  • The Early Paleozoic Era includes the Cambrian and Ordovician periods from ~542 - 444 million years ago. At the beginning of the Cambrian, the continents were breaking up from a Precambrian supercontinent (Rodinia then Pannotia). The two major landmasses that resulted from this supercontinent split were Gondwana and Laurentia. Laurentia underwent major flooding due to sea level rise in the Cambrian period, which deposited marine sediment far inland of the continental margin and can be found in the rock record of the North American continent today. The deposits from this sea level rise and flooding is called the Sauk transgression which overlies the Great Unconformity.
    The Cambrian was also a period with numerous mass extinctions. Some of the Cambrian extinctions are associated with climate change, but some Cambrian extinctions remain unexplained, and may be due to evolutionary experimentation.
    The Ordovician brought glaciation in the southern hemisphere on Gondwana which lowered the sea level after the Sauk transgression and caused major climate change leading to the first of the Big 5 mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic Eon.
    The Ordovician also marked tectonic events that built mountains, namely, the first orogeny in a series of mountain building collisions that built the Appalachians, the Taconic Orogeny.
    The Burgess Shale formed at the base of the passive margin of Laurentia during the Early Paleozoic and perfectly preserved many soft-bodied Cambrian organims that would not have been preserved if it wasn't for this pristine, anoxic presevation environment.

    I live in southern Québec, where most outcrops are composed of Ordovician rocks. It is not as fossil rich as other places in North America, but it has been a pleasure finding nicely preserved Calymenes trilobites, as well as orthoceras and crinoids (usually all broken down). Sadly, the place where I use to go fossil hunting was an abandoned quarry that's been converted into a residential development now. So it's off-limits to fossil hunters.
    I have also extracted a beautiful coral branch (75cm long) from Anticosti island a few decades ago, when fossil hunting was not controlled there. I have framed it and it's on my office wall!

    The Early Paleozoic, meaning “Ancient Life” when the oldest life forms like vertebrates and land dwelling plants first appeared, Mother Nature testing out her creations. It’s just absolutely astonishing to think about how life first started out in this world and how far it’s come since then and all of the crazy changes that this planet constantly went through.

    Fascinating (as Spock use to say)! The GU (Great Unconformity) has always fascinated me, especially after observing it in the Grand Canyon. World wide is it mappable or could it be confused with a plethora of other time related unconformities? Perhaps it resulted from a generalized uplift of Rodinia prior to its break up. Love your choice of topics. They always make one think which typically results from a very engaging and thought provoking teacher. As always, keep up your great works.

There are many more that I don't know, all over the Colorado Plateau, wherever the Mesozoic strata have been faulted and eroded down to the basement rocks. You will know it when you see it, as it's a much darker layer of contorted metamorphic rocks, usually overlain by lighter, sandier sedimentary rocks.

    As I travel to go hiking often, I was in the Smokey Mountains last year and examined some of the rocks as I climbed the tallest mountains on that southern end of the Appalachian.
    -My question, would I be able to tell at a glance which ones are uplifted turbidites vs molasse vs flysch? I think I might guess the flysch by the layering that is revealed via erosion (or maybe I’m completely wrong), but the other 2 less so.
    -Secondly, for the volcanic rock, what inclusions, rose/smokey quarts or calcites or fuchites or jaspers etc, might one find from the Taconic Orogeny? If I go back, it would be great to know what to look for.

      @@GEOGIRL Yep, the /ta/ in "Taconic" is the "Schwa-e" that a lot of our de-stressed vowels in English turn into.
      And yes, the stress is definitely on the second-syllable, which is pronounced like /kah/ and not /koh/.
      Again, it has to do with the fact that New York was once New Netherlands. There is, in fact, a park that shares the name with the mountains, but retains the original Dutch version: "Lake Taghkanic State Park."
        That "gh" would not have been silent, BTW, but represented the way that Modern Dutch pronounces the letter "g": A voiced-velar fricative. [You can of course look that up on Wikipedia, but as a preview: Think "'ch'-as-in-'loch'" but with the vocal-chords turned on. Now think of what the name of the city of "Poughkeepsie" would've sounded like back in the days of the Dutch!]
      Another neat thing about the Taconics: The tallest point in their range is Mt. Greylock in Massachusetts. The northernmost outcropping of it is Mt. Philo in Vermont. The Taconics run along the NY-MA and NY-CT border, but bend and start running northeast-southwest around the border of Dutchess and Putnam Counties. Most of Putnam County, NY, is rock from the Taconics. Mt. Beacon, Bear Mountain, and the Hudson-Highlands are all part of the Taconics. I forget what happens to them in NJ and PA, if they even run that far south.

