickmccard]

Dr Jerome gets my vote for the best presentation on your Crazy Eocene show!

[@charleymitchell5461]

What started as a local community outreach with a chalkboard, has turned into a worldwide community of rock lovers. Thanks, Nic and guests.

[@eagle-wz5oh]

It's great to see Nick and the guests have so much fun. Thanks again Nick.

[@SueFerreira75]

Great session - thank you, Jerome Lesemann, Jeff Tepper and Nick Zentner. My appreciation of the land around me has grown so much during these livestreams - very grateful!

[@miqsh70]

This is what I was dreaming about, to be able to overlap geo maps and google earth! Jerome is a genius!

[@helenel4126]

What an amazing episode! THIS is the future of higher education.

[@seanthorntonmd3908]

Nick, every time I watch one of these videos I think, "This one's the best! These can't get better or improve my understanding". But each installment proves me wrong. Today's discussion was the best yet! I can't wait for The Dream Team next Saturday. Thank you and your guests so much. Curiosity is an unquenchable human trait.

[@davidsalsman7190]

Your are the most entertaining you tube program that I watch. Keep up the good work! It would be a great loss if you weren’t on youtube

[@mhansl]

Nick, it was inevitable that, beyond teaching us townies, you are bringing in the pros and giving them an outlet to share with each other. This is educational magic. PS: I picked up Roadside Wisconsin... Volcanoes by Wausau!!!

Best thing on KZbin, it gets better with every episode. I have bitter sweet feelings about the upcoming Z episode, I’ll hate to see it end, really appreciate all you do professor Nick and all your guests!

[@bizybeequilter]

This was a fantastic show. It is wonderful to see your guests. These knowledgable people giving there time to teach us and to see that they too can still learn and also enjoy your programmes Nick. Great work and keep it up

[@howardroberts2076]

Excellent audio and video Saturday feb 26 2022

[@celestemclaughlin1356]

Thank you Jerome and Nick! Was fascinating to see the continuity across the border and the implications of that. More food for thought!

[@jlcop]

Really cool episode. You have come a long way since Larry the Ladder and the Cozy Fort.

[@MGeofire]

Lesemann can juggle fault blocks better than W C Fields. Thank you both for another in depth session. Love, love, love it!

[@stephanielesis7010]

lol thanks Nick im just glad your on here you are as real as the Earth we live on as a student who really loves to learn but never ever could find a teacher or professor with the same passion for what they thought they knew enough about to miserably try to teach and above all extort money for. shame . imagine yourself filling the void for all of those ppl. Congrats Nick you have done that for me and im just a simple Rockhound .

[@DanSpotYT]

Great learning experience. Thank you all. Cheers and be well, everyone!

[@graysonchip]

The geologic map overlays on top of Google Earth were brilliantly illustrative. You are a badass, Jerome!

[@thomasrodman1796]

That was an amazing session! Thank you as always Nick for doing this!

[@jeromelesemann1855]

On the question about other volcanic events... got names mixed-up. Nechako Plateau should have been Chilcotin Plateau that need to be differentiated from Chiclotin Group basalts. Theres also the Anahim hot spot that is responsible for some later eruptions.

[@grandparocky]

Go Jerome! another amazing show thanks to you both so much!

[@johnplong3644]

This was a good time spent on a Saturday morning I loved the overlays with the Google Maps

[@leojeidy1143]

Great show again with a shout out to Jerome for raising the guest bar with the overlays. Getting fancy 😆.

[@MrFmiller]

Nick, you’re becoming a video presentation pro. I’m liking the format.

[@standavid1828]

IMO, these are getting better. That was fun. Thank you, excellent session.

[@JanisJanus25]

I live in Magna BAY on Shuswap Lake. Looking for Previous episode

[@paulbugnacki7107]

Awesome show.

[@whitby910]

Another great lecture, thank you all.

