There's nothing like the joy of discovery! Go out and look at cool rocks and plants and share what you find

This is one of the most practical, useful, and eye-opening classes, taught by one of the best in the biz. You absolutely do not want to miss this.

Yeah, there are some great fossil beds very close to this formation. Lots of corals and crinoids and fossil snails, tons of fossil worm burrows. The earth is amazing!

Has a nice ring to it I think! 🔥🤘🔥

Out for the first ride of the not-murderously-hot season, patrolling the Mojave, and discovered massive veins of selenite gypsum -- huge glassy chunks just sticking out the ground! Nothing in the world beats the rush of a new discovery and learning new things about our world. 🤘

Thank you! Thanks to a brilliant Redditors, we think its calcium carbonate (limestone) beds morphed through hydrothermal MVT mineralization into bands of calcium magnesium carbonate (white and pink dolomite tinged with iron impurities) with layers of less permeable micritic limestone in between.

No silicates here; it's all calcium carbonate (limestone) beds likely morphed through hydrothermal MVT mineralization into bands of calcium magnesium carbonate (white dolomite and pink dolomite tinged with iron impurities) with layers of less permeable micritic limestone in between.

Large swathes of Nevada were covered by the Western Interior Seaway, and these carbonate beds are 450 million years old, with rugose horn corals and crinoids in the same area. But it's looking likely that Mg-rich basin waters forced through bedding strata turned it to a form of zebra dolomite.

i've been a massive fan of Myron's for a couple years now. He's one of the best creators and teachers on Youtube. Absolutely love his content and I will confess I have thought of reaching out to him about this

Michael Schwalbe: 𝚊̶𝚌̶𝚝̶𝚘̶𝚛̶ 𝚑̶𝚞̶𝚖̶𝚊̶𝚗̶ concept @michaelschwalbe.bsky.social · 5d

digging dinosaurs in MT would be another childhood dream come true, congrats to you. And yes indeed -- the stories of the earth's history told in stone are some of the most fascinating and awe-inspiring of all
