Fascinating for sure...65 years old and never have heard of this place and feature. Appreciate the stunning pictures and succinct overview of the marvel. Thank you for sharing!
I love Nick's series and take careful notes on every one. The only problem I have is with the music in the background. I do not feel that it enhances the presentation but instead is distracting. Please consider cutting out the music when Nick is speaking.
Is there a hickup in normal hot spots aruptive path that could support a rogue (out of path) eruption? For instance a bigger gap between scarring of eruption cycles then normal @ ~30M BC. Great stuff, thanks!
From what I've read the theory is this eruption happened in what would now be Northern California, but the crust itself rotated www.geology.cwu.edu/facstaff/nick/gEOCENE/2013_Wells_CascadeArcRotation.pdf
With the uncertainties under the CFBs, there can be plenty of room to speculate; what if the driving force for the NW rotation was/is the same for the swinging-gate conveyance of the klamath-Blue Mtn. Linament? If one degree of latitude equals the amount of clockwise rotation per 1MA, then the linear Terrane conveyance should be the same rate, 1 latitudinal degree= @69 miles NW per MA (4-3/8ths" per year.) A steady rate would take the Croked River Caldera @3MA to convey @212 miles from its eruptive point on the Yellowstone Hotspot track @NE bank of the Upper Alkali Lake, CA. (present location.) If what I strongly suspect is correct, the motive force behind all of the NW rotation and conveyances are from all of the California Assemblages, blocks and Terranes lined up like trucks on a multi-lane freeway in the same NNW direction from Baja, via the East Pacific Rise divergent mantle flow beneath.
It's a petrified giant tree stump. NOT 29 million years old, not a super volcano.. The lies are never ending.You're being lied to on a scale of the wizard of oz or the truman show.

Apparently, you don't live in Oregon.
Pretty cool. As a Geologist, formerly from Oregon, I find your discussion very interesting.
Fun n fascinating content Nick.
In my old volcanology book the rehyolithic tuff of pyroclastic flows was named "chaotic tuff"
Thanx professor 📚
Terrorbone, Oregon
it is amazing the eartb formation
What?!?! Nick, I took your geology course at CWU!!! AWESOME vid and AWESOME class!!!
On my wish list now to visit! (daydreaming about 2021 and beyond)
Me too!
great stuff , thank Nick!
The high temperature made the ash harden to rock you can climb.

Maybe use your internet connection yo learn about geology or the physical limits of a tree doing work against gravity
