“Gotta get the money shot! oh lookatdat! What are you DOIN!?“ all day, everyday.

[@VoMFilms]

One time me and me mates went to this beautiful creek for a swim and a day of enjoying mushrooms and yoghurt. I got high as shit and started checking out the local geology. Rocky creek and the base of a mountain. Phyllite that had been lifted on its side and broken up in the creek bed. It had heaps of quartz all through it and oh my lordy it shun beautifully in the water. As I was checking out a rock wall one of my mates shouted out to me, (commenting on the state of high affairs) "and she's just over there staring at a wall!" Lost my shit when I realised how crazy I must have looked xD

How cool was that, dude finds the fossil you were talkin' about.

[@mkraulis]

Looking at fossils, in situ, is like like finding new photo albums of your grand parents' and parents' friends, long gone. Lives lived. A strange kind of longing to know them all the same. Good video.

[@morganw.4711]

Hey Tony, heard from the podcast you might take a little break. Just want to say we appreciate all your videos and I certainly have gained a huge interest in species native to my state(Texas) and the propagation of Asclepias. I plan to travel around looking for different Eriogonum species in the near future as I find them really fascinating after learning just how weird of a Genus they actually are!

[@wolfcatcombo5859]

Just wanted to let you know that I got more into taking care of plants because of your videos. I never new that botany could be so interesting, as an IT professional. Thanks!

At first all mint, then yellow, purple, red... beautiful. And I love all geraniums so that was a treat.

[@craighoover1495]

Outstanding episode. Loved every bit. Jets might be from Mountain Home AFB (where I lived 4 years as a dependent). Then they flew Phantoms and B-52s. I think the sheep just like to talk to each other as herd animals. Thank you Joey. Glad you got out into this kind of area.

Ahhh, yeah! What an awesome botanical fossilized Eocene walkabout! Cheers for that. ❤️🙏 Sorry the Artemisia wasn’t more exciting. 👀 I grew up with that all over the house.. our dear old Mum did her masters in Botany on Artemisia. Cheers, from Southern Oregon.

[@katiekane5247]

Really love Geranium species, sad that most people think of those over-used & garish Pelargoniums. Too much glitz reverence in the world. Thanks for appreciating the important little guys & sharing with us. Love those Pyrenees, terrific shepherd dogs!

[@trooperandcooperale3057]

I'll tell ya, there's not too many channels I can be bothered to share on social media to get people passionate about their surroundings, you're one and the other is Arborist Blair Glenn. Reading into fossils is like finding an old 1930 magazine in a Gold Mine that wasn't used for toilet paper. Love what you do. That's a description an a statement.

What a great fossil deposit. Best preserved leaves I've seen. The prevalence of serrated leaves tends to indicate a temperate or subarctic climate.

Sheepherding is no joke. After reading the posting on the Idaho Employment website, I found I was grossly underqualified.

Love the petrified wood right off the bat. While the Heeler is takin a poop, 'Why you guys makin a goop?!' and don't hide your rock fetishes. The leaf fossils are fascinating, I like the suggestion that they were at high altitudes. The sleuthing for how it was in the Eocene is so interesting, yes, dreaming of being there. Another great video, thanks for bringing us along.

you turned me into a fern guy. Living in the PNW theres not a whole lot of biodiversity of our plants.... except ferns. Theres tons of hybridized and variations on the common ferns and some rarer ones out here in the wetlands.

[@WildSuns42]

About wanting to go back to earlier time. There is a story about John James Audubon laying on the bank of a river counting a giant flock of passenger pigeons as they passed over head. And while doing so he also thought about this new understanding of extinction and the age of the world of dinasuars. He wished he could go back and witness such a time of great change, never aware that he was already witness to exactly the same thing flying directly over his head.

[@bexrunyan1862]

Could still be hot spot, there are a series of Caldera craters trailing into Oregon. Nick Zentner from Central Washington University has done a lecture on them, it's here on KZbin somewhere

[@dmurphine]

This was so cool, especially when the Peruvian herder shares the experience. But wondering if you ever worry about contracting Valley Fever (coccidioidomycosis) when you're out digging in the wilds, particularly desert areas? The dogs can get it too. I know of a horticulturalist in San Diego that was hospitalized in June for it.

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Yes, but that fungus is only in the Sonoran desert and lowland desert regions, not Northern Nevada at 8,000'.
