What our FOSSILS & FOREST Reveal! - Ep. 024

- One of the exercises we're doing in order to appreciate and understand the land that we are stewarding-is piecing together its long history....not just from a cultural perspective-but also from a geologic perspective.
We know the Finger Lakes has an interesting and rich geological history-especially after unearthing quite a bit of fossils in the forest and in our garden beds, but being that none of us are geologists, we reached out to Ithaca's @PaleontologicalResearchInstitution to see who might be able to walk the land with us and tell us more about how the land came to be-from its topography to its soils.
Geologist Alexandra Moore took up the task and we're thankful for that because we learned quite a bit walking the land with her!

Imagine all the miles Saunder has had to walk backwards filming! I am not well educated and some of the vocabulary used had me thinking, guessing, but overall I enjoyed this brief glimpse of the history, topography of our planet.💚🙃
Absolutely! Keeps Sander agile and he's evolving eyes in the back of his head now!
What a lovely introduction to geology. Thanks for your expertise, Alexandra! :) I'll definitely be visiting the PRI channel soon!
This reminds me of growing up in southern Indiana…hills, hardwood forests, and fossils in every creek bed. Hikes in the early spring were rewarded with a beautiful display of wildflowers.😍
I think that is just about one of the most informative walk around any woods ever! There is such a history there Summer. It sparks off so many ideas and other questions, and your expert geologist guest puts the here & now of the land into the most amazing perspective.
Thank you. Such a fascinating and beautiful piece of land. At my home in Orange County N.Y. we have huge glacial boulders, large enough for an adult to lie down on, that are smooth as glass and truly magnificent. They must have travelled very far.
Finland's topography is full of glacial influence of the last ice age we experienced and this was so interesting seeing something like this on your side of the globe. Thoroughly enjoyed this one, thank you!
Hi Summer: This is Lee from Roanoke, VA. I haven’t thanked you yet for allowing us into part of your life, so, thank you very much. It has been a pleasure to be with you on each episode of Brooklyn and Flock. Your channels are very educational and of course your viewers benefit from the trips you make to different growers through out the world. One program that I really enjoyed was the ash basket making man WOW! OMG, who knew you loved to beat the primitive drum. 😁
Thanks. I love Earth Science due to it's crystal ball perspective. The history part about soldiers being paid in land is also something to ponder. Fossils are photos of the past. Love all that stuff even being in the woods and the butterfly. Wow, please share old homestead finds if you discover any.
We'll have more on the land's recent history as told by one of our elders in the next episode ... Glad you appreciated the geologic science of this one!
This episode was wholesome. I'm so looking forward to watching you all learn more about your land!
Thank you Summer and Saunder! I really appreciate this episode...so much history and geology. Both favorite subjects of mine. I love fossils! Many thanks to Alexandra for sharing her expertise 😊
Glad you enjoyed Nancy. Thanks for watching this episode :)
This was very special..thanks so much for inviting us. 😊
I *LOVE* Alexandra and everything she told us re history of land use of the area, geology etc.
Top video!
Ahh this is fun! I am defending my geology/paleontology phd dissertation in 11 days.
Wow, best of luck to you!
@@FlockFingerLakes Thank you =]
This is very educational..I'm lovin' every second of this video and all the info shared by the geologist
Very glad you found it elucidating!
Fascinating stuff, with great questions from Summer and great answers from Alex!
Very interesting. I ❤ learning ! Thank you.
Loving the channel and content and people more and more. Thank you 😊✌🏼❤️
I love this channel❤️
Thanks for giving us some love!
That was so cool. My favorite video so far.
From Permaculture to Houseplants Brooklyn then Singapore I am transported to upstate NY and then a time machine takes me to the Devonian period. Fascinating!
We like to keep it fresh! Glad you enjoy the space and time travel :)
Hi Flock thank you for this content. I hope I can visit this place. Love from the Philippines ❤️❤️❤️
That was SO INTERESTING! WoW
Wow, she knows so much! How interesting!
So very interesting video! Love it ❤️
I love this episode and love learning about all of this. Thank you Flock crew!
You're most welcome.
Thank u for taking the time w the vedios and sharing y'all's adventure w us
I love this ..
such a beautiful episode!