    Gondwana means 'land of the Gonds,' so 'Gondwanaland' is redundant-not that you used that in the video, but I've even seen the mistake made in scientific papers. Also, it's spelled 'siliciclastic.' (Okay, no more grammar Nazi, have a great day!)

      Great timing for this comment, I just got a new mic! haha So I'm really excited to use it (although I just tested it a couple days ago and it didn't sound that different to me so I think I either don't have a good ear for audio or I just don't know how to set it up...) Any tips for using mics would be greatly appreciated, thanks! (I know a lot about geoscience but embarassingly little about tech lol)

    instead of just fumbling and saying 'i read these words more than i hear them' you can just... google how to pronounce it. almost every single word had pronunciation guides. people trying to educate on topics, especially scientific ones, should know how to pronounce and talk about the things they're explaining. if not, then it just looks lazy--and honestly, like a middle schooler presentation copy pasted from wikipedia.
    it takes 2 seconds to google it vs panicking in every single video about not knowing the pronunciation

    I was concerned at your cavalier approach to the Geologic facts. Not knowing the correct pronunciation of a vocabulary word is deplorable. Do you only recite someone else's words, from a book? What, you have no access to Associations of Geologists? I will not subscribe to your channel.

    • @GEOGIRL

      I am getting my PhD in geology and belong to 8 geoloical associations :) I only mispronounce terms because I read them rather than hear them. I apologize that it has discouraged you from subscribing. The goal of my channel is to provide geological and geoscience-adjacent information to wide audiences because I felt that geology was underrepresented on social media and is often misunderstood by the general public. With every video, I am not reciting knowledge that I have always had, I am reciting knowledge that I just learned from weeks of research. I do this because I have access to journals and textbooks that most do not have access to. I hope I will continue to get better with my delivery and someday maybe you'll subscribe ;) I really appreciate your candid feedback though, so thank you very much!

    I watched this in hopes to get a better idea what kind of fossil I found yrs ago while working in forestry. It's like a T shaped bone about the size of a scone or turnover I guess. You can even see where the bone broke off and there's fossilized bone marrow it's really cool but it's hard to explain something that is a t-shaped as far as size but it was about 30 yards deep roughly just sticking out of the side a ditch we dug with a machine obviously ha. This really didn't help me though it was interesting. When I go down to Kentucky to our home front the runoff Creek takes a sharp gouge out of the wall and you can see the layers of shale and there's a ton of fossils there but not like the fossil I found. The fossil I have came from the very good sized animal bigger than a dog probably about the size of something that would be 200 lb. Of course I have no expertise in the field, nor do I have a really cool CZcams channel where I get to teach people stuff. I just thought I'd reach out and say hey if you want a photo of my really cool fossil let me know. Maybe you could help me out, or get me headed in the right direction. Possibly tell me what it belonged to. It's pretty neat. It even has these white spiral shape things in it. I'd like to know what those are if you could help me there. They almost look like....hmm...tadpoles like white tadpoles that got into the Rock it's really strange I've never seen a fossil that looks like it, but I haven't viewed too many fossils. Most of the fossils I get around here are just old seabed fossils cuz I live in Indiana. We have the huge Limestone deposits and a ton of geodes. Mostly a lot of small marine creatures like shells and crustaceans, but nothing like what I got lucky enough to find that day at work. You're about the third or fourth person I've reached out to, unfortunately no one has ever got back with me. You should hit me up. Maybe it's a missing link or something. Maybe it's the rare answer to an age old question sitting right here in my cabinet just waiting to be discovered. It would be great if you did. I'd like to get to the bottom of this question of mine. Keep doing what your doing, you are an intelligent, amazing, beautiful human being, and your radiant light and positive personality really shines through in your videos. Very familiar to me. Your wholesome like a coup of Campbells soup in the winter after shoveling snow letting the cup warm up my fingers as I double clasp it like Martha Stewart probably does her mint julep tea in the afternoon. Lol idk, something like that, stay safe and stay curious. Feel free to hit me up on messenger or to request my phone number so I can get you a good picture with a few pictures of it like I said maybe you can point me in somebody's direction that knows what it is or maybe you can tell me what it is I don't know thank you have a nice day
