Yes, it’s pretty dramatic. Amazing how quickly things can erode when they’re very soft and loose - it was as if the area was buried with sawdust.

Do you know anything about the coal / peet deposits on the cliffs between point wilson and north beach? They are closer to point wilson in an area that is impassable at high tide.
@BetterGeology17 күн бұрын
I don’t think I’ve seen those specifically, but there are a good number of similar deposits around North Beach. Hard to say exactly what the cause is, but I think some of it is due to uplift caused by rebound after the glacier melted. Some parts of the Salish Sea area are rising by nearly a centimeter per year even 15,000 years later!

This was wonderful. I saw some old photos of PT where they were cutting into the "wall" to make the downtown fill. As a resident, I'm really concerned about it all turning to jelly in case of an earthquake. To say nothing of the bluffs coming down as well. There are now some very real concerns about bluffs on the entry to the old downtown having slides. Apparently there's a huge difference between where the bluffs approaching downtown were in 1982 when they filmed "An Officer and a Gentleman" here in PT and where these bluffs are now. I don't know if you're local, but if you are, and if you see that movie and can make a judgment on the loud of the bluffs, I'd be really interested in what you have to say.

@BetterGeology -"While the Bruneau-Jarbidge Caldera is part of the Yellowstone Hotspot, the Crooked River Caldera is not and predates the Yellowstone Hotspot’s first appearance by approximately 12 million years. The magma sources are different as well, and there are numerous geochemical differences between the two." The CR Caldera does predate the B-J Caldera by 17-19MA, but that doesn't disprove that CR isn't a YHS ignimbrite any more than the B-R being 10-12MA older than the current YHS ignimbrite location in Wyoming. Magma source geochemical signatures will be different due to the changes in crustal strata the magma chamber occupies. If the 29.5MA CR Caldera location were inferred by averaging the known distances of the previous 8 YHS ignimbrites, and the last known calderas in Nevada- Virgin Valley, High Rock, Hog Ranch, and unnamed calderas; West of the Pine Forest Range, Nevada; 15.5 to 16.5 Ma., the CR Caldera would be from the location the @NE bank of the Upper Alkali Lake, CA. now occupies; It's silica source would be Sierra batholith related plutons, thus a much different geochem signature from the later ignimbrites to the Northeast.

All true. I don’t think I talked about Yellowstone at all in this video except as a comparison for eruption style, though. A number of years ago, not too long after I made this video, I tried to drum up interest in a study of the geochemical zoning of the Crooked River ignimbrite since it changes color, texture, and presumably composition across its thickness.

Actually, it's very well-known what's beyond the sign at the end of the cave. I've crawled down to the very end of it myself. About 100 years ago for several months a couple local guys dug out the end and created the ditch and tailings you see through the sand. They got about 400 feet when they discovered the ceiling came down to meet the floor, which meant the end of the cave. Look, you gotta know that if there were any more to that cave it would be well-dug out and well-known. Not only has this been a tourist cave for a century or so, but this part of Oregon is crawling with cave moles like myself that don't let any leads go unexplored. . . Great video, otherwise!
