I have stopped by two of your random road cuts, the unconformity by Laughlin, NV, and the Minnekhata Limestone at the sough entrance of Wind Cave.
Very nice thanks for sharing
Hi Shawn. Commenting here randomly (figured a ‘random’ roadcut vid would be a good place!). I wasn’t able to find the video I commented on a month or so ago where I had mentioned you stopping in the Upstate NY region and said I didn’t think we had much to offer in terms of geology…but I was very incorrect in that thought. YouTube has been suggesting geology-related videos for the Western NY and Finger Lakes regions, as well as a few that highlight my hometown area (suburbs of Rochester). Plus, NiagaraFalls is a 90-mile drive to the West, Finger Lakes within a couple dozen miles, Letchworth StatePark, the Genesee River Gorge I drive over twice a day getting to and from work! Plus, the Adirondack Mountains about 4-5 hours’ drive from me. You have really opened my eyes to my local geology…in my early 60s I’m reinvested in learning all I can about my area. Thank you. ❤
That basalt looks like if it cooled any faster it would have been obsidian. Thanks for posting. I envy you being in Iceland during an eruption event and hope to witness it personally someday.
Interesting color, surprised to see that.
I've watched your volcano updates regularly but this is my first Random Roadcut.
I am hooked! 👍🏻 Gotta watch more, interesting!
How many rocks did you take home from Iceland? I got a rock from my grandmothers farm, in Saudarkrokur, Iceland..
Wonder what peak hour looks like 😅 interesting to see the layers!
Thanks!
Interesting and from Iceland. Perhaps you could do a video talking about the formation of Iceland ie, what areas formed first, oldest rocks, minerals ?
Not your average cut, but very cool thank you ALL stay safe
Thx! Good job!
Hi, again. You said some of the basalt cooled quickly and dense and not crystalline. So are they between obsidian and basalt? And is there a term for the discoloration of the basaltic dike heating/melting/changing the color of the welded tuff, ??contact metamorphism? Thank you, professor!
❤❤❤Thank you, Shawn! Fun…and a new perspective forming.
What a great road cut illustrating a couple different eruptive products– the fused ash layer, the red and black basalts and the pinkish tuff. Any idea what gives the tuff layer its red color? Thanks so much for giving us a close up view of these rocks and this outcrop. Well done.
Great geo-adventure Prof. Thx ✌🏻
Thanks for the roadcut, very interesting. I wonder if, given the relatively small units involved, the dike jacked up the tuff layer on one side as it rose. The tuff was likely an e posed surface cap layer when the dike broke through, I would guess from all the recent Iceland reporting. That dike protrusion and spreading out may have been in the depth of an Icelandic winter, with a few feet of snow and howling freezing winds. Cold enough to make your freezer seem positively balmy. Very rapid cooling on the surface, in geo terms.
Interesting. I like this random roadcut series. Thanks!
So interesting! I have learned so much from these episodes. Thank you! Do you have a feel for when that explosive eruption might have taken place and where?