[@redlester7349]

How can it be that every time I think this series has reached a new peak it turns out to be nothing more than a foothill for the next episode! Absolutely blown away by Jerome and his geological maps being overlaid on the real world images. And then he zooms in, rotates it around and tilts it to show the full three dimensional glory of the world we're learning about. "Just showing off!" One of the themes that keeps coming up every episode now is that more (and better) chronological data is being produced and the historical record can be examined in finer and finer resolution. As a consequence, the understanding of what events were happened in what order allows for better and more detailed stories to be told. I think I can safely predict that this series will be held up as a (new) textbook example of how to present (or teach) Science to the public. The preparatory work to set out basics of the region and the mechanisms at work and then the excitement as expert guests have been able to come in and take us on a deep dive - and yet do so in such an understandable fashion. If I'd been told back at the start of the series just how much I would understand by the end of it, I probably wouldn't have believed it. This has been a brilliant learning exercise and it's a testament to how Nick has constructed the framework and to how his multitude of quests have fully committed themselves to the project and how they have enhanced the learning process. And not forgetting the level of engagement of the 1,000 or more public viewers who watch live and provide such insightful and interesting questions.

[@GeologyNick]

Thank you for your very nice comment.

[@jaredput]

I have been waiting for Mr Zentner to do an episode of the Kamloops Eocene for awhile! Haven't watched the episode yet. Will finish my comment once the video is over. Geology knows no man-made boarders!

[@davied5496]

Nick it would be great if you could have some encore presentations after this That summarizes all of this and brings it all together. Thanks again Nick for all this, it’s wonderful

[@jamesdriscoll_tmp1515]

[@d.t.4523]

Thank you Nick, and Jerome.

[@jameswatt8841]

Soooo goood! Thankyou for amazing geology lectures I’m in cache creek right next to an accretionary zone created at a subduction zone. And was looking for research on the area. And now I’m hooked on your lectures

[@estherclawson6876]

I still watch the beginning when he's greeting people because it's wholesome and fun to feel a part of the stream even though it happened weeks ago.

[@JacquiBinfordBell]

I watched most of Baja BC before the Eocene. Plan to go back and rewatch Baja BC while waiting for your newest series this coming winter 23/24

[@michaeljameson6468]

Great episode Nick. I would love it if you would debate some of those so-called “geologists” on the Answers in Genesis channel. Because you know, the earth is really only 6000 years old…. Lol

[@mikhailnikolaev7813]

wow this is really awesome, I never knew I could be so interested in geology

[@mikekaup5252]

Nick, I looked up that tunk stone in the net. It looks exactly like a medium rare steak just the way I like it. It made my mouth water!

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

1:04:46 best part of the show. Jerome showing his skills with overlaying a map on Google earth, quickly followed up by Nick’s enthusiastic “Woohoohooooo!!!!” Haha. Love it. Jerome and Nick should start a spin-off KZbin channel. Nick and Jerome on the Rocks?

[@martinm3474]

Club meeting was okay, it is the 74th anniversary of IGAMS of Independence Missouri. Their silent auction was fine but most minerals didn't have any labels. Time to catch up from this morning.

[@fraserhenderson7839]

In BC, we comprehend "warm" and "cold" but we have difficulty with the term "BIG HUNK". It sounds like something one might find on a popular beach in California.

[@johnnash5118]

I had two unanswered live chat questions. The first: WHAT IS THE MECHANISM TO THE NORMAL FAULT VOLCANISM? The second: @1:55:25 IS THERE A “NEW” SLAB WINDOW AT THE EXPLORER SPREADING RIDGE TRIPLE JUNCTION SUBDUCTION, WITH THE QUEEN CHARLOTTE FAULT @NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND @50.16 deg. N. Lat. 129.78 deg. W. Long.? Considering the NW-SE projection of NA and its WSW drift, the current orientation with the Explorer spreading ridge appears to have been subducted for millions or tens of millions of years; just push NA backward ENE @1,000 K’s and follow the restored Explorer or “Kula-Resurrection” Plate offsets to the NW.

