Such a pleasure to see this video and read all of these comments. I'm enchanted by all the talk of changing majors to Geology. Me? I'm 63 years old and living my second life. Back in college again and wishing I had discovered geology when I was 18! But for now, I'll thoroughly enjoy Geology 101 and Stephan's videos!!

I am thinking of studying Geology at College... It is just so damn interesting, a rock contains stories about the past, only to be deciphered if you know how to look. I'm stoked!!
Great video!

The reason I'm here is because I'm fascinated with land and its connection to war/ battle. Ever since I knew what a sword was I've been interested in where/how we used land as a weapon. Oftentimes when I traveled or I a stump or a field I could imagine or see a battle taking play.
