Geology Lesson of the Day! - Hydrothermal Gold Deposits

[@lundgrenbronzestudios]

I’m a geologist and I think you just did an excellent job at explaining this. Very well done.

[@bobhekker4060]

Dan...thanks for "dumbing it down" for us non-technical folks who just enjoy you!! All your content is so interesting.

[@bensullivan9478]

Oh man oh man oh man.. the way u explained the science behind this topic is better than most of the dedicated science communicators.. 💪 informative, easy to listen to, your tone is engaging instead of sleep inducing, and u have a glorious beard to match❤

[@ashcroftttt]

You really have to appreciate how je can explain such a complex concept in a clear and concise way while staying entertaining. Hope the algo picks this one up and we get to see more of the like.

[@amritseecharan848]

Dan is the best geology teacher you can have. He is well grounded. :-)

[@ut000bs]

Geophysicists agree. lol 👍‍

[@tolson57]

Dan, that is the best explanation of how minerals are deposited in veins I have heard to date. I always has questions as to why the deposited in veins and why certain minerals were found together. Now I understand. Thank you

[@tony16146]

Please do more of the "G.L.O.D" They fantastically educational... "Please sir can I have some more"... 🤣... Take care regards Tony... 👍

[@Neon-Sauce]

I think this was your most educational geology lesson you’ve given us… I learned so much. Gives me a better appreciation for Yellowstone… thanks Dan!

[@Hawkeye2001]

One of my favorite Dan Hurd videos. Thank You.

[@Hammer208Blacksmith]

Thank you for simplifying it so well!! Welcome to Yellowstone! Glad you got to visit near me. 😊

[@summerrainsong7506]

We need Mr. Dan in our schools teaching as he is amazing and he has a way about him that makes one wish to learn.

[@sylviaburns2995]

Dan Hurd: EXCITES, MOTIVATES AND TEACHES!!! WE ARE ALL BETTER FOR IT!!!!

[@summerrainsong7506]

@sylviaburns2995 you are one amazing person, I work with Autistic kiddo's. They are some of the most knowledgeable kiddo's their I.Q is off the charts. I often share your videos with them I get bombarded with questions. They said they would love it if you would explain in a video what or who got you interested gold and gemstones as well as fossils.

[@ThatOpalGuy]

Note: apparently he was a shop teacher when he taught. Not that it matters, but I find it interesting.

[@summerrainsong7506]

@@ThatOpalGuy absolutely!

[@OutlawRed-s4o]

At the end of the school year, after they've finished their Standards of Learning exams, they could watch Dan Hurd here on KZbin in the High School classrooms instead of the Disney movies they are required to watch for days on end until school lets out.

[@JosephDiPiazza-g3k]

Thanks for the geology lesson of the day ! My wife and I look forward to them.

[@davetaylor798]

Dan, you are one of my personal heroes. Shaking your hand, taking you and yours to dinner, and asking for you to autograph my gold pan are the Hat Trick of my bucket list.

[@gariott8681]

Time to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy another episode of from Dan. Thanks bud!

[@UAGalya]

I was thinking only me is watching this early morning ☕️☕️🍪

[@markpasquarella3223]

That’s exactly what I’m doing

[@guidorea8347]

The more I watch your videos, the more I learn... Thanks Dan!....🙂👍

[@oRealList]

Love the passion to teach, Dan. Keep up the great content!

[@mford66215]

Yellowstone is a unique location that everyone should do their best to visit. Thanks, Dan, It's an excellent video and highly educative!

[@jessicawolk-stanley4421]

Nice simplified explanation! Thanks!!!

[@ARGONUAT]

Thanks, Dan! That explains oodles, particularly with how high pressure allows those minerals to dissolve in water. Great work as always!

[@jamesriggsdds2337]

I thought you were leaving out one of the most important factors of mineral deposition: temperature! But you pulled it out in the last minute. Very nice simple explanation of hydrothermal deposition! 👍👍

[@nunyabisnass1141]

I always suspected minute quantities of gold were dissolved under extreme pressure and high temps, but from what I heard it wasn't exactly certain this was the process, even though it is the most likely. But it makes sense, since faults tend to have varying sizes of gold particles as if they precipitated out suddenly when mineral rich water surges into the cracks, rather than growing larger over a slower period of time.

