London Darcé Presenting on the Geologic History of Texas - August 18, 2021

[@LesHeifner]

This is the most informative explanation I've been able to find about the geology of Texas on KZbin. Thank you.

[@bobroberts8500]

That's sad, cuz she doesn't know much.

[@LesHeifner]

@@bobroberts8500 There isn't very much information specific to certain areas of Texas on You Tube. She knew more than anything I could find at the time.

[@LesHeifner]

@@bobroberts8500 Can you point me to any extensive information on the geology of Northeast Texas? Not Dallas, but East of Dallas?

[@bobroberts8500]

@@LesHeifner HGSGeoEducation. It's a yt channel. They have playlist with Texas in the name, going over SE Texas. If you wanna get real deep into the technicals, best bet is with oilmen webinars. Nobody knows what's under our feet more than them.

[@midnightspecial2990]

Thank you Ms. London. Once, I found a fossilized sea sponge about the size of a soccer ball in Wimberly TX, and now I know how it got deposited there.

[@JessicaShull1928]

Thank you all for your efforts!

Colorado Boulder Geology student (from Austin, Texas) with a good amount of sedimentology/stratigraphy under my belt here. This was an awesome overview of Texas, you described everything I was scratching my head over & explained it in terms non-geology individuals can understand!

[@billwilson-es5yn]

The Ouachita Marathon Mountains connected with the Appalachian Mountain Chain in Alabama. The Ouachita Mountains in SE Oklahoma and SW Arkansas are the remaining roots. There are two outcrops in Texas with one by Eagle Pass and one in the Hill Country. One can drive US 59 up to those in Oklahoma to see hairpin folding in the road cuts.

You should do one on volcanoes in Texas. Everyone loves super volcanoes. Talk about that. Wasn’t there one here a long time ago?

[@crawford323]

I understand the lithography of the Appalachian mounts runs under the BigBend formations. Is the Balconies Fault part of this and in-effect a tectonic plate of shorts?

[@SamtheIrishexan]

Good presentation. I have been doing amateur geology with my youngest son he loves it and I was having a hard time getting the info on the tidal ebb and flow maps onto a timeline of sorts. Thanks for taking the time I will make sure someone learns from it =). We live in a unique cluster of multiple USGS types and it seems that the shoreline was at one of those times depositing right where our house sits. Hopefully we can prove it and add to the areas history

[@MichaelEdwards]

Very informative and interesting. Thank you.

[@Cnoted33]

Great work! This is very informative! East Texas remained consistent based on this study.

[@jaym8257]

There are talc schists around Van Horn, Texas. That qualifies as a metamorphic rock won't it?

[@logancoltersr4163]

Michigan existed in Pangea?

[@justaguy6100]

When I was in college in Austin, one of my favorite bands to see live was It's All Balcones Fault. And yeah I saw them at Armadillo World Headquarters. The last time I went to Barton Springs, there was a decent presentation on the Edwards Aquifer btw. And if you go to Austin and DON'T go to Barton Springs... live in shame forever ;-)

[@joshmoore6165]

Giant armadillo fossils were found down here in Ingleside during the foundation digging of the high school as I understand. Also in in Portland.

[@goldnoob]

This is fantastic! Thank you so much!

[@aoconnor2933]

Great presentation! Would have been cool to learn about the Trans-Pecos Magmatic Province in Texas. Thank you for this!

[@GooffuX]

Granite is not metamorphic! It's an igneous rock.

[@ccccclark2605]

Interesting. Ty.

Please cover the Rockwall "rockwall" BS please.

North of llano uplift the Continent is slowly moving West , south of it the Continent ( South America) is moving East.

[@robertcarter8600]

The endless introduction to introduction.

[@TheAnarchitek]

The "age" of rocks has almost nothing to do with "where" they're found (especially when they're calved off from a larger specimen), "why" they are found in such bizarre shapes, locations, and blends, or "how" they got to their current location, or where shattered, infused, or ground to dust. North America, moreso than other continents, was "assembled", and not so long ago. That Pangaea idea is pure 19th Century thinking that outlived its valued long ago. A whole lot of "Six Blind Indian Fakirs Describing an Elephant to the Rajah" thinking going on. "Oh, we have these facts. Let's figure out a theory", IOW.

The presenter could really use some time practicing lecturing. Almost every sentence has got a "um" or two. It's annoying and distracting.

[@frankedgar6694]

First, not all of us can be as perfect as you are so we don’t make rude comments. Second, it’s not near as bad as you seem to think it is. Last, I don’t know where you grew up nor do I care. In Texas, we talk like this. Get over yourself.

[@grishfish]

@@frankedgar6694 Taking offense to a simple and necessary criticism is the mark of a fool. If you put yourself out on the internet, you'd better grow a thicker skin. I listen to professional lecturers regularly, and trust me, it IS as bad as I think it is.

I find mant of the geology talks i try a listen to are filled with umm Um,um,um I think it is a result of the university educational program They are all umm skulls
