Exotic H - Cache Creek

good morning internet it is 8 44 in the morning and welcome back to the channel if you like this video please give me a big thumbs up and subscribe down below and then i'll see you at the next video ichibooch.com nora lee is in sweden she is wonderful and so are you so it's 8 44 a.m and we will begin our program at the top of the hour at nine o'clock so if you're joining us live we're not starting the actual content until nine just for those that are new to us but we always do about 15 minutes of thank yous and hellos and uh dare i say it audio visual checks today's program is focusing on the cache creek terrain appreciate you joining us today let's get a drink and see how we're doing so beautiful morning here how are we doing i'm staring into the sun but it's a morning sun i don't think it's a hot sun i don't think brian is in the uk good morning wenatchee uh patrick age seven good morning john says it looks five by five i love to read that john and i'm hoping to read more of that germany good morning university place washington calgary alberta oh boy oh so there's a bunch of stuff flying by that's interesting uh dayton ohio whidbey island good morning to you five by five in seattle five by five in texas switzerland checking in great to see you adele 5x5 bainbridge island mossy rock dubois 13 is raring to go hot damn phoenix oregon interesting more germany's edmonton alberta hello from uh down south wish i could cross the border visit you guys penticton bc oh good we've got more uh canadians today eureka california uh joanne in uh wisconsin go badgers green bay granger clay picks grandpa carl's with us sauber's from milwaukee somebody's from kitty tass southwest iowa klamath falls oregon hello jamie hungary did i see that that's wonderful brisbane australia mike not kathy mike do you know kathy from brisbane australia is it is it uh in the middle of the morning there like like three three in the morning there match from uh the oregon coast and uh chas in portland oregon tualatin oregon melbourne uh yeah australia 3am what am i doing says ian i don't know you're you're snuggled into your bed i presume ian and i hope that uh it's a sunday morning here and i hope things are going yeah michael it's almost 3 a.m wow you guys amazing isn't technology amazing when it works scotland hello great to see uh folks from distant lands i have some thank yous and i i'm i you know we had a a session to remember on friday afternoon with the phone basically melting and shutting down uh so i'm mentally prepared for about anything vancouver bc good so uh i'll keep one eye on this but i i'm just gonna hope for the best some thank yous pat from tacoma sorry i missed you i think you visited with liz and you went to vinman's bakery this episode of nick from home brought to you by vinman's bakery you gotta love it so thanks for half of baguette pat just kidding beautiful baguette this long and liz and i enjoyed half of it last night with our supper so thanks for watching and thanks for the bread i keep wanting to use the uh bucket of passive margin rocks from sharon in colville you remember her gift uh from a few weeks ago and jim from town wanted to take a good hard look at these rocks so he he borrowed the bucket for a while and they're back now passive margin not our topic today but i wanted to thank sharon and calvi one more time see now i've already got more of bob's uh apple cider has fresh apple cider and the uh the insects are interested in it so mistake so i have two main thank yous two big boxes that arrived this was out in front of the house uh from dick in uh in our valley a very kind note dick thank you and some stuff for liz and a tractor trailer to remind you of the farm in wisconsin about the same year of the tractor uh yeah okay so dick has some uh gifts for liz and i let me share them with you so dick shared a prized kind of teaching sample i remember some of these from my youth these little rock samples that are glued into the bottom of a box and then sampled so i'll put these to use at school dick thank you and uh this is a classic uh rock and mineral id book from the audubon society thank you dick it's like is that what dick gave uh liz nope dick's one of those craftsmen so in the box are gifts for liz and me i guess i i make an appearance in the kitchen on occasion would you call these trivets i think you'd call these trivets and they are beautiful beautiful blonde wood and a cute little baby cutting board and that's not all one more item made out of wood by dick here in the valley dick saw the nick on the fly episode from wisconsin where i was on the farm that i grew up in and i was talking about tractor that i used to drive and the hay wagon i used to pull or the tractor and the baler and then my dad's on the back wagon bucking the bales so amazing craftsmanship dick uh thank you this will be in my office along with the creations by steve and by pat uh miller and others thank you very much and one more thank you another box this one arrived earlier in the week but i wanted to save it for today from waterford michigan from john c john in michigan beautiful card john thank you for your heartfelt comments the box so i'm giving it away he's a craftsman also making things out of wood he made a box his figured maple and purple heart with michigan native copper but you have to tell me how placer gold got into the mines in the slate creek area of washington i don't know john maybe maybe we'll discover that together once we get to the north cascades in this series but so far we're still up in bc so you want to see the what john created morning this is heavy this is a work of art john and the head the lid is