The Raton Basin / Once Upon A Geologic Time

[@dippyanddakota]

I spent several years looking at Open Hole logs back in the late 00's while working for Halliburton and Weatherford as a log analyst. And I just drove thru there again last week. You really opened my mind. Thanks.

Thank you for helping me read the history of the Raton Basin through the exposed geology. For perspective and additional clarity, I would have appreciated some mention of how long each of the geological changes you discussed took.

Great to have another upcoming geo channel. You make sedimentology interesting! Keep up the programming...

Completely fascinating. I'll probably need to watch this several more times. Really interesting seeing the photos from Argentina as well.

This is fantastic! Love that area. Thanks for explaining the geologic story here. The antidune part was really helpful

[@2hacksbuilding82]

This is close to where I live. Thanks for the awesome video

[@mikestacie11]

This is great!! I'm excited to see the upcoming episodes. Maybe there will be one about the Salem Limestone in Ste Genevieve County Missouri??

[@dirkbodnar3357]

Awesome video. Love the Raton Pass Geology. Good job students you Rock !

Pun intended 😂

Now after that 'nice' spiel, how about looking at the 'big' picture. According to Genesis, from the 'Begats', the Flood was in the year 1625, aka no rain. Then incorporate the Wilkes Land impact, Bedout impact and Vredefort impact.

I could never hear what state or country that the Raton Basin is in.

[@Sinderbad]

It’s in Colorado. Follow I-25 north from the CO/NM state line and you will see Trinidad.

[@j.m.b.greengardens968]

Colorado and New Mexico. Raton is a town in New Mexico, and it my be that the basin was named for it. The video was shot on the Colorado side of the border.

I was put off by the 'Christian' school affiliation, but this guy seems very sharp and not spouting their delusions. He is a professional.