[@glennquagmire1747]

I always wondered if gold was being deposited from them vents and hoped someone would take interest to explore this for many years, looks like the perfect man took time to investigate this for us, wonderful video. 👍

[@jbanannas]

Amazing educator. Nat Geo should hire him to do shows !

[@susanturcotte3176]

Dan visiting Old Faithful in Yellowstone Park!?! I loved the GLOTD about hydro thermal activity and minerals! I bet you had a blast, too! Thank you so much for explaining it to everyone. Blessings from Alabama ❤️

[@rogerdudra178]

I went into the park frequent;y while I lived in Bozeman. It's neat to learn about the stuff in there.

[@markkilley2683]

Thanks. Very informative.

[@curtsmall8596]

Thanks again, Dan, your knowledge sharing is so wonderful! Appreciate the wonderful images of Yellowstone, too

[@AnimalWhisper007]

You ROCK Dan !!!

[@brandoncrow768]

This is an absolutely amazing lesson. I am an awe. Thank you for spending the time to teach us something.

[@cwccharters]

Excellent basic explanation. I LOVE taking tour groups to Yellowstone! A ranger told me the lodge at Old Faithful has a massive gold vein that is covered by the lodge, fact, or fiction. Who knows for sure.

[@ProspectorAl]

Dan's days as a teacher show here. I bet he was a good one!

[@JohnPeal]

Dan that was very well explained!

[@marilynm8812]

Thank you for showing us Americans something from one of our own states. My family was there many years ago (without me). Hope you enjoyed yourself.

[@topdoggames5105]

it takes a true prospector to know where and how things get placed to dig up - gg dan

[@anthonykeller2279]

Thanks Dan. I enjoy all your videos. Especially your GLOTD videos.

[@vikinggoneraiding584]

maybe the clever people say that you oversimplyfy your explanation. but you explained it very well so that i (a mortal person) understands! thanks for another great video :D

[@Boxelder1]

Thanks!

[@chrisanderson9276]

😊thanks Dan Best simple explanation of how gold gets to our pans Thanks again

[@IsAmericaforSaletoChina]

I have not been there since I was a small child about 6 and I still recognized yellow stone from the start.

[@rikspector]

Dan, That was a real BLAST!!!!! Cheers, Rik Spector

[@PDLM1221]

Dan thanks for another explanation of how we get certain minerals!

[@Trezker]

This is the kind of educational content I like.

[@ut000bs]

Dang, Dan. "Speaking as a geophysicist…" I can certainly tell you are a teacher and I bet a doggone good one when you're anywhere near as excited as here. I am not a professor but if I had decided to be and you turned this video in to me in my geology class, for any sort of credit, you would get an A+. Simple but broke into my imagination immediately. High school level and if any of you high school grads out there do not know much of any of this it is neither Dan's nor my fault. 😉🖖‍ Above all else and what is most important, it is accurate. Told in a way that should be done much more often. Thank you, Dan.

[@chuckheahfort1399]

Real fans like this Canadian in practice. Always enlightening and featuring geologic occupancies naturally.👊🧂🇺🇸

[@Gardeningchristine]

Nice video! I hope you enjoyed your vacation! And didn’t get too sunburnt!

[@shineyrocks390]

We love you Dan

[@johnjacobs1625]

Nice job Dan!! Thanks for taking us along. JJ

[@radbrickdad7252]

Alright! I was the one that ran into you as old faithful was finishing up!

[@josephpalen7149]

Simple to the point .... perfect!

[@prospectpat]

What a cool area, Yellowstone is definitely on the bucket list!

[@buscandooroartesanalmentes3823]

amazing

[@mutualbeard]

Thanks Dan. Very well explained for people like me.

[@mrbigfish6951]

Thanks Dan best geology lesson to date

[@terrybevis2872]

I have learned so much from you. You deserve professor Dan Hurd in my book

[@davidvdbergen]

This was the most fun geology lesson ever!

[@jayllin13]

Dans the man!!! Thank You for making it all understandable, you rock

[@noob19087]

I think he mineral, or native gold.

[@StudlyMcDude]

Thank you. That was the best geology lesson I've ever listened to. It really put all my geology knowledge into perspective.

[@bentationfunkiloglio]

Love geology discussion. Thx! Some minor corrections. Gold does form sulfide compounds (e.g., gold sulfide). I believe that gold will only dissolve in hot, high pressure water in the presence of other chemicals such as chlorine, manganese, etc.

[@SuperIClaudius]

Thanks, Dan!

