thanks for doing what you do. your videos are awesome in so many ways and help me when i miss being in utah on the trails. this one is particularly good. you are a really cool dude
8:50 Like a cathedral, sacred even. Don't forget to watch out for the crypto :- ) Thanks for helping answer some questions I've pondered during my few trips up to Cedar Mesa, and down into John's Canyon, now that road would make for some great videos. Congrats, your's are the first good UA-cam substantive geology videos on Utah and the Colorado Basin I've seen. Though I'm hoping to discover more. We need more of you geologists and enthusiasts who can tell a good geo. story in front of the camera. Are you familiar with Nick Zenter of Washington state geology fame?
Your last video on arches led me to add it to my list of places I’m visiting on a road trip I’ll by one for the next two weeks. I live in Indiana and this is going to be the farthest west I’ve ever been
Would the change between dry and wet periods be an indication of a monsoon season or are these wet/dry period longer in time between those events?Another question how long ago did the rivers exist that carved out the bridges?
The time periods that laid down these rocks is much longer than seasonal. Likely was dramatic climatic shifting. He failed to mention that the largest extinction ever, that eliminated 90% of life on earth, happened toward the end of when these rocks were being laid down. The extinction clearly involved drastic climate changes. Rocks were laid down about 260-250 million years ago. Rivers that cut the arches and canyons down through the rocks are much more recent, probably within the last 10 million years or less after the Colorado Plateau was elevated more that a mile high. Great questions!
Thanks for pointing out the limitations of the BLM. There are many examples of the failure of preservation by BLM in Utah, like Fantasy Canyon near Vernal and recently Factory Butte in Hanksville. Once those places are damaged, there's no way to repair them.
Smith's spectacular space I recommend taking as many science classes as you can in school and read books about dinosaurs, evolution, geology, biology, and zoology. Get outside as well and go for hikes, try to identify the animals and plants that you see using a guide book.
I'm sorry, but your political discussion is a joke. Park Service has no money either. All our nature agencies have been gutted. That started in the Reagan Era. And no matter what kinds of legal "protection" status is involved, these places are routinely and professionally looted. FYI... Kivas are also ceremonial temples. Strange you so carefully avoided mentioning their most important spiritual significance.
Glad I found your channel, you do a great job explaining the formations and features. Thanks!
Beautiful video Dr. Burger. I enjoy seeing how happy you are loving your work and calling in life. Thank you for the education.
The quality of your videos just keeps going up. This one is just fantastic
Dude! Your videos are so relaxing and interesting. I'm geology undergraduate New Zealand and these videos are so inspiring. Thanks a bunch!!
Your videos are so educational! Thank you! I’ve learned so much through you

I watched this video just a little to late I was just visiting this place about a week ago and had no idea about the all the trace fossils.
Keep up the good work! This is why I love living in SW Colorado so much.
One of the most wonderful places in the US, thx for the presentation-
Enjoyed this a lot - thank you very much for sharing your passion with this!
donated a small sum to your organization, keep up the stellar videos.. greetings from finland! :)
Thanks, Benjamin!
I discovered your channel recently. Nice videos

Um I'm going into the seventh grade what can I do to prepare to be a paleontologist

Whoever watches these videos is an educated, delightful human. Like Benjamin Button here.
Why you no trending!
Definitely the sort of place you want to visit with a paleontologist.
EPA now means Environmental Profiting Agency.
BLM means Bureau of Land Monetisation.
Bureau of Livestock Mismanagement-
BLM=Bureau of Limited Mentality
