- In this episode of Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't we take you back to the Great Basin of central Nevada to explore the high dry desert and the extensional tectonics, hot springs, and salt marshes that make it the beautiful and fascinating place that it is.
Just what the shit is a plant like #Hecastocleis shockleyi doing with its flower structure? How stupid was it to lump #Dodecatheon (the shooting stars) in with Primula? And why are American Coots so afraid of being loved?

Thanks, GFY.
Thanks, I needed this! Feeling less homicidal already.
From someone who creates plants and environments for video games these videos are pure gold. Thank you.
I can to say, but I've never been so interested in botany and geology, until watching your channel.
Just picked up a couple books and checking them out 👍
Thanks.
🙏
Holy Shit you've been busy. Definitely appriciate all the vids comin out. A little ray of sunshine in an otherwise dismal recommended videos list. Keep up the good work bud.
I was jonesin hard there got a few weeks but he was in the field, doing the lords work, now the uploads are overwhelming. It’s great
“That crackhead on 18st to clean you again “ had me dying
8:58 what's all the small flashes? Rain? Reminds me of radiation on film.
Going to pretend he was not referencing his car but cleaning the dog? What is this, kindergarten story time? We can make up whatever we want now?
Da guys names Eddie
I see you use snapseed to make your thumbnails :)
@@felixhb12 same, I was thinking what the hell is he walking on, it looks like radiation damage and only happening when he was looking at the red debris rocks, then he mentioned it drizzling lol. Awesome fella to watch.
Videos lookin so good now!
Same as they always have right?
@@Beofware noo he must've gotten a new camera as he only recorded in 1080 in previous videos
Thankyou very much. Going through a difficult time, making it, but now that I got everything done today watching this really helps unwind. It means a lot man.
Thanks for taking me out to the desert, it's great to see plants evolved to a totally different habitat than what we have here in the UK
Here in the Jersey that’s New It rains a bit it’s true The crust that you see is pizza 🍕 Napoli And suburban disenchantment deserts too
I just recently found this channel and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Two of my biggest interests - botany and geology, presented in an engaging and entertaining way. Thank you.
So to correctly understand the botany, you first need to understand the whys/wherefores of the geology. To understand the geology you first need some basic chemistry knowledge, silicon, lithium, iron, . . . This video really brings that out.
This is why my favorite geology field trips during my master's program were the ones where a retired botany professor joined in auditing the course for fun. I'd point out the differences in the rocks and terrain. She'd point out the botanical differences. We'd connect the two. It was a blast.
Absolutely. This kind of knowledge is also really really helpful for growing "difficult" groups of plants.
Wuttd thee shi...
The Shooting Stars grow thick in ditches and along the Alaska Hwy in Spring, one of my favorites
Dodecatheon!!
@@unluckyneighbor4063 thank you
Thanks for the stroll, i sure needed the exercise.
This fricken guy knows every damn plant he bumps into.
Here in ne nevada. Cool to see it through your eyes 👍
I always appreciate the things I learn from these videos, especially the knowledge that Louie thinks about fuzzy handcuffs. I needed that today
Andd Louie de Palmer ?? Joking.
Oh my GAHD you're spoilin us! Please continue, you're videos give me hope with a nice salty healthy dose of the reality no one wants to pay attention to. Love it, again I'd love if you could do a video up here in new england one day, massachusetts has some interesting stuff left, that has survived the decimation of the colonial era.
Thank you Joey, appreciate the scenery, geology and flowers. I love these kinds of deserts.
Just found your channel, I love your personality and the way you talk. Subscribed! I live in Vegas and always think the wilderness here sucks and it's all shrub brush shit, but your video gave me more of an appreciation for it 👍
I know of a wilderness of a town that sucks located between highway 62 and the western end of county road of Amboy . It is more barren than by Vegas . But it's in southern CA . Directly far east of LA .
Gorgeous Pliocene volcanics. In Esmeralda county, more related to the stretching of Nevada than subduction of Farallon. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us.
