Very interesting, and so unusual, thank you.
You are welcome and so happy that you enjoyed it.
Great geology lesson. Love it when I watch your videos and take a way a bit of knowledge! Keep up the good work!
Thank you. Glad you learned something new. And thanks for the support. I really enjoyed making this one.
Great way to start my day. Thank you.
Thanks so much. Hope you are warming up in the north! Great to hear from you as always!
Thanks for the post. Loves I was trying to say when interrupted by a commercial, I love the Earth Time logo. That would make a cool tattoo.
Thank you. A good friend of mine designed it. Maybe I will get it for a tattoo once I hit a major milestone. Thanks for the kind words and the comment. Glad you enjoyed the episode.
$65,000 in 1896 is worth $2.4 million today.
Thanks for giving a geology lesson us lay people can understand.
Thank you for the additional info. I appreciate the conversion. I am so glad you enjoyed the video and learned about the geology at Calico.
Calico is worth a visit if transiting freeway between Barstow and Las Vegas, especially if it isn’t a really hot day. Fun and educational for family.
It is such a great place! Thanks for the comment and for the suggestion to the viewers!
A car wreck, in this case the car ran into a Volcano, crumpled the fender. Thank you, good job, stay safe ALL
Thanks. I like the car wreck analogy. Glad you enjoyed the episode.
In the 1960's, I was a geology student (San Diego State). We spent a lot of time in the Calico Hills including for plane table mapping. We camped inside the mine adits in Odessa Canyon.
Thank you for sharing your story. So cool you camped in the adits. Glad you enjoyed the episode.
I've been to Calico before, amazing place.
I really love it there. Thanks for the comment.
01:00: I've been impressed with that cross-section every time I visited.

Here is my episode on the town.
Great teaching. Excellent presentation. Thank you for making this video. Learned a lot.
Wow. Thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed it and that you learned a lot. Appreciate the comment and kind words.
thank you for the detail - there are nerds out here who did not go to college for geology, but have gotten interested in it, and really do want to know the details of the geological history in places that they visit.
There's supposed to be an area a few miles away where fossil insects have been crystallized in the lake deposits. probably looking something like "lacustrine fossil spiders"" calico Ghost Town" will turn up webpages and photos. I haven't gone fossil hunting as it's off-road vehicles only and I'm still looking to trade in a Prius for a RAV4.
I started camping here in 2021 whenever I went to visit my parents on the other side of the desert; self isolation for sure! But I picked this campground specifically because of that amazing geological feature; I wanted to see it for myself
Thank you so much for sharing. I will look up the insect site. I grew up camping at Calico and it is still one of my favorite places! Keep exploring the world of geology! It is an exciting one. Also any geology subject you would want to learn more about?
Can you confirm for me when that ancient lakebed would have been (years?). My favorite place! Used to be a gunfighter there for the bus tours. The geology blows my mind! Great video! Glad I stumbled upon it.
The Calico Member of the Barstow Formation is between 17-19 million years old.
Here is the link to a paper about it. watermark.silverchair.com/i1553-040X-4-3-459.pdf?token=AQECAHi208BE49Ooan9kkhW_Ercy7Dm3ZL_9Cf3qfKAc485ysgAAAykwggMlBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagggMWMIIDEgIBADCCAwsGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQMXC_flDp46S7Y36JvAgEQgIIC3MgdFEE8TY3trCmVDcnpnYkFzLud00H7oOBZ96lQI17a9tzX7-WaBvhiFZneDptZRT63j8SdnIP7ygmyX4WX4DUU8T5jfaLzE2_nw5qL4hHPKq_uX6ObWZttMmfE0khQMEzmymgpBN0QY05iQFAnPLQMdpkjh7j5l3C5jdalhept8Dn8srI9nDRIp5w_xHjVW1jgsxIGXSQK4Wm8Htq6hZJaEJLZVQnTjOEOldmCZtx6Q7nbS7TuUOcZj6fBHa1oUYj8IKZH2Zc2er81oE-m8qjUvu-EiZ3nycBRMnGKbAaHz662Rhv4DwDxM9aIznos40PM96mW2SHi3c1CgVy2gM3HcAsvghW36cUI1I8TL__o7fSxpDL1olwN0pvQ-R0p_3cjG3Tym6skgvpVcMDyAHWGwIWPoFQ8DCHjCR_O_4fH_CkqIj65xaTULvzAwVYr2BZFoapfAjhLMf5nXw5y1L-ASz6UBpMa7mvrYGBYGafTviuTd34AHys2Mdojt0RLFbxh4sS0Nkm6LnxVldTfo6sd63zJdhH3D2_sWjOk4UpXzYxaHVZCAxJ5wLgNNnWYq6-nS_HCE6SB7PV1nIqZ_db4XdRFk27ZdXD2zOylEro6eg64hW-Hnybfnonwn-hfEf3Gcnif1HfYvLk8Q95-OoK4sknn-zO4ht09ng0IVkYHtg6sfD2d0N3N3RpjimfFr7mUv8hDqtaPEbeCPI3qsSNsbfwSfoqc-RcHnB5Oz-cm92MEDgpZd4rRt7IjM92w1uwPBn7d8Zf_Hfu73G-0NmEqzQr3fEAcAK4NIZ_gAHfRdcZaU89Pgg7pp7MYgxsDsPPT0fQuNprahM_NXXQwyhDfhdYU4_rA6SshpaiCaBlBlrjSsMyj51VkNoYzBReo5G2cuA-Al63t3kThzu8FV_7JJ7O5jutsrIX4K6aXyjfmg3sxz4n_e-pp_Z8hojGZNgTy75YrWb2G0f-wQg
I worked there also. I gave gold panning lessons. In case you did t see my video about the town.

The tailings piles still contain a lot of recoverable silver.
I wondered how much would be left in the tailings. I imagine it is an arduous process to get the rest out though and expensive. Appreciate you sharing.
Put a windscreen on your mike. The wind noise mutes your voice.
Thank you. I will work on that.
Was that ridgeside cut when Knotts put the parking lot and access road in?
I remember seeing the outcrop in some old photos and they is a canyon through that area. So I think it was pre - Knotts. Thanks for the question and glad you enjoyed.
Sound goes in and out when you're in the field you need better soon control
It is hard when it is windy. I appreciate the advice. Working in a solution!
That was caused by Noas flood
Can’t tell if you are joking or not. The faults in this area are well documented and we understand the mechanism that caused the folds. Now the Barstow Formation is composed of a series of lake deposits and were deposited by water about 17-19 million years ago. Thank you for leaving a comment.

@@nlormanstuckman7408 it depends on the rock types. These are alternating sandstone and mudstone layers. The mudstone allows for the buckling. This has been well studied and modeled. It is quite fascinating actually. Check out some of the papers on it. Thanks again for the comment.
