and where is the tower's devil....

Interesting to see some science rather than speculation about this place. It would seem unlikely that it was ever suitable for a city if it was in a flood way. The total lack of any archaeological evidence further backs this idea. I don’t believe it was Atlantis.

I wonder how the Woodleigh impact (which embarrassingly I didn’t know about till watching your video … embarrassing as I grew up here in WA! ) affected the Gogo fish … the amazing Devonian animal found in a fossil reef in the Kimberleys. Maybe there’s no connection. Just musing :) Another subject that might interest your viewers is Gosse’s Bluff (if not already covered) . Thank you for informing and entertaining.

There's gold in them hills.

Do Boddington Gold mine! They pull 23,000kg of Gold out of the ground every year!

Looks like the work of dope smokers or someone on the bex tables, handywork

Hi, amazing video, but I don't t think that the eruption could start with a hollywoodian-style giant explosion as the mentioned one in the video. Instant vaporization, an improvvise flash of light, these are cinema things. A supervolcano eruption is not a single giant explosion as far as we know. And neither the normal eruptions, to be honest. It there may be an initial crack of the surface in the eruption start with a powerful rumble, but everything you would see is darkness and ash, maybe shockwaves, ok. At Toba, the YTT eruption should have been a ring-fracture eruption with a relatively high eruptive column (40-50 km), with violent and rapid expulsions of material from multiple centers, but it's improbabile a single giant explosion at the start as one can see in film. That's cinematography or an asteroidal impact or a nuclear explosion. About Campi Flegrei, instead, the phreatomagmatic explosions after the collapse are very probable, being the caldera in the Gulf of Napoli. But there too, neither flash nor classic explosions, only roars. In fact, everything is in an abyss of darkness.

Interesting to think that the Earths crust was so must thicker millions of years ago

Thanks for the fantastic content.

Thanks

One particularly compelling hypothesis is that the Siberian basalt had a higher carbon content from the fossilized carboniferous coal swamps. The coal made it more toxic as there was mercury and other really bad stuff (ahem). There was also another impact during the great dying that happened in Brazil. The Capitanian and then it just kept on coming. Almost half of the Permian was just mass extinction after mass extinction. Thank sweet Jesus that the Lystrosaurus was there to be the veritable capybaras of the late permian and early triassic. Potentially our ancestral synapsid hid out in their burrows to avoid the probable harsh conditions. I almost wish I wanted a pet lystrosaurus. I think they're cute. On another note, I don't know how much stock is placed in the Wilkes meteor hypothesis. CAMP happened and there doesn't seem to be any meteor. The Deccan traps already erupted before Chicxulub.

Up close the columns are gigantic. Most columnar basalt is 1 to 3 feet across, (1 meter) but at Devil’s Tower they’re 15 to 20’ across. (6 meters)

is this why Quensland Suncorp and ANZ have so much interest in New Zealand stealing property

yep ok make a video and. have you done one on the destructive taupo tarawera?

It's impossible to imagine a wave that big. It would be terrifying to behold.

As an aussie jokester i think that they can do better than this nonsense

Thanks for the video, very interesting. I am sorry to sound critical, but do you listen to your own commentary can you not notice that you sound robotic, or like a news reporter from the 70s. Please consider using some intonation and a variance of cadence to make your videos a bit easier to listen to. Or did you use ai to voice the script. I wish you well.

Supervolcano no this is just a volcano so call super are at least 1000sq km of material

I'm so glad you posted this story. Great video and presentation 👍👍👍

I often feel we got ripped off with the GDR. I wish it was 800-100m HIGHER than it is now. Imagine the skiing we would have ***SIGH***

Just as spectacular is The Lost City in northern Queensland. Look it up.

VEI 7 or less. Historically.

So,good to hear from a genuine Rockstar.

It's name tarawera? What's it mean? Red soil?

What I love is the scientifically precise terminology and measurements. “This would have raised the temperature of the atmosphere to unthinkable levels and the ejecta released would have shrouded the globe for an unthinkable amount of time. It would have blocked the sunlight and plunged the temperature of the earth by a drastic amount.”

I visited Kagoshima Jan last year and saw Sakurajima for myself...And yes Japan is a beautiful country.

No doubt black fellow owns these rocks as well no doubt there will be a money grab if they find out

Clipnya gado2 gitu si. All over the place. Kek asal comot. Pake AI ya? Naratornya juga mencurigakan.

It seems that none of you have worked out that under the series of lakes on the southern side of the Gt Eastern Hwy between Coolgardie & Kalgoorlie, namely Brown Lake, Red Lake, Douglas Lake & White Lake is a fortune in gold waiting for a tech genius to figure out how to get at it. The same applies to Hannan Lake, Lake Lefroy, Lake Cowan & maybe Lake Dundas. If you scour the many thousands of various Mines Department & other reports, surveys, mines records etc etc you would find a simple but overlooked common denominator. Repeated mention of the gold bearing bodies falling away under the western edge of the lakes These are the Kalgoorlie > Norseman line of lakes i refer to here.

Very interesting Thank you

I bet they came to new zealand to

When i first heard of them yrs ago, the glyphs where said to talk of them exploring a far away land, and the prince was bitten and died of snakebite..and its pretty much the same story to this day being told, they're legit..

It would be good to do a doco on the crater north west of Gin Gin in Q. It's like 12kms across. I asked the CSIRO and they didn't have much on it

Oz, your videos make Australia seem awesome!

If it were similar to Shoemaker-Levy you would not be making CZcams videos.

OMG, those opals are incredible!

@OzGeology : I noticed you used the North American pronunciation (& no doubt spelling) "symaltaneously", rather than the English "simaltaneously", European "simaltaneousli" pronunciation& spelling.

I 've been saving this episode for a little while, to watch on the TV on a Friday evening with a little whisky from around one of the areas described. My wife thinks that with discovering calderas on your own, she's seeing here a glimpse into what my own "wild" days (she did air quotes) were like, back before we met. Let's just say we'll not be in too much of a hurry to correct her, OzGeology.

Perun?

And what are the coordinates of the cutting ?

the government destroyed the glyphs in december 2023

And it should all belong to the aborigines not the land grabbers.

Mining just down the road . Can see the black layer about 70-80m below the surface. wonder if this is related

Victorian gold requires close spaced percussion drilling and diamond drill core sampling, to find the next major lode or reef , and thats out of reach to the hobby prospector or small mining companies. Its fair to say that underground reef mining is the only way high value commercial mining can be won in what remains of Victorian golfields gold . Sorry folks the average detectorist is not going to strike it rich in Victoria, however that said another " welcome stranger " nugget or two can still be out there , but winning Powerball is about the same odds of finding it in Victoria.

The largest impact is the Pacific Ocean as the entirety of its impression is from the impact that formed the moon.

Gold is where you find it 😀😀😀

Australia. Where everything wants to kill you, including the trees.
