Its just amazing how this happened and we are here at this time to appreciate it's beauty! Thats some recipe of actions going on over time.

Went here yesterday, all those sparkly silvery rocks in the stream bed. A very beautiful place to hike.

My absolute favorite place in the world! I’m here almost weekly so it was fascinating to finally learn about these rocks! Thank you so much!

I'm glad you liked it! thanks!

I've been going to those mountains and Bash Bish falls for over 40 years and I even tried gold panning in the upper and lover Bash Bish brook. I bought a rock hound guide just so I knew what I was walking on. Good Fun! Thanks

@@Geobeck I wish I had brought the book with me as I have now retired to Ischia Italy, a volcano off the coast of Naples. Still there are plenty of resources online like yourself. Ciao!

My A in earth science class failed to steer my life in that direction. These vids are compensating nicely, so thanks!

Dinosaur tracks on rt5 Holyoke ma are pretty cool constant reminder of just how old our valley is ❤

This was very much what I'd like to see you do for the videos. Natural beauty and brain-food.

Thanks for the feedback!! I will definitely make more videos like this one :)

Thank you thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing. I can’t explain how much I love this. Wish I could bottle up your knowledge.

Note. The Shawangunks were relatively close to the ancient Taconics, thus the large sizes of the pebbles in the conglomerate there, and the heavier and more dense. (quartz) I grew up in Clinton, NY, 100 miles west of Albany. The rock there is also Silurian, but much finer in grain. I am not a geologist, but I speculate that the further west you go, the less heavy and finer grain the sediments become. By the way there is a henatite, named after Clinton, that stretches far to the south. They used to make iron in the 19th century, and for red paint until about 1960. Mostly, central NY is shale, and when I wss young my father took me to a quarry where we found crinoids and many cephalopods.

I absolutely love the geology of western and Central mass !!! I have been to bash bish many many times and it is a unique and beautiful waterfall (as a side note, one of the last few places in mass. with true old growth forest, the hemlock grove at the peak overlooking the falls). If you spend much time in western mass., consider taking a drive east on route 20 from Lee MA through to Chester MA, leaving Becket MA towards Chester you will see several different locations where the different orogenies are exposed showing the varied rock strata. I may try to link a few good spots to stop at along the roadway, places I've visited to examine the geology.

I live in Massachusetts but lived up in the white mountains of NH Gorham to be exact and love rivers there my favorite

Love your videos beck well done on doing geology one of my biggest regrets was not getting my geology degree

thank you very much, very much Geo Beck

Glaciers are another amazing thing wow I notice the erratics n the ones that are scared from the retreating ice. I’m a rock hounder and live just south of Boston and we have lots of fossilized rocks and there pretty cool

Amazing to see the geology you're describing here taking place now in Iceland, so much of it is so young, and still losing its glaciers. I really admire your knowledge and enthusiasm for geology. 👍

Also excellent!!!

Very nicely done !!

Hi there Geo Beck, I'm a geologist and teacher here in the Albany, NY area. I'm pretty good with the local stratigraphy, If you would like talk just let me know! Nice work!

Loved it!

There's a great book, "The Rise and Fall of the Taconic Mountains" by Donald Fisher

Wonderful, beautiful and very interesting, thanks for sharing Becky.

Excellent content.

If you want an amazing example of glacial erratics you should go to balance rock near pittsfield state park

I love this place!!! The elevated platforms at the campgrounds set me up like a king and the trails / scenery are gorgeous. I’ve never been there in the wintertime tho

What a great video. I got the information from your mom. Good luck!

Interesting vid...check out Nick Zentner cwu prof west coast geology vids

I'm a little scared for you doing these videos alone. Please be careful !
