Walk about an ancient quarry site and learn about the history and the significance of the minerals and unique formations found here. This bentonite mine in the Sevier Valley of Central Utah near the town of Redmond is a geological oddity and sight to behold.

Thanks for sharing, you're extremely insightful. I have enjoyed your videos, great stuff to think about. I came across a salt deposit that had been mined by the Fremont Indians, salt and knapping rocks I guess were valuable to trade back then. Anyway, thanks for all your effort. I am enjoying your content. Was all that salt left by Lake Bonneville 13000 years ago or is it much older than that?

I really appreciate the positive feedback, and very grateful that you have enjoyed my videos so far, and for the encouragement to keep going. Lake Bonneville has receded and grown on multiple occasions, and it is commonly believed to have mostly dried up (and/or drained) between 30,000 and 13,000 years ago. Salt was a highly valued commodity as long as humans have walked the planet, and it is well documented that some tribes have mined salt, bentonite, and chert here for a very long time. Some of the oldest agricultural settlements of the Americas exist not too far from here as well.

Like so much of the "official history" of Utah, there's a problem with your analogy towards the end there. Well, two major problems. A. The tribal people DID NOT mine salt or Bentonite. And certainly not from there. And certainly NOT for thousands of years. Because LAKE BONNEVILLE. B. The Spaniards didn't stay in Utah longer than they had to in order to get to the other side of it, hence why there are no Hispanic names in Utah. And I believe that LAKE BONNEVILLE was still there at that time, because the French named it that. The rest of what you say makes sense, because while my dad was stationed at Hill AFB, we went as a family to see Kennecot and I do believe we went there to your location before the roads tipped into the crater as you say. The Vista on all sides looks very similar to my memory of that location. But you can't have mining for thousands of years, by a culture that doesn't mine (the diné/ Navajo) AND also have the LAKE. I know that the Navajo don't mine because of what I was taught by elders of that tribe about collecting turquoise and silver: only take what mother earth offers up on her surface. You're a smart guy, but stop making shit up.