This volcanism reportedly preceded crustal extension, and is likely tied to Farallon subduction (Oligocene/Early Miocene). It's part of the Bates Mountain Tuff if you wanna look into it. If I'm wrong, correct me and post a link if you can it'd be good to learn more
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt Yeah, I just guessed. I'm not sure where you were -- on the geologic map of Magruder Mtn Quad (McKee, 1968, USGS Bulletin 1251-H) in western Esmeralda County, the young volcanics are Quaternary and Pliocene basalts and tuffs, so I guessed that's what you were seeing. The references to Bates Mountain Tuff I found (e.g., Sergeant & McKee, 1969, USGS Bulletin 1294-E) have it cropping out in northern Nye County, not Esmeralda. But I am no Nevada geology expert, and again, I don't know where you were in this video. But more importantly, thank you so much for your videos! My usual attitude about plants is that they are the crap blocking my view of the rocks. Your effusive, joyous ejaculations about inflorescences and sepals and tubercles has started to broaden my mind. So, yeah, thank you.
@@metamorphiczeolite thanks a lot for the kind words!
I want to thank you, Mr. Santore, for getting me interested in the real world. Got myself a list of books I'm checking out so I can learn something about the land around me. Thank you.
Thank you for the beautiful Sunday treat.
Tony thank you so much I am a person of constant learning I never want to stop until the day I stop thank you so much
Since it seems youre in the SW, If you can make it, I was thinking it would be cool to see you head out to the Salton Sea area. There's a crazy difference between the desert, and as you move into the mountains overlooking the Salton Sea. They call it the Palm's to Pines Highway. From a negative sea level (from the the Salton Sea) to close to 8000 feet at Toro Peak, there is a lot of biodiversity, and its all accessible within a few hours drive from each other.
I'd love to see you hit the House Range and Sevier Lake area between Ely and Delta. Great content always! Thanks!
Holy smoke!!!! Another human being who has to stop and look at every plant!!!! I thought I was the only one!!!!
31:48 Black-throated Sparrow. Nice.
Muchlove man I've watched every episode in last 6 months. This ones great. I really appreciate your devotion to sharing your knowledge.
I am so fucking grateful that one of your videos came up in my recommended videos. I enjoy these so goddamn much, and
absolutely love all the cool info I get to learn!
Father-in-law lives in Dyer.. I love benefiting from the geothermal’s out in the area ..last month,coots joined my morning soak than balls of old man
Absolutely love the Nevada videos thank you!!
I agree wholeheartedly with the philosophies exposed on this channel. Human tumour, leprechaun shit, etc.. Thanks for sharing. I really hope Nevada doesn't get blown out as you predict...
One of my most favorite places on Earth. Nice to see it through someone else's eye.
LOVE the Farallon glitter sparkling in tha air…
would be cool if you made a playlist of all your geology-heavy vids.
Love your channel new friend 😁
Is that a metric scale tattoo on your middle finger? Love it! By far the most useful tattoo, both in terms of measuring shit and if you ever need an excuse after flipping someone off 🤣
That's how you check that the bartender isn't shorting you.
There I was, thinkin about the fuzzy handcuffs in my car, and BAM a fresh upload from my favorite botany boy. Hell yeah
I'm so glad I stumbled across this video. This is packed with knowledge and so interesting
The difference between primrose and evening primrose?
-Your chances.
Such a gorgeous place. Thanks!
26:01 little spider is like "O GOD AN EARTHQUAKE!"
Desert plants so beautiful
Wow that Castillaja is georgeous!
Lol, that was awesome! “More interesting then staring at bread, high.” & “Standing out like fuzzy handcuffs.” Thanks 🙏 so much. Drizzling rain, & the red pumice landscape money shotz looks great, high. Cheers, from Southern Oregon
In Alabama if it's raining while sunny, people say the devil is beating his wife. Don't ask me why
Not rain, glittering reflections from the minerals in the red rocks.
"In Alabama..."
Me: 'Nuff said.
Wot
It's the thunder that they say that about.
I love your videos. Lol! You’re so great.
Some stunners, even out there in the desert
Please continue on making these videos ! You are so funny and at the same time so very informative !!!! Thank you. I appreciate you .
