This 25-minute movie illustrates the geologic evolution of Colorado through time, and premiered at the Opening Ceremony of the AAPG Convention in Denver on 31 May 2015. This version has been modified slightly from the version previously shown.
The movie is one portion of a large outreach project in which scientifically accurate animations are created for outreach presentations.
A longer movie is in preparation that is designed for a more general audience. We will post that version as soon as it is finished.

I received my undergraduate degree in Colorado, and I am currently pursuing my PhD in geology. Your video is very accurate in terms of all accounts of the geologic history of the region. Colorado is the most exceptional area in the United States for learning geology, and I make sure to come back every year to visit all of the fascinating locations available to the geoscientist.

@HighlanderNorth1 2 жыл бұрын

❗🤔❗ Well, let me offer up a more realistic, "alternate" timeline: Approx 6,000 years ago, on a Wednesday, God wished the Earth into existence. That next Saturday, he took a rib from Adam and created Eve. For the first few hundred years, it was just Adam, Eve, and dinosaurs roaming the land. Then God got angry, and all the dinosaurs died during the great flood. But Noah saved ALL of the hundreds of thousands of other living creatures on his ark. 👉 Then, when there was but 1 giant continent called "Pangaea", Jesus and the Israelites moved from Israel to Utah. They walked because buses hadn't been invented yet. Then Columbus discovered America(again... Jesus had already been here, remember)! Joseph Smith later learned about Jesus already having lived in America, when the angels showed him the golden plates, which he used to write the book of Mormon. Oh, I forgot to talk about all that geological stuff. Well, it was all created during the 40 days and 40 nights of flooding created by God's angry wrath, when Noah saved all the animals but decided not to save ANY dinosaurs(because he was worried they'd eat all the other animals on the ark). Doesn't that seem like a more more logical explanation? Any questions? 😁

This is amazing. It really illustrates how dynamic the Earth's surface is. I bet the vast majority of people had no idea that the land of Colorado was once south of the equator. I didn't know that the area was mostly flat "only" 18 million years ago. I had always assumed that the mountains were revealed and generally shaped 60 million years ago when the rock formed and uplifted. Colorado's climate started warming 20,000 years ago at the peak of the most recent glacial period. I enjoy hiking and climbing all around the state. I'm always looking at the rock and amazing geomorphology of the landscape.

Continental drift is only a theory, and has much to be desired, as far as factual "land-movement" is concerned! In order for any land mass movement, such as a continent, it would have to divorce itself from it's roots/base, which goes down below the surface hundreds/thousands of miles. In order for huge land masses to move, they would have to have an open pathway for that movement. Any other land mass(es) would have to move at the very same time in order to allow this movement. And, the diameter of the earth would be also altering, which hasn't happened. An example of this is made by taking an ordinary balloon and filling it with only half it's normal volume of air, and then drawing the continents with a magic marker all around the balloon. If you want the continents to "move", you would have to blow the balloon up fully, which represents the changing of the diameter of the earth, and of course, earths diameter is constant, therefore ""drifting"" of continents is not possible! Another example is taking an orange, which represents earth, and separating all the segments, which represents the earths matter/crust, and putting them together as a sphere again. Try to move a segment around to a different position,,,, you can't! Because just like the orange segment, the land masses are not islands, or, a raft,, that can drift only because it's not solidly founded. As I said, the drifting theory, is just that, a theory!!!

Sonny Cannon so what is enough evidence for you?? The fact that South America fits in perfectly with Africa, and you can find similar plants and fossils on both continents

In undergrad I flirted with a geology major before focusing on computer science and statistics. This really takes me back. Very well written and narrated, and (as far as my limited earth sciences education can confirm) appears to be very well-researched. Would love to see a series like this on all 50 US states.

An absolute awesome presentation and the best I have ever seen. The time and hours of study to put this much knowledge together must be tremendous. I love the way the video shows Colorado as it relates to the land as it moved. I never knew it was below the equator for so long. Then as the presentation moves through time, it shows great examples of what a particular past time period created. It's just a fantastic way to help understand how our planet has evolved over many many years. The geologist that understand all of this are amazing, and it's so fascinating. I would love to see other states produce this type of video as well. Congratulations on an excellent presentation and thanks for sharing it!

Thank you so much for posting this fantastic video. I have students study our rocks and fossils, trying to piece together the history of the state. Now they can really visualize it by watching this video! Really well done, love when you show the actual rocks that tell us what was happening during certain time periods. I wish it went back even further, to Precambrian times! There is, however, way too much about the oil and coal deposits, but it was made for the AAPG so I guess that is to be expected (Amer. Assoc. of Petroleum Geologists!)

All these ancient discoveries we are starting to put together just blows me away. I watch people hike the CDT that runs through Colorado and you see all the features in this documentary up close and now with an explanation that makes sense. The mountains are crumbling but they have been doing this for millions of years.
