Michael Eddy: Teanaway Formation

[@RonSparks2112]

Thank you for this fascinating and very informative video. Nick, you have done something remarkable for geology education. You have done a great job covering the gamut from post-graduate level teaching, to informing interested laymen, to inspiring freshmen students who didn't really want to be in a required science class. I have learned much, and am continuing to learn from your video work. Thank you for what you do.

Mike Eddy is the Mr. precise, yet the flexible and open minded thinker, and a great listener! Mike, you are everything we would hope for in a geologist as a scientist! I'm sure your achievements encourage more of younger people to get into the geological field with full of ambitions. Thank you for keeping in touch with our community!!💞🩷✨

Thanks Nick. This is a Monday morning treat.

Thank you, Nick and Mike, for an excellent discussion about this chapter of the region's geologic history. This episode has tied together nicely what in my mind were a bunch of dispirit geologic stories into a coherent, comprehensive package--at least creating a foundation for understanding how things came together during this timeframe.

Thank you, Nick and Mike.

Thanks Mike and Nick! Interesting discussion.

Thanks again to Proffessors Eddy and Zentner very intersting thoughts, Merry Christamas

[@sharonseal9150]

Wow this was great! Always interesting to hear Mike Eddy's thoughts on our geology. I loved the "all Hell broke loose" explanation. It is kind of like last season with the ice ages - no need to attribute everything to a single flood, and no need to attribute the Eocene volcanic output to a single cause. These goelogy talk sessions always get me thinking new thoughts and making new connections.

Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!

[@cyndikarp3368]

Thanks for review with Mike Eddy. Helps to refresh memories.

[@pinkerdroit]

Thank you for sharing this interview! 🪨💥🔨 Cheers~

[@raenbow66]

Great, I was looking forward to this.

[@reginebellefontaine4936]

Mike Eddy has a convincing way in putting complicated events in perspective. In short, do not try to choose between three trouble makers, because all three were there at the same place at the same time and acted together, hence the spectacular chaos.

Bimodal volcanism is typical of a rift. 21:19, Thanks Mike and Nick for the clarity (not calling you Saint Nick yet, closing in on it , yes).

[@wiregold8930]

I enjoyed Mike's description of bi-modal volcanism. And he used the correct word 'founder' for a detached plate segment! Far too many people use the noun flounder as a verb.

[@timbyrne914]

I think a plate "floundering" would be more like flat slab subduction - like a flounder moving along the seafloor without much vertical motion.

Thank you Nick for sharing this interview, Mike is heading an interesting study that raises the bar in precision. I admire his avoidance at coming to a conclusive answer to your question @21:23 by prefacing it as an educated guess. Nick, Great clarifying question of two theories- Near-Trench Magmas or Break-Off Belt Magmas (Slab Failure.) "So to you, do all of these bimodal units that used to be together in Central Washington... Are they more the signature of ridge subduction to you?.. or break-off of the Farallon plate due to the collision of Siletzia?.. or both?.." My observational frame of reference so far, is based off of the present-day subducting Explorer ridge @the Southern base of the Queen Charlotte fault and the lack of publications or presented evidence of "Near Trench Magmas" in the adjacent Moresby, Aristazabal, Princess Royal, King or Calvert islands, B.C. to the East of the Explorer Ridge subduction. Great answer Mike @21:48.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@stevenrey56]

Really liked your questions Nick! And his answers!

[@dancooper8551]

Thanks Nick and Mike!

[@QuaaludeCharlie]

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year .

[@charlesflorian1758]

Just another surprise. Thanks Nick & Mike. BTW Happy Christmas and New Year. Rotten and foggy here in Prosser.

The Answer to all My questions. Having Jeeped every trail to Naches. Manastash,.Taneum Creek Walker Valley I kept noticing similar Formations Circa 1974 at UW Geology Camp.in Leavenworth as a Whipper Snapper. Mike is Incredible piecing this all together, A Modern Day Super Hero { X Ray Vision) in My Book.Oh, I have Learned So Much I think My Teenager is Jelly Lol. What is Jelly? says Old guy!

Only 2300 subs away from 100K and a silver plack in Nick's office !:-) 🤗

[@sherisummers525]

I’m curious if the strike slip was as far north as Ft. St. James in BC

[@rmsrmsrmsrms]

Hope you can add those papers to the Cascades library!

[@willbradley7450]

If plates are going to move with respect to one another, the easiest place to move is where the crust is thinnest and hottest, right? So, if there are unbalanced forces working on adjacent plates, there is reason to believe that the rift margins are where the resistance is least, ergo, the zone where the greatest displacement can occur and leave little trace. The location and influence of the rifts seems underplayed to me in this story as well as the Baja-BC story. The shattering of Siletzia into blocks with clockwise rotation is not surprising given the forces involved. Working out the force vectors for the possible rift arrangements is still work to be done perhaps?

Dang. I would have hauled gear up for a Mt. Daniel’s base camp! 😂