[@twigglykevin]

The timer was a great touch dan ,,,,,,,👍

[@thecanadianhillbilly]

amazing video Dan! I haven't been there since I was a kid. Your video brought back so many memories I have of my now passed away Dad. It was a great vacation. Again thank you for what you do eh.

[@Mr.Spanky]

I love the bit about pyrite and native metals

[@generost5435]

Thanks Dan, enjoy your lessons.

[@pickles632]

Wow, fabulous explanation about thermodynamics and underground heated material!

[@debfuller5595]

I really enjoy your videos and love your geology lessons. After finding your site and watching for a month I finally subscribed. Greetings from Vermont, USA.

[@Cmcmillen77]

Dan is the best!!!

[@ghlscitel6714]

Simplified but still enlightening. Well done, Dan.

[@lonthrall5613]

Very good presentation! Thank you!

[@smaggies]

Big thanks Dan :) I do rock along with silver and gold, I need to get out and finding minerals in my neighborhood. :)

[@bobfromabsurdistan361]

Color me learnt...again. Thanks Dan

[@davidleslie1963]

Dan, that was great information. I knew some of it but you explained it well! Thank you.

[@williamhammock293]

Never stop learning, watch Dan lol

[@bradleyslightom6313]

Always enjoy the classroom presentation in the field!

[@bensullivan9478]

u made my day with this morsel of wisdom, i appreciate the knockers off ya Mr Hurd 💪

[@michaelwaddell9461]

It was awesome seeing in person

[@johndeuel3439]

Once again I hit like a few seconds in and as usual you didn't disappoint. Thank you for yet another learning experience Dan.

[@barbaraturner2611]

Nice video, Dan! I consider Yellowstone's geysers and other thermals to be Earth's pressure relief valves!

[@grandparocky]

I really enjoyed your presentation here Dan you are giving us programing at an excellent level! Thank you for your work! God Bless!

[@ArcturanMegadonkey]

Brilliant as always Dan, I learned a lot. Paul

[@sparky-jw4pc]

U know it's going to be a good lesson when it has it's own video

[@snchilders]

Thanks, Dan, you just answered questions that I've pondered for a long time.

[@jacobtrombley3124]

Hey dan you’re the man !❤ I just wanted to interject a sub geology lesson 😂… no one actually knows what’s beyond the earths crust… Russia tried to drill through. It got down 7.6 miles and the drill kept breaking and they couldn’t go any further.:) I was triggered by the old earth core diagram that I saw in school that turns out is only a theory because of volcanoes obviously… The fact remains, however, no one knows what’s beyond the earths crust 😊

[@jacobtrombley3124]

An accurate earth diagram would be a ball of rock with a question mark in the middle 😂😊❤

[@bobfoster687]

Seismic wave speed gives an indication of the interior of the Earth.

[@traviswalker6831]

Thank you Dan!

[@craigtrimble239]

Awesome lesson Dan, thank you

[@davidgriffin8266]

Thank you, Dan ! The beard is majestic, sir !!

nice and simple, top show Dan.

[@barrywebber100]

Good chat thanks Dan.

[@renedef1]

Thanks for the lesson. Very interesting!

[@short-fuse]

Pretty good explanation thanks Dan!

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

That was phenomenal. That's a place I need to go to

[@fernalicious]

Great presentation, thanks.

[@Numismaniac_Canada]

Thank you for sharing this information with us! 😊😊

[@ScottG420]

Thank you Dan, that was very informative.

[@edwardenglish1519]

Great explanation, sometimes simple is better.

[@chrisdaniels3929]

Thanks Dan. Great video.

[@associatedblacksheepandmisfits]

Thanks Danman, wishing you luck 😊

[@juliefuller2064]

Love You Dan Great Teacher!

[@castamere3368]

Just came back from yellowstone myself (came back last tuesday). I go there frequently and am very familiar with the geysers and how they work, but never knew too much about the mineralogy aspect of it One aspect that i find fairly interesting is how with many of the pools, the water is still quite superheated. The boiling point at Old Faithful's elevation is around 199 Fahrenheit. There is a spring near it (at castle geyser) named tortoise shell spring, and it reaches 207 degrees.

[@Happysapien76]

Awesome, thanks Mr. Dan

[@corkkyle]

Dan, this was so informative. Thank you!!

[@Confused_Philosopher]

Thanks for the refresher. I pretty much learned all that in elementary school 🙂
