Some fascinating specimens in rocky Gilboa.

this makes me so happy. lived in hudson ny my whole life and never learned any of the stuff on this channel.

Awesome that you took the initiative to share your passion and expertise with us, people like you make the world genuinely great. Thank you, looking forward to more!

KZread just introduced me to your channel. You're a breath of fresh air! Keep up the great work ❤

Delightful channel. I especially like when you point to rocks and fossils and show us what to look for

I congratulate you on the thorough, informative and entertaining presentation you gave on the trees of Gilboa. It was well organized and very introspective. I especially enjoyed your comparisons with the nearby fern. Well done, from a biologist, geologist and paleontologist!

Nice to see you post a video. I live in Fishkill, and hike in the Catskills all the time. I had no idea that we had petrified trees there! I flew all the way to Yellowstone to see one! Would love to see/learn more about our area. Thanks for explaining how the Catskills were formed, super cool.

I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT TREES LIKE THAT , I LOVE THESE VIDEOS < 3

I'm a new subscriber, just found your page... I'm also in upstate New York. Your videos are incredibly informative and I'm learning so much more than I ever did in class. I'm always out pickin rocks and playin in the dirt!

Great video! I grew up there, graduated from Gilboa Highschool! The fossils are really cool!

Cool. I work at Wolfspeed/Cree (semiconductor place) so I'm into science stuff. Just found a cool fossil spot where I live and was curious about the local geology. Super cool stuff. Lucky to live in an area with this geology/history. Sad that I know too many people who, when I tell them I found sea life fossils they say "must have been a flood cuz this is NY not the ocean". Knowledge is power.

Fantastic thank you so much for the Geologic overview and then the fossil visit

Nice Beck, I love ❤️ science and geology.

So very interesting !!! You explain it so very well thank you !!! I have property in Downsville. I’m on my property was once a quarry. I find many specimens of wood fossil. Stick formation, Rusty wood in blue stone. I knew they were fossils now I understand more about it. Great job very articulate and thank you very much for sharing your interest and your knowledge. Keep up the great work.

Good to see you back and with another very interesting topic. Thanks for the info - you are so lucky to be living close to those fossils! 😊

finally a new video after 200my 😂😂

It certainly feels that long! haha

Born and raised in the Hudson Valley, a wannabe rock nerd, recently found your channel, thankyou for teaching me more with just a few vids than I've learned in several years of wasted school

Unlocked my memories of being in that tiny museum, no clue why I clicked on this I was looking up tree types,, wonderful

Hi Beck.....Love Your Videos ....Can you make a video about Common Minerals and How to identify them...would be really helpful

I worked rebuilding the damn in 2008 was there when we found some of those root ball’s down in the bottom of the spillway. Good stuff definitely learned a few things watching your video let’s go find some old growth forests 🌳 for a video ❤

Wow - thank you for sharing all your knowledge!

Every time i heard that beeping sound I thought my Pop Tarts were ready ! Lol

Thank you kindly for this most informative clip! During the '80's and into the early '90's I had spent allot of time around Catskill, Cairo, Round Top and Kaaterskill Clove & falls. Though I had heard about the recent fossil discovery in Cairo, I don't recall hearing about Gilboa. My wife and I have it on our list of places to visit this summer. Can't overstate how much this area speaks to me & your video just adds to the intrigue. Thanks again!

I live in Tioga county NY and moved here from Florida back in 2017. I’m obsessed with fossils and have a TON from Fl but now getting into fossils here in NY

Thank you Geo Beck!

Never heard about that! I don’t know if you ever heard about thatcher park Indian ladder but it’s cool geological place in Albany ny. I’m like 20 minutes away usually take my dog for hikes there. Im into artifacts wether it’s fossils or Indian artifacts. Im almost certain I’ve seen rocks like that there!

I had to test concrete at the dam recently. I found the museum when I was out there and went back with my fiance the next weekend. I liked it a lot. This is a very interesting topic.

The techonic mountain range used to be part of the Himalaya mountains! Super cool!🏆

Thank you for posting this great video, which I did share. Like you I only live about an hour from Gilboa and have looked at camp grounds there. Now I have even more reason to go camping in Gilboa.

that was a great presentation, i learned a lot

Have,always,loved geology and fossils Thanks for the video.

Another fabulous video! I live in the shadow of Overlook mtn (3 miles away) . A neighbor gave me a couple stones many years ago and they are odd shaped almost like bones. If you wanna see them or go up on the east face of Overlook to look for coal deposits in late fall let me know. Some cool features up there as well as the native Lenape stone mounds and walls they made.always,farmer john

If you see this that tree fossil that got discovered a year or two ago in cario I've seen it irl

Yay, more geo goodness! :D What a fascinating location!

This is such interesting topic! 🤓, I love the way Geology and Botany are connect and how you explain it.

Awesome. Thanks. I’ve been watching natural history videos lately, and this just the kind of subject I was looking for. Pretty cool fact about the catskills. I didn’t know that.

Love this!

Great Input! Thank you very much!

Love your videos. Keep up the good work and hope to see more. Have a good one!

Amazing! A really informative, enjoyable lesson. Thanks.

Nice job! Been to Gilboa too many times to count and had no idea! Thank you! FYI, autumn is awesome upstate (also live in the area)

Excellent job -- thanks.

Loved your video.

Great video Beck!

Wow, so cool...learned a lot, thank you! :)

This is so amazing! Thanks for the history, the science and the explanation! And most of all - thank you for enlightening me as to how to pronounce "Giilboa"! I didn't know if it was a "soft G" (like Jill-boa), or a "hard G" Ilike Gill-boa)!

I love you ❤️ maybe someday we’ll go rock collecting, but I’m in Ontario so it might be some time till our worlds collide

Absolutely awesome. I have so many more questions - like why did the Taconic's streams flow westward not eastward to create the Catskill Plateau? There was no plateau east of the Taconics? And many more questions. Thanks so much for doing this - do you take a small group for a half day - day - around Hudson Valley on tour for $400 or something? Thanks!

The only bad thing about fall is that winter is around the corner 😂 especially here in Michigan

This rules!

Very interesting, thanks :-)

Though the video quality is very amateur, the content itself made me watch this whole video until the end… My kind of science content… I also live about an hour away…

Some say those mountains are the bodies of giants from long ago. Just saying that matter used to be organic matter. Transformed via extreme heat and extreme cold.

I live in castkills I live in upstate ny on 60 Beautiful acres a few years a go i had a logger come in to thin out the trees well now I cry all atime how he destroyed my wonderful enchanted forest..his business card said he didn't leave a mess like the rest so wrong..Im 63 widow and Have tried to post on local fb groups anyone who was interested in free fire wood but as usual people would come by once or twice and that would be it..if I could find a person or group of people who can help me get my beautiful woods back into shape if you all want to camp out what ever please I really need help S.O.S

Truffala trees!

The Catskills aren't quite upstate Beck 🤭❤

They’re north of Yonkers 🌊🏄‍♀️

Mou’ins lol

Moun-in? Really? I thought southerners pronounced their words, oddly.

Why don't you pronounce the "t" in mountain and other words with a t in the middle of the word? It seems to be a "young women" thing and not a regional or nationality thing. It's not because their parents did it. I rarely ever hear men talk that way.