heavy and there's a little gift inside a felt bottom from john in michigan and a beautiful very hard dense piece of native copper from michigan glistening in the morning sun wow you john it'll never get old uh gary says 10 silver by the way thank you for that gary buzzkill all right three minutes a few more hello the netherlands marcel uh okay i see the i see the dreaded evil word buffering uh if we have a bunch more buffering reports i'm switching over to data and uh we just give up on the wi-fi setup i'm a little further away from the house jackie's five by five would you mind we got three minutes we got almost 600 people if it's mostly five by five i'm not gonna i'm not gonna bother changing the live scroll is um good a lot of five by fives the live scroll is a little odd this morning for me on my end it's like kind of frozen and then it a bunch of stuff zips by frozen's the wrong word oh boy we got a friend i'm seeing a lot of five by fives plus i see bijou the cat so i'm i'm pleased at the moment hello finland hey hey these guys would like to say hi they know that you're usually out here on sunday mornings yeah they know that you're usually out here on sunday mornings and you know mom's still here but she's going to be gone in a second and i'm going to open the door a crack although mom will probably close it but did you want to say hi to these guys what have you what have you seen this morning anything what kind of report are you a field reporter are you going to make a little video a little two-minute video about what you found out here yep well the neighbors are real busy moving in had a brief conversation with them but they're out this morning so we'll see what kind of noises you might hear behind me carol says you need a cat door yeah i don't know oh boy look at this we are basking we are basking in the sun all right well we're approaching the top of the hour and i guess i need to start getting my head right it feels like i'm forgetting something i thanked what i wanted to thank i thanked who i wanted to thank i think we're ready yeah i know you don't hear a lot of the stuff i can hear but still it makes me feel better to report on all these distractions i'm dealing with that's that's on me i got everybody last episode relax relax relax we can't hear it well penny age ten hello penny pizza says hi all right i still see the word buffering but i'm going to ignore it what the frick i see a few more sorry patrick i'm going to ask one more time can i ask one more time before we start that's enough for me thank you by five i'll see you in a minute okay you're gonna stay there for a little while i'm going to open this a crack sure glad they can't hear me i'm sure glad this is not a hot mic i'm gonna keep this open just to crack for bijou okay yeah that's a hot mic all right coming in hot let's see what are we talking about today um hmm glaciers maybe glaciers yeah i think we'll start talking about glaciers that'll be good glaciers good it's decided well hey there and how do you do good morning welcome to the backyard here in ellensburg washington usa my name is nick and i teach geology at the college here in town and i'm learning a bunch of new stuff every time we do one of these i'm reporting on stuff that i just learned hours ago and it's invigorating and satisfying and it has not been crippling yet it will be crippling at some point this fall where i will throw up my hands and go i can't figure this out but so far things have fallen into place for my brain the best that i can hope for and i hope some of these concepts are satisfying to you as well the topic today is cache creek that's an exotic terrain best exposed up in canada uh we were talking about quinnelia exotic terrain material last time so we'll be referring back to cornelia and then i have no idea what we're doing next friday and next sunday i have some ideas but i don't so i i just contradicted myself i have some vague ideas but i'm not sure exactly how we will proceed but i got to be honest first off as i was starting to think seriously about the cache creek terrain i almost said ah screw it let's just skip over that it's such a small terrain let's just go right to stacina but before i officially changed the title and made a new little mini chalkboard and the whole thing uh i just dove in as hard as i could to some of the cash creek literature and there's good stuff with cash creek so i'm very pleased that i stuck with the plan of doing a cash creek episode and i hope that you'll see why but to be honest i think before we start with that the here goes the sandals the sandals are off getting warmed up getting ready to go i think to get into that i think i want to take one mini step backwards if you don't mind and the mini step backwards is to going back to a couple of themes that i have covered already but i want to revisit just just for a touch it'll set up our cache creek discussion so you've seen this by now multiple times early sessions a b and c for instance we had old north america and we had all these exotic terrains and spokane washington and john stockton's house i just tripped over bijou is the boundary between old north america and the exotic terrain and the analogy i have started to use and will continue to use is that the exotic terrain is like a fruitcake from dareth in madison wisconsin go badgers and you can see in a fruitcake there's all these different constituents of different textures of different colors of different histories and this green thing was made at some point in time and this other thing has a different history and this nut has a different history and that date and that whatever okay still don't really know what's in the