Take a trip to Turner Falls OK, just off I35 between DFW. and OKC, and learn about travertine. Most waterfalls - like Niagara Falls - are sites of erosion but Turner Falls is growing as travertine is continuously being deposited.

Great presentation and scientific explanation. Ali, the artist, and the editing team have really upped the quality of the video! Thanks for mentioning the Native American Indians that likely visited long before it was named after someone named "Turner".

Wonderful work! I almost died out there three years ago looking for some of the caves in the Arbuckle’s Karst topography, but I thankfully made it back to the falls before a very close call with dehydration. Thank you for the video - I’ll never look at Turner Falls the same again!
