Kosmographia Ep052 The Randall Carlson Podcast with Brothers of the Serpent – Kyle and Russ, Normal Guy Mike and GeocosmicREX admin Bradley, from 11/09/20. We head back to Meteor Crater and dig into the definitive 1997 paper by David Kring on the effects of the blast wave from the central Arizona impact 50,000 years ago. Much was learned from the detonations of nuclear weapons during the 1950’s, with numerous craters blasted out in the Yucca Flats of Nevada. The estimates for a similar event every 1600 years are pondered, and we figure that those periods are considered to be even shorter now. Then we revisit a few other spots from our “Southwest Experience” in October, including a stop to see the distinct Black Mat at Murray Springs, petroglyphs at Chevelon Canyon, and Monument Valley – where the “Great Denudation” begs for questions about the erosional processes that shaped those landscapes, and the history of seismicity that should’ve toppled the fragile sandstone spires long ago. Unless of course, that those erosional processed occurred much more recently than previously imagined…

Just received noticed that the next Kosmograpnia The Randall Carlson Podcast is available. Yay! It's a great day!

Thanks guys. Great descriptions of the impact. Intense. Yes.

This podcast has inspired me to start my own show that travels around to cool geological stuff. I live in Wisconsin, so that's where I'm starting, and Cave of the Mounds is getting filmed on Friday. I work for my local cable channel, so I get to use all their equipment for this. It's nice having several HD video cameras that you didn't have to pay for...

Thanks for this podcast, and keep up the great work!

So, after seeing how well the CBD oil has been working for hubby the last 3 months, I got some for myself... When I was 2.5 yrs old, I fell backwards off the front porch banister (about 8-10ft), and landed on my neck. During my teens and early 20s, I took several hard falls from horses, so my back and neck have been messed up for years, while I learned to just live with the pain... Took my first dose of the CBD oil yesterday and, a couple hours later and much to my surprise, I noticed my neck was not hurting nearly as much and had greater range of movement than it's had in a decade. ONE DOSE! I also slept better, 7 hours straight without having to roll over... THANK YOU, RANDALL!! If you hadn't started taking CBD from the Gods and touted it here, I'd still be looking for a brand for hubby to try, and both he and I would be still be miserable... <3

One often overlooked perk about having a woolly mammoth is the fact that they keep shedding that fur. Most woolly mammoth owners periodically gather up said fur and make all kinds of nifty things with it .. sweaters, moccasins, ushankas .. it's great - if you can adjust to the smell, that is. But hey, no pain no gain.

You guys are great. Thank you all for your priceless contribution to sharing knowledge.

Blasting thru the older podcasts and they are awesome. This one I loved. I lived in AZ for years and took many visiting family members to Meteor Crater, but I never truly appreciated it until this podcast. You guys are awesome!

Incredible pictures. Love the panoramas. Really get a sense of scale.

[SmallWonda]

Another fascinating & enlightening episode - wish I'd heard all this before I went to Monument Valley 20+ years ago - but, it seems a simplistic question, BUT, where on earth did all that eroded material go??? And, yes, I think our ancestors were a lot more switched-on than we give them credit, & not keeping an alert eye on the sky is absolutely crazy! Keep well, y'all (being this is Easter '21)

[danielvermeer]

I like how Randall let the guy guess the difference between a fault line and a fracture line..

[markokrasa]

Your guys half time guitar strum-jam is the most jamming elevator music I’ve ever heard. It’s good enough for after work smoking a joint or waking up in the morning smoking a joint. Or just the anticipation of seeing your guys faces again after a short break and hearing the rest of the podcast!
Nuff luv

The subject of walls and the psi to move a wall are discussed in a book "Why Buildings Fall Down: How Structures Fail"
A lady lit her pilot light on her gas stove, a little puff, singed hair, turn around to be looking outside, her wall was gone and all the floors above her collapsed .... blocks held in place by compression only, easy to book by the way
Thank you guys, great stuff
P.S.
SNAKES, love that podcast also

I can totally picture randall riding a wolly mammoth, with a long spear; and looking down on the doubters with sneers of derision

I first saw Randall on the Danny Jones podcast, and I was really interested in his take on things. So now I’ve been going through the videos, and started at episode 1. Ive noticed beyond a doubt that Randall’s favorite color of shirt is definitely BLUE, and tonight he’s wearing RED for the first time that Ive seen.😮

One theory I heard in regard to Arches NP is that a thick bed of salt beneath the surface acts as a buffer to seismic activity, minimizing the damage done to the arches and pinnacles there. Perhaps the same sort of thing could be a factor in Monument Valley, although the source I heard mentioning that isn't exactly someone I'd put much faith in and my own searches haven't found much to support it.

I'm playing catch up but I've really been enjoying these discussions! Keep 'em coming!

Oh, boy. Back to class. I took the black vein across the Musselshell River for a landmark to lead me to a stretch of the river to fish broken chunk rock spots for smallies. Its as bold as the place near Mexico in the exposed face. Now realizing a border between 2 geological eras is my landmark to a good hole brings another level of thought to the 'coal seam hole'.

@Randall - re your 32 min mark discussion of wanting a cloned/resurrected woolly mammoth - get the renegade biohacker scientists to make you one from DNA of those pygmy Channel Islands mammoths instead of the full-sized ones. Will make both feeding and poop cleanup a little more feasible :)

[roxannesumners]

Oh, yea, Randall! Your summation rant is soooo fabulously on point!!!

[likklej]

I'm and visited Monument Valley back in the seventies, and always wondered how those rocks were formed. Thanks Kosmographia has awakened my interest in geology. I studied geology at school but just to up exam grades for Uni.

Glad I found this Podcast and this episode in particular. Love Carlson and I happen to live 45 minutes from Meteor Crater. Actually just took my kids a month ago, awesome place!
