Captivating video and fascinating topic, Nick. Thank you for sharing/posting. I miss the excitement and freedom of being in the field, exploring. So, until I can have such experiences again, I'm living vicariously through you and your videos. Again, much appreciated, your sharing your knowledge/experience with us. 🤠⚒️🪨

The great thing about field geology is that you can never see all of the interesting outcrops in a single lifetime.

Actually I have a plan for one that covers the whole magmatic hydrothermal transition system.

Hope to see approach u did with the UST, ie field-based answers to ‘what’ and the ‘why’, then its application to exploration (vectoring the ore!). I think twas the animation AND your content+delivery to it that made the concepts you want to share make the whole thing digestible and easy to remember/imagine. (The others that are more academically bent are also good but they serve a different crowd). Cheers Nick! 😊
@GeologyUpSkill6 күн бұрын
Thanks very much. The only issue is the animations take a ton of time (or money) to do so it's hard to balance that with actual paid work time. The revenue from youtube is so tiny that it would never be a commercial exercise. I just have to do them when opportunity arises.

Stockscheider pegmatites are essentially large USTs. Best way to send me photos and engage in discussion is to link up on linkedin.

Why not calling it a collorform texture?
@GeologyUpSkill7 күн бұрын
Colloform usually refers to concentric bandind of amorphous or chalcedonic quartz. These quartz bands are always crystalline. I' working on a series of videos now about the details of different quartz textures.

if these grew in water layers at the top of the intrusion dome, i dont see why it wouldnt essentially become a pegmatite.

The difference between these and pegmatites is really only size, infact larger ones are often named stocksheider pegmatites.

Greatly appreciated. Am learning a lot from your videos. Quartz is also interesting as the cementing agent when sedimentary columns turn back into rock by pressure solution of quartz. google "Proposed Model for Shale Compaction Kinetics" and " Shale Compaction Kinetics: Parameter Sensitivity to a Range of Assumed Deposition Rates". Thank you again for the great examples. Will watch again.
@GeologyUpSkill7 күн бұрын
Quartz is a useful indicator in a huge range of geological processes because it is present in almost every rock and it dissolves in almost every fluid.