Fascinating stuff, as always.
Cladograms are just fine with me, they make everything easier to understand kiddo, never be afraid to go deep
I watched your vid on botany books/resources you recommend. I enjoy your commentary on geology just as much as the plants. Curious if you’d consider making a vid showing us your favorite geology books/resources? Love your channel! It’s awesome.
I love when you say entire sentences that I cannot parse
As always my loudmouth botanist friend excellent video
Perfectly edited together with a nice amount of education and each and every single small clip nicely packed together
And since this is after Father's Day and you do have pretty little pooches Happy Father's Day to you
'a little leprechaun' I died. love the dode's, I wish I could grow em.
I’ve always been into plants but you’re getting me into geology .Though where I live it’s just chalk and flints, near the “White Cliffs of Dover” 🤣
You are the first youtube merch I've ever bought. I ordered the l. willimsai shirt because there wasn't an echinopsis pacchanoi one. Can't wait to get it!
6:53 You helped that dead branch to stretch out! 👍
Beautiful desert Phlox!
it may not be botanically interesting whether you can eat a plant until you realise that being edible by humans is the most powerful adaptive trait a species can have to ensure it's survival.
Don't tell me you actually believe that LOL
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt what's so unreasonable about that?
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt i don't see why i wouldn't. something like corn isn't ever gonna go extinct unless we do, and although i wouldn't mind that, i don't see it likely.
@@gramursowanfaborden5820 domesticating plants actually tends to make them far less fit for survival in their environment, as the human selection pressure usually breeds for non-adaptive traits like taste and size and seeds that germinate readily and lack dormancy. I get your angle, but it doesn't really hold much water. The plants that we are inadvertently breeding (unconsciously, as weeds growing in cracks on our sidewalks and continuing to grow despite the effects of industrial and automobile pollutants and herbicides) are the only ones that are gaining an evolutionary advantage during our time here.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt that's a really good point, i've been trying to grow cultivated fruit tree seeds and they have no dormancy at all, if they dry out, they're dead. a bit like humans ourselves, survival traits are unwittingly being selected out as healthcare gets better and people live more sedentary lives hiding from the things that might kill them. there is no selective pressure to hardiness or longevity with the artificial crutch of cultivation.
"Uh yeah hi everybody this is Tony"
When you hear this you know it's about to pop off
I need more cladograms! Just hurt me a little with them OK? Animal trees are so easy to follow, but I bearly get angiosperms seriously get lost at monocot/dicot
Thanks for taking us on a hike plant daddy
Love your videos! Especially when you’re in my region and familiar areas.
You should have a small rock hammer in your truck at all times, you never know when it'll come in handy.
Self protection if he runs into any hippie tweakers 😬
Rock hammer, ziplock baggies, shovel, gloves, brown lunch bags, water, toilet paper, and a multi tool. Maybe food
I got one in my truck My daughter says WTF LEAVE THE JADE IN THE LIZARDITE Diggin’ it out just ain’t right Save it to inspire future children you schmuck!
Thank you for making me notice things
ooooh fancy guy's got a 4k camera now. gneiss, bro.
Yeah hi Tony you're a champion
Dude, you have HEELERS!! Nice. I like you even more.
You are the Rainbow in the Clouds!
The crunchy rocks about 8 min in.... Nice.
14:52 leprechaun taking a dump
Does anyone else now hear Tony’s voice in their head instead of your own when reading plant species?
Awesome and colorful narration covering a little geology and some sweet taxonomy. Well done. Thank you. Oh, the invitation to go and “F” myself at the end of each presentation, all I have to say to that is, NICE!
U certainly make desolate areas more interesting
Thank you. Beautiful.
great segment Joey,✌️✅😎👍
If your not listening to CPBBD podcasts your missing out. Esp. 71 with Damon Tighe is particularly good.
The podcast is even better than the UA-cam show! (Both are amazing tho)
You should really come see the painted hills in oregon. Ive lived near my whole life snd theyre stunning
I still keep coming back for "Beaten to Death by cladograms"
love it... thanks for sharing..
Look at those colors. Puts in pocket.
