I own the Granger Clay Pits that Nick and Dr. Lydia Stasch visited at about 53 minutes into the presentation. Dr. Stasch has dates for the zircons from my property, 10 million years old from the Salmon River.

@@aaronbaum3932 If you like geology, one of the best I've ever seen is Myron Cook. He does a lot of stuff in Wyoming. The guy really gets into the hidden stuff of geology, especially the old seaway, and the Morrison stuff. Wyoming truly has some of the best geology in North America. He travels into Colorado and Utah. I haven't seen a video yet about the old supervolcano in Colorado, but I hope he does a video about this as well. It would be good because it would get into the uranium deposits, and much of the gold in Colorado. It would also get into much of the dinasour bones found on Dinosaur Ridge. He did do a very good video about the Red Rocks in the front range and how today's Rockies are not the original Rockies.

What a blessing that he has put together several classes and nearly 100 lectures in 2020 that we could listen to remotely and even participate in. Can’t thank you enough, Nick. Hope to hear many more in the new year. Happy Holidays.

I read the type locality paper on the Ringold Fm by RC Newcomb where he talks about the damming of the ancestral Columbia by the Horse Heaven Ridge Uplift that made Lake Ringold. I’m curious if that is still the accepted mechanism for lake formation and what the underlying tectonics of that uplift are. Hopefully Ms Staisch will address that topic in her research!

An alternative age and mechanism for Hells Canyon would be variable. The Snake cut a canyon through the older sedimentary layers before the Columbia River Flood Basalts (CRFB,) then was dammed, penetrated through, collapsed the permeable dam, and continued the erosion. Layer upon layer, and many damming, penetrations and collapsing processes to its current state. Oregon's McKenzie River is evidence of the process; the river disappears for miles under lava flows then reappears at Tamolitch falls like a leaky dam.

Has there ever been any consideration that instead of the lava basalt pressing down on the earth in the region, it's the removal of the lava from under the earth that is displaced to the top of the earth? Like in Hawaii's last Eruption you had the crater drop in the caldera and flowing lava miles away from where it had come from?...

@1:02:15 If the zircons in the Ringold formation are 8 million years old and they are from Lake Idaho does that really indicate there was a connection between Lake Idaho and Lake Ringold at that time? Couldn't it be that those 8 million year old sediments from Lake Idaho were transported to Lake Ringold 3 mya when the Snake River opened the connection between both lakes? My guess is that this connection must have been pretty violent at times with a lot of erosion involved because both lakes don't exist anymore.

Why couldn't the pacific exotic terranes bumping up against old north america cause deep gaps?, the deepest at Hells Canyon. When the two land masses joined together, why do you assume they meet one flush to the other? You seem to be locked in to the erosion idea.

Great video, your content is top tier. It should be noted that the only reason for the 8,000 ft depth of hella canyon is the seven devils sit on the rim. It goes from 10,000 feet at the summit to the bottom around 2,000. Most of the canyon isn’t that deep. Still fascinating. Cheers from whitebird.
