The Bob Ross of geology. Painting a picture that we never even realized. Thank you Myron.

Around 1964 deer hunting in the high Sierra Range my brother and I was standing on a large granitic rock that was smoothed by glaciation with what looked like a school of black fish swimming together. I was about 14 and my brother 16 and we were amazed and tried to figure out what occurred. I remember we did see flow structure but of course being kids and standing on solid rock couldn't figure how that could be. That planted the seeds of geology and both of us became geologists. Thank you Myron for keeping the interest and wonder of geology alive by your fantastic videos and skill at creating an interesting story.

I REALLY like your presentation style. Reading the suggestions, with respect, and then eliminating them through evidence was excellently done.

I majored in geology at the University of Alabama, graduating in 1972. I loved it and did well. But I was in ROTC and they shipped me off to pilot training. After an Air Force career followed by another in the airlines, I retired and found geology again. I still love it and your videos are helping me relearn it as well as learn exciting new things. Your love for geology is apparent in every word, image and diagram, and your teaching skills are extraordinary. Thank you.

This is the good side of YouTube. Simply wonderful. Thank you for your efforts and success Myron! Can’t wait to see another video!

This is one of the best YouTube channels. Thank you so much for teaching and showing these amazing geological features.

I’m so glad that the algorithms put this channel on my feed suggestions. Geology with Myron is interesting beyond belief!

As a geologist I can’t agree more with your initial opening point of seeing more when outdoors. Everywhere on earth holds so much information and can tell so many stories but most people can’t appreciate it. Very glad I grew up with a dad who’s a geologist and taught me the ropes at a young age which sparked my interest in geology

Im a sophomore in college and taking Geology 101 right now and since its all online, this particular professor dosent have lectures. Just read and answer questions. You just made so much so much more clear to me. Excited to have found these vids and plan on watching a bunch to help supplement school stuff. Thank you.

Yes! I’ve seen smaller versions of these on a YouTube video on the Irish sea coast that’s got these things weathering out; these ancient mud balls with secondary spheres inside them that often have a petrified crab or mollusk inside. One term used I’ve heard is “pregnant rocks”. Awesome find! It’s HUGE!!

Me, who knows very little about geology, was thinking concretions the entire time. What a great way to explain the concept, hearing out and ruling out all theories even though you likely knew the answer immediately.

Knowing the final answer from the start but eliminating other possibilities just to teach others patiently is your geological gift, Sir. Tuning our eyes into detectives.

Your description of the "seed" is exactly how clouds form. Some microscopic particle (dust pollen, ash, etc), called a cloud condensation nuclei, will be the focal point for water molecules to start attaching to something and building into tiny droplets light enough to stay suspended as a cloud. When they keep growing, it turns into rain. So cool to see so many parallels in the sciences.

Well paced, high quality, and very educational. That drone zoom-out shot was amazing and was a great way to explain what was going on.

I love these lessons. Taught in a way to gain your interest and learn. His students are extremely lucky to be influenced by Myron.

Once again, Myron performs that time warp thing where 24+ minutes passes like 15 minutes and I'm always surprised to see we're again at the end of a video. Thank you, Myron.

Hell yeah! Ive been waiting to come across a channel like this! I took a geology class in college and ill never get over it. It was the coolest class ive ever taken and i was debating whether to switch majors bc i loved it so much! Unfortunately i didnt and i think about it every now and then but watching your videos makes me feel like im back in that class and that brings me a lot of joy so thank you Mr. Cook!

Beautifully explained, thanks a lot. More please of these great videos!
leswoodburn
Thanks, Myron. I love your videos. I've loved geology since my first geology course in 7th grade. Unfortunately, that was in 1958. Fortunately, I'have done some reading and taken a few recent field trips. And your videos are an important part of my continued learning. Obviously, with over 60K subscribers, I'm not alone in you being an important source for education.
