    Somehow the text got lost in post production and it’s bugging me- the smaller Reese’s cup shaped fossils (3:45 and 12:45) are Brachiopods 🐚 💫

      It's always good to have a faithfull companion,...my dog when I was a kid, looked a lot like yours. Australian Shepard, and Border Collie. That dog, absolutely had to go everywhere that I went. On a dirt bike, everywhere that I went. He got strong, and he found short cuts to keep up. We might stop for a break up on top of the hill,...pretty soon the Ole dog would show up panting hard, and soaking wet. He found a spring on his short cut,...good dog. We tried to lock him in the shop once because we were afraid that we were running him to death, but he nearly ate the door off trying to get out. So from then on, he went everywhere. Love your channel, and your curiosity, keep it up.

    USA landscape is amazing. Your recordings shows a landscape that is so different from the landscapes that I've grown up with(North of Norway). The closest thing we -might- have to a desert is the Varangerhalvøya. Where there are traces of humans dating back several thousand years, 11000-12000 years being the oldest trace(sami people).
    Very fascinating to learn about the fossils several km from the sea.
    I'm glad us humans doesn't know everything about all that we see/discover(pyramids, petra, wonders of the world etc) I sincerely think that's the only thing that will save the human race in the end.
    Glad to see your true friend again. How do you spell his name?

      This would have been underwater up to 100 million years ago. The beachline would have been to the East about
      where Arizona meets California today. The beachline moved back and forth until 35 million years ago.The land
      rose up after that time all the way to San Diego permanently with sandstone erosion taking place here. There
      may not be any land based dinosaur fossils here as they went extinct 67 million years ago but it is possible to
      find many marine fossils in the rock although this area was clearly not conducive to prehistoric reptile fossil
      retention. They did find some hadrosaur fossilized remains near San Diego but consider that find very rare.

    With the possibility that the pictographs were representations of large-scale plasma discharge seen in the sky by ancient people, I'd be curious to know which cardinal direction they would have been facing when they drew the pictographs (presumably hiding from the discharge under the rocks). Would you be willing to include some of this information next time you find some?

    The geology here is very interesting. You can see how the lighter strata survived erosion and once it was exposed fell in to its current position… at least that’s my theory. Much for the strata around this area seems to be tilted / folded and generally disorganised by the major faulting in the locality. Love the shallow seas geology/biology …. spent a summer in Kentucky digging trilobites and crinoids out of a relatives back garden..

  • @RobYoung-x7r
    @RobYoung-x7r 14 годин тому +2

    Glad that you mention the brachiopods. Had you not, I would have. A comment about the lack of geologist discussion is based in part because pov does not give us the location. There would be mapping and papers already describing the area. No need for discussion. No need to re-invent the wheel. But of course, we are not told where this is. Speculation makes for more viewer engagement and more cash.

    I love your perspective, Nolan. I’m so glad you don’t include music and instead, capture the sounds of nature.
    The drone footage is breathtaking and priceless. It reminds me of the reoccurring dreams about effortlessly lifting off the ground and flying that I’ve had thousands of times over my lifetime.
    Your drone seems to be silent and able to capture the natural noises of the landscape, including things like your own footsteps and the panting of your dog, and other wildlife, such as birds and insects.
    I am also so grateful that you encourage people to be good stewards of the planet, and you demonstrate that with your own behavior. This cradle God made for us is breathtakingly beautiful, and He gave us this treasure to thrive and to enjoy, charging us to respect and care for the gifts.
    The purity of your style is impeccable and even if I were physically able, I cannot imagine mustering the intestinal fortitude to go to the places that you go alone. You are a modern-day Daniel Boone and Jebediah Smith.
    May the Lord bless you with many, healthy, happy, safe adventures.

    Thanks again. My adult daughter was visiting and while in the other room i heard her ask her mother "why does he keep saying WOW? To which her mother replied He's probably watching the POV channel"

    I know enough geography, and there were enough hints, and I found the location. Took me a while. I think there was some mild misdirection that I appreciate. Perfect level of clues. Great puzzle. Thank you sir!