[@gamarus0kragh]

I think Jerome thought the normal fault volcanism would be tied to the exploitation of the weak zone the the fault creates. The magmas will try to find the path of least resistance and where a graben forms that would be along it's bounding fault lines.

[@johnnash5118]

@@gamarus0kragh Thank you for the reply RKH, I see the connection there at the upper crust, that is obvious to me; but what is the decompression mechanism to transform peridotite into basalt into magma? H2O? Which is the cause, and which is the effect?

[@gamarus0kragh]

@@johnnash5118 Hi John. That is a very good question and when I wrote the first answer I did think a bit about the origin of the magmas. There is no answer in this episode so this is my take on it. (And sorry, it will be a bit of a stream of consiusness) First the setting. It's a graben in the metamorphic crystalline core (MCC). First thought, there are melts associated with the MCC. That though doesn't really resolve it to me as the graben formation is a brittle deformation. It could be residual melts but they would in all likelihood be rather peculiar or at least highly enriched in silica. Rather, I think one should look to the age of the erupted material. One of the comments in the live stream brought up a date (in conjunction with the fossil beds in the sediments above the vulcanic deposits I belive). That date was 51.02 MYA (I don't recall the uncertainty). That puts the erupted material in a bracket between the exposure of the MCC and laying down the sediments, so in the region of 53(??) to 51 MYA. With what has been discussed before on the channel, that points towards Challis Magmas and the mechanism could be slab rollback. This theory of mine all hinges on me not misinterpretating that comment regarding the dating of the sediment. If the magmas are younger than the flare-up grouped as Challis Magmas, we have to look for another explanation. (And there is also the possibility that this IS related to the graben formation). Please share your thoughts. Does it seem plausible or do you favour another explanation?

[@johnnash5118]

@@gamarus0kragh Hi RKH, I wasn’t being rhetorical, and respect your interpretation of the evidence. Idk myself, I was hoping to get an answer from the Dr. Your interpretation seems plausible, especially since it’s inline with the previous classes. I’m more curious however (whatever is more plausible,) if H2O is at play, similar to subduction introduction, and if so, how. Dr. Ying Zhou presented an alternative to mantle plumes involving H2O from Farallon slab @the MTZ. Since this is plausible with Hotspot Plumes, it may also be a mechanism for the normal fault volcanism.

[@brianlhughes]

You're welcome! Thanks again for the channel. I had no idea that we would be talking about the Okanogan. Tunk is near MCm, south of Hwy 20 east of Tonasket at 33:40. At 34:49 we are looking north from Riverside at the hills west of Tunk. West of that location near Riverside where Hwy 20/97 climbs out of the river valley toward Booher lake is a huge fault line, you can see the shadow of it on Google maps. The top edge of that fault always interested me how the gently rolling grasslands above to the west comes to this jagged shear line and drops straight down to the valley floor. Here's a link to it: www.google.com/maps/place/48%C2%B032'55.0%22N+119%C2%B033'03.8%22W/@48.5314327,-119.5271299,12.04z/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x549cdce5b43f815b:0x78d8284d21c62087!2sRiverside,+WA!3b1!8m2!3d48.5023752!4d-119.506439!3m5!1s0x0:0x2fdc421d2053d30!7e2!8m2!3d48.5486001!4d-119.5510533 Here's link to a bigger cut sample of the Tunk Thulite, really shows off the color: photos.app.goo.gl/5NJu7AkqqyRxxfxu7 A bit of off topic trivia: Walter Braittan, co-creator of the first transistor, lived near Tonasket for a time and went to school there. Pappy "Black Sheep" Boyington of WW2 fame grew up near Riverside and my other Grandmother dated him!

[@complimentary_voucher]

I just want to put some more respect on Jerome's name. There is nothing better, and unfortunately rarer, than a teacher with this kind of grasp of their subject and enough intellectual confidence to say 'IDK' when they really don't, instead of squashing questions and bullshitting their way over a challenge. This dude can get a random person excited about the 3D realities of sub-ice sheet water movement, ffs, and that's some dirty wizard shit. Also, he has pretty eyes lol.