Yes I take all the damn rocks
Been a long time fan,
Absolutely love your disdain for modern " civilization "...
Thank you for being who the fuck you are.
I wish you had knowledge on historical uses and potential medicinal benefits.. Anyways I enjoy your videos none the less
at 9m that looks like what my camera did when I tried filming a radioactive source.
A picture of that rock would be more in context in a home though, probably look better and allow more appreciation than the actual rock for most people.
Thanks for the video. I've been thinking about how you don't like lawns and I wanted to argue that it's just because you don't have the right lawn (I don't live in a desert). Today I identified* 29 species of herbaceous dicots in our lawn that didn't originate in our planting beds (3 only to genus and one I'm stumped on). IDK how many species of grasses and sedges, that's another day- then the mosses. It never gets watered or fertilized and I've mowed once this year, 3 weeks ago- it has been dry in Maine. It still isn't thick enough to hide a chipmunk or vole. It blooms in different places at different times of the year and I love watching the populations of plants change over the years. It's pretty simple to have a low input lawn that allows people to use outdoor space and still support a diverse ecosystem. We just need more people to give up the high input monoculture lawns. Maybe a seed mix to mimic what nature has done here with 30 years of 'neglect' is in order...
edit:* Many just counted because I knew them.
Our yard is covered in native bunch grasses, chickweed, henbit, native marigolds, and shit like that. Rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, birds out the ass, but IT'S NOT A LAWN. it's a yard.
I just discovered your channel. I enjoyed the video. Gonna enjoy the Great Basin while we can. Before the green energy monsters eat it all up.
I love you Tony
I've been watching u for a few months, I love all of your stuff and everything about your stuff, EXCEPT for this one little thing. You KEEP THE CAMERA ZOOMED WHEN YOU WALK AND ITS SO NEAUSEATING. it hurts my soul and my eyes
It was like 5 seconds of footage relax it doesn't happen that much
We have some of these species and genera in SW Ohio, in alkaline fens. Similar soils.
when I was in Tonopah in 2017 I parked my car up by one of the water tanks on the edge of the BLM land to the north. from there, I watched with binoculars as a lady in pulled to a stop on a road in the distance, let her two German Shepherds out to run, took an oil radiator heater out of her car, put two rounds in it with a shotgun point blank execution style, and left it there to bleed out on the ground
Never mind I can’t figure out how to send you the picture But I really respect all the information I learned from you thank you
Thanks !
True welded tuffs or ignimbrites are some of the toughest, hardest cliff-forming rocks out there... usually they are emplaced very quickly and very hot, and have “fiamme” in them, kind of like hot stretched out taffy rocks, lapilli stuck in the hot mess. I’d say that stuff is just old unwelded ash, judging how it fell apart in your hands. Can’t see enough to tell if it’s from fall or flow, but fall is going to be flatter, uniform thickness throughout the section and more stratified-flows will have flow structures, even some ripples and tend to pool in low areas of prior terrain, uneven thickness. Probably tuff from flows though, since it looked pretty thick. Maybe a little bit concreted due to its age, probably oligocene (the mid tertiary ignimbrite flare up) and the hydrothermal and meteoric fluids re-depositing silica between grains. Looks like there may be some welded tuffs out there looking at some of those cliffs sticking out of the volcanic mush. Beautiful colors out there. Gotta love those sky islands out there in the distance too.
🙏
I'm pretty sure it's flows, the ones in coyote pass near there (if I'm recognizing that formation of hills, and location) have some really fascinating inclusions that occasionally just roll out and down the hills
@@atomicthumbsV2 Yeah, and I also didn't realize how far west this is... the Silver Peak Volcanic center is a lot younger than the mid tertiary ignimbrites I mentioned (central nevada volcanic field/indian peak-caliente volcanic field)... these volcanics are probably mio-pliocene in age, probably mostly pliocene. Massive ash flow tuffs.
Time to take some dabs
Fo reall
Don't mind me just dropping a comment to boost interactions in the algorithm, carry-on.
Smoke a doob and binge this shit all of my day off!
I LOVE THS MAN SO MUCH
great video, as usual man
