    When you mispronounce the name of the mountains 5 seconds into the video it lets those of us from that area know that you don’t know shit.

    Drove from Denver to Laramie to Ogden To Twin Falls to Ellensburg to Seattle and admired all the wonderful geology along the way…explains to my daughter about the inland sea and layers of mudstones and orange San stones on our drive. In particular the Green River area on I-80. I was able to convey what I learned from you to her. She was amazed!!!!

    Petrolium in specific areas could have an influence to chemically gather minerals or clays into packets that could slowly evolve into sphere shapes. The present’s of salts like calcite’s can also erode out with natures solvent, H2o, specific minerals. All this can happen in a relative short period of time. I am a believer in creation science and that this planet went through a short metamorphic change when God destroyed it with a flood. My perspective and faith supports my observations. I enjoy your open minded deductions.

    Detrimental to our knowledge and progress as a society, mainstream academics take way too long to consider new evidence and, most of the time, don't even want to look at it and straight out dismiss it. Truly sad.

    I'm a geologist working in industry and recently moved to Western NC. I absolutely loved this explanation! I have been looking for a good starting point to give me some footing on the orogenic evolution of this area, and this was perfect. I was reading a paper recently about some Permian eolian deposits in Wyoming that had detrital zircons that placed the sediment source as coming all the way from Appalachia, not the ancestral Rockies as had been the previous prediction. Absolutely amazing stuff.

    Maybe you could make a more technical video on geological coordinates systems, it's a bit complicated to understand what's the difference between a moving spot or a fix spot when most of our laypeople way of thinking is with coordinates systems attached to the tectonic plates.

    This neatly explains the strange "river-channels" which extend far out into the ocean from the south-west coast of Ireland. The ones near the shallow shore might be explained by actual ancient river-beds (You could walk from Ireland to Continental Europe up to about 10,000 years ago during the Ice Age) but the "river-beds" extend hundreds of kilometers, all the way out to the Continental Shelf edge, and seem to "plunge over" the Shelf into the Abyssal Plain many Kilometers deep. Thank you for explaining this long standing mystery Myron. It has puzzled me for years.

    Why are those channels so tightly curved? Some of the bends look more like they were stretched further apart previously and were squeezed in at one point.

    So cool Myron. I guess I'm getting to be a fan. I've gotten so used to Nick Z there on the Columbia over the last couple of years. He's a teacher you know. And so, here you are teaching. Wow. Just great! Thanks so much for all of this. Sure, I can see all of this, every morning with my coffee, not worthy, from New Hampshire. 👍

    So Myron, In the medical world there is a word ~ etiology ~ for me, means how something develops, I guess over time. Kind of like defining the source or how it (the medical condition) began. So here I just think of Time. Always with geology, it's a million years here and a million years there. Then there is where the Oceans were. and for some, where the Glaciers were. So the other variable that I don't see is just plain elevation. Just the up and down of land mass. Of course there are dramatic "folds" of the "layers" and you are the erosion guy ~Thank you so much for your insight ~ But I absolutely see the Hudson Bay connected to the Gulf of Mexico but does the Earth, as a globe just sometimes push up and down? The "etiology" there Myron. It's time travel. Wow.

    The only thing that surprises me is that the water from the river, being fresh, sinks to the bottom; isn't salt water denser? Only thing I can think of is that the river water is a dense slurry due to the sediments in it. Thoughts?

    I love your channel. I’m 67 now but when I was in my 20s, I was a geology major. I dropped out of college because my wife and I got pregnant. We needed the money for the baby I was already and X-Ray tech so I never went back. I regret it. I love to pick up rocks and remember what they are and what they’re made of. I think your channel is so cool.

    Wow. Fascinating. I live in Billings Montana and the entire city is Ringed by massive Sandstone cliffs from this seaway. I’ve found Amonites in the shale hills. Always been fascinated by this seaway. Please do more videos on it. Was sedimentation the sole reason it went away? Or was there crust lift?
