One of my very observant viewers noticed that I used the same photo for the two macro shots of sandstone at 2:15 and 3:08. This was an error on my part. I can assure you that the two sandstones are VERY similar when observing with a hand lens. The sandstone in the "tree" is very slightly darker stained on a freshly broken surface. I think it is awesome that I have people paying such close attention!! I'm sure other errors will be found in future videos. Thank you to foolishwatcher.

I would still like to see the contrasting pictures. Could you post that as a short or in your community feed? Just because I love rocks :) I live near Potsdam sandstone quarries in NY and we have buildings made of it. I always thought all sandstone was like ours but now that I'm old I've researched and found that our sandstone is unique along with the famous German sandstone and other sandstones aren't cemented quite so hard as to be suitable for building with.

In my youth I lived near the Petrified Forest in Northern Arizona. While I am not a Geologist, I could tell at a glance these objects did not form the same way as the objects in the Petrified Forest of Northern Arizona. The objects in the video were long and round which, at a distance, looked like a tree trunk, but not so much when up close. In Arizona, the objects look like trees near and far. We could pick up a piece of these stone trees and it "looked" like you had a piece of wood in your hands. From what I remember learning, the downed trees where laying in water and absorbed minerals from the water that filled the cells of the tree. You could even see where large limbs came off the trunk. But then, what do I know, I'm not a Geologist. I do know this was a fantastic video, informative and easily understood by it's audience. Well done, sir, well done.

I am 62 now, and I wish I had become a scientist, like a geologist or a biologist. Two very interesting fields of study. However, I became a tradesman instead. Anyway, I really loved this segment. I find the whole idea of something looking like one thing, but being something completely different. Also, in how the outcroppings were made, considering the vast amount of time it took for these to form, it is now easy to understand the process. Geology is fascinating, and I truly believe I would have been very good at it. Because of you and others in the many circles of science, I can still enjoy it all, especially when coming from nice people like you who love to teach others like me. *Thank you for this thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking video!* This is the first video of yours that I have watched, but I am now a subscriber with notifications - I want to see all of your videos! 😊

Incredible to think that at one time a large river flowed through this region, in a direction and way that's so far different than the present geography would suggest. It's fun to see how dramatically the surface of the earth can change over time, but it must be equally as fun to find these clues in the rock and soil to put together an accurate understanding of what that specific place once looked like millions of years ago.

Thanks for that Myron. I recently watched another film on KZfaq about A California Geologist who was also very entertaining. He was discussing why you get a long line of vegetation in remote parts of desert and he said this was where the tectonic plates rise above each other and you get natural springs form all along them. In 1993 I was on a family holiday in the state of California and the family decided to have a ride out. After looking at a place on the map called “Lone Pine” I said “that will do”. About an hour later, we were there. Well, it was what I would call an oasis. Just about a dozen Huge Palm trees in the middle of a Mojave style desert. Myself and my children walked into the middle of this oasis and I looked down at the sand at my feet. I started flicking the sand from side to side with my sandalled foot and the ground under my feet opened up and the more I did this the more it turned into water. After a short time there was a puddle and there appeared the smallest of fish, like what you would call “sticklebacks” in the UK. This incident really freaked me out. It was like I’d witnessed some sort of miracle.. it was alike the phenomenon of it raining frogs. What a wonderful thing Geology is.

Very good lesson. Geology is how time writes, and it's a fascinating book. I have been a fan since I first looked down and saw a colored rock. 65 years later and I am still learning. The exposed strata of a road cut never fail to draw my attention. My first clue the objects weren't trees was from the flattened shape. My second thought was maybe a lava tube, the color evoked Basalt - until you got to the close-up photos. Geology is a wonderful science that has told us a lot. Who doesn't love a good puzzle?

The bodies in your excellent video are perhaps the largest pseudofossils that one will ever run across. I used to volunteer in my town's tiny museum and I'd identify specimens for guests. One guest brought in a "dinosaur egg" that has been in his family for three generations. It was certainly the right size and shape to be a dinosaur egg and it did have a "shell" that had a small piece missing revealing the rounded insides (like a hard boiled egg). I had to point out that the "egg" was made of granodiorite and was "unlikely to be a fossil and that the egg-shape was due to exfoliation and spheroidal weathering common to granites." The answer was unsatisfying and the guy said that he will continue to believe it to be a dinosaur egg as did his father and grandfather. We parted with broad smiles.

I suggest if you can come to the area immediately around a town called 29 Palms and study to look for evidence that that area was like a edge of or in a tropical forest once or a area with magnolia and avocado trees with the now existing fan palms which was said from a publication from the UC groups. If was it had laurel trees that are found way north in our redwoods. I really wish someone would check it out but don't just consult with locals becuz they will not tell you much prolly on purpose or will feebly . So do this secretly and report your observations or finds . If when trees grew in this mojave desert area it maybe it was dessicated after awhile eroding some rock material away but look closely for details or clues to a once deep forest environment that likely had streams going thru it . Much more rain amounts too. The NY Providence mts have the famous caverns in the way to Vegas , the northeast zone . Those created from like 80 inches of rain once likely. So check it out ir direct the video guy to my post! And thanks . Again don't consult locals, but act like just visiting is better . The local 'brains' are not real reliable. Many common people are seeming anti-knowledge is weird a thing. I know it from being here 40 years.

Just a cool thought on how we get those (whale rocks) and thing like that. Everyone always wants to jump to petrified wood but any living organisms can be petrified.

My first thought when I saw those was, "lava tubes." I found a small (bookend size) piece of a lava tube from the volcanos five miles from us across Sitka Sound. Kind of a miniature Devil's Tower. Lots of neat stuff like that around here. Most of the pumice has been collected although some pieces occasionally "pop" up, if you catch my pun. This chunk of mine is a treasure, and it also works great to hold the plate down on the cabbage when I make sauerkraut. When you showed a picture of the end of the "tree," however, I saw what looked like layers, and then showed the "ribs," now I was stumped (no pun here.) Which is why I love watching your videos.

There was probably a cavern upstream of the concretions where calcite and similar minerals were leached out of some body of stone, then followed the river bed for a way before precipitating. That would be one way to get the mineral rich water, but also there can be some epithermal minerals being released from deep underground, displacing the host rock minerals (due to the acidity of the epithermal fluids) and being pushed up from below. If you can find the 'headwaters' of the mineral source, it would help a lot, because it would likely come up from underground, spreading out into the river bed, leaving a fissure/fault, you will likely find some sulfides and possibly some igneous or metamorphic traces as well. I have some of that super fine quartz stuff growing on my land, along the face of some chert, which all appear to have been the result of some epithermal deposits of sulfides a couple of hundred feet deeper into the country rock. Due to its width and abundance, mine strongly suggests a rapid, short lived formation while that which you are showing suggests [to me anyway] a slower, more sedate accretion, based on the fact that it more casually picked easier paths, and stacked up fairly high within those paths, rather than shooting out like a sheet which would require a strong uplifting of the land. Also, mine is all in shale and limestone, with hardened sandstone as a byproduct in certain areas with a Moh's hardness of about 7.5 - 8.9 and a crystal density just short of flint, bumped up against super tough chert with similar hardnesses, but without any verifiable cleavage. I'm hoping mine will lead to a valuable volume of metallic sulfides I can get to some day.