That was so interesting. I love your forest. I could walk around in there all day. Beautiful.
i cant believe how many of these video's didn't show up in my sub box. This is why we ring that BELL.
Awesome! Thank you 😊
Great episode. When my kids were young we went to Ithaca for a little camping vacation, and the first day it rained. We went to the PRI, where my fifth and fourth graders got a great education. The fella there for the tour told us about fossil hunting, and we went to Cornell to hang out in the creeks on campus fossil hunting when the skies cleared. To them it was an expedition on the grounds of Hogwarts. That was the rainy day in Ithaca. I love this region.
Glad you have some familiarity with the region and such a great experience too! For you and the kids!
Wow never thought geology could be so interesting.
And I am learning a lot of geology. Very informative vid.
This video rocks.. literally. So much information about this areas history.. so when she said, finger lakes are below the sea level, does it mean they are deeper than sea?
That’s awesome! I find fossilized shells (brachiopods) and crystals in my area all the time.
Very educational segment thank you.
Glad you found it educational! That's what we like here. "Always learning!"
Fascinating and what a great way to learn about your land❤
Love this episode and many thanks to Alexandra for your expertise. More please!
Glad you enjoyed.
Excellent!😍
Loved this!
I really enjoyed this episode
Really interesting walk. I remember we used to go fossil hunting when I was a child.
This is invigorating❤️
This was so fun and informative!
Thanks for enjoying the walk-and-talk with us!
Thank you for the walk and talk in your beautiful forest - it was very interesting! 🙏😊
Glad you enjoyed it
@@FlockFingerLakes I did very much ❤️
So interesting thanks!
I really did learn a lot. Never did i realise that i was so interested in geology 😳
We learned a lot ourselves!
Very neat love your property
wait, so was the harpers' ferry mountain pass with the potomac river carved by a glacier? there are some pretty steep cliffs there unlike the rest of the valley, almost like a dam breaking.
Possibly! I would look into it more. We had no idea with the V-shape vs. U-Shape.
That was fun!
That was grouse , Thankyou
Does she travel? What a joy to walk through the woods with such an incredible woman. Oh, please let us know if you find any lilacs or apple trees.
We have definitely found lilac and apples, but they aren't that old, so we surmise this land wasn't really "settled", though a neighbor reports that one of the oldest houses (circa late 1700s) used to be on this land close to the road, but we're not certain if someone lived there or not-and we can't actually confirm that either. We did, however, find a map from the 1800s outlining who had 'ownership' of the land after the Revolutionary War, so we're continuing to look for other files to corroborate that. The Finger Lakes area here is generally known as both Gayogoho:no'h (Cayuga) and Seneca territory, but the settlements ~200 years ago were mostly found around the lakes. After speaking with a local anthropologist, this was not known to be an area that was settled by the Native peoples due to the fact that its hilly, craggy, and compared to the surrounding, low-lying areas-not as fertile. At most, it may have been hunting grounds. We'll keep on probing and seeing what we turn up with. And we'll share more of that complicated history of the area in the next video compliments of one of our elders here.
Cool xx
wish i could have some expert walk around the local area with me lol, i've always had a love for geology, even before i loved plants. though tbh first thing i'd ask is why there's a norway maple near me with leaves over a foot across
If you're in the states, you can often find extension agents whose job it is to walk with you to understand your land, so it's worth looking into. We're definitely taking advantage of those opportunities. But also, connections to Summer Rayne's past professors and contacts at the university are also useful.
Great episode, but where did you get that shirt (more meadow, less lawn)? If Doug Tallamy had a shop...
haha it's on www.flockfingerlakes.com/shop
So i got a new app thanks for i naturalist
You're welcome. It's so useful!
The reason for the season
Around 8 minutes what was the gun shot/pounding like sounds?
probably someone doing target practice. We are in the country.
I get it now, you chose upstate new york because once climate change kicks in full gear, you will be in the Devonian tropics all over. No need for greenhouse. :-) That is what I call planning.
i find fossils and shark teeth in my creek in Southern maryland!!
Did she say "get the deer out"?
Are you going to give back or share the land with Natives ?