fruitcake but i revisit that concept to say this when i first started learning about exotic terrains in the 1980s and we were reading brand new exotic terrain papers from jim monger and davey jones and a bunch of others that don't come to my mind at the moment chris yorath who will visit in the cozy fort today the concept i had and possibly they were even reporting it as this the concept i had is that every one of these pieces of the fruitcake came from the other side of the pacific and it was mainly fossils that were in some of the pieces in the fruitcake that told us of a distant distant origin like it didn't form just offshore it was traveling thousands of miles pieces of the fruitcake the exotic terrains coming from thousands of miles away well what did we do last time we talked about quinnelia and what was the main message from cornelia do you remember the basement of quinnelia is a part of north america and yes that piece of north america got out to sea in the pacific and yes there was some volcanism and some limestones and some corals and we were out in the pacific but this was not quinnelia if you didn't catch that one of the main messages from last time cornelia didn't come from the other side of the ocean quinelli did not travel 3000 miles across the ocean almost certainly and so right off the bat i'm viewing some of these pieces of the fruitcake differently than i did before muffler boy and so i want to do something on a whiteboard right off the bat which is essentially getting us back into this trying to visually emphasize that quinnelia is not coming from across the ocean and then i can't hold it the star here for the cache creek terrain everybody agrees the cache creek terrain did come from clear over in the other side of the pacific ocean over by asia the southwest pacific and so we'll look at maps from chris gautis talk to chris uh yourath in the cozy fort a couple of other things up my sleeve but so far we have a semi local that's probably too strong but not from across the ocean and for the first time we are going to find some evidence to prove that the cache creek terrain came from across the ocean so what have i done on the white board i want to emphasize the more local history of quinnelia and a few of you and maybe more that we're not typing in the live chat were a little confused by rifting i was talking about rifting and there's actually two rift events that we've already talked about so let's go to the whiteboard he goes to the whiteboard whiteboard one is a very quick reminder i'm not going to spend the whole session on this we've already done it a quick reminder that quinnellia the bedrock in cornelia goes from 390 up to 170 there's an old north america basement with these kinds of rocks and then the thing is out in the ocean and we have the cave mountain limestone exposed near tonasket unfolded by the way originally in the copper just like the copper from the gentleman in from john in michigan the copper is a big part of that story and then our slide mountain terrain there's a bunch of deep ocean floor material that got involved in the quinnellia story so quinellia slide mountain new ready new so to basically visualize some of the main points before we start talking about cache creek here's kind of the last few sessions especially if you have watched but are kind of losing some of the main points during the pre-cambrian between 1.5 and 1.4 billion years ago the continent of australia asterisk because we're not totally sure it was australia most think it's australia now but some still think other continents doesn't matter australia was connected to john stockton's house in spokane then we have a major rifting event 750 million years ago rift in uppercase rift and we have australia rifting away from north america opening the pacific the early pacific for the first time and here's our passive margin sediments being deposited on both shores is this the belt not really the belt was that sedimentary material that straddles both of these guys back here these are the ages for the belt but this is the passive margin stuff the bucket of passive margin rocks from sharon and colville that's not the rift we were talking about yesterday last time with quinnelia so if we take just this western margin of north america from this time and now we zoom in here's the passive margin i don't have a brown marker otherwise would have made the passive margin brown for you but now 360. 360 million years ago we have a second rifting event this is the one i was talking about last time lower case rift not even an exclamation point to to talk about a a different story and in this case it's a part of old north america with passive margin sediments that are rifting away and the slide mountain ocean floor is showing up in between at 290 million years ago we have the maximum width of the slide mountain ocean again if you're confused slide mountain is up in northern bc the mountain exposes some of this ocean floor material there was no mountain out there try not to get hung up on the naming of some of this please so this slide mountain ocean is at its max 290 quinelli is now actively erupting material and we have volcanics and limestones and everything else that is for sure the quinella volcanic ark which was our main story do you remember the quinellia was our oceanic ocean island ark and the slide mountain is the ocean sediments but then the last part of the story before we go to the cache creek the topic of today is between 290 and 180 we close the slide mountain and it's gone except for a little bit of basically glue some of that ocean floor material maybe the spreading ridge itself is squished between the quinelli volcanic ark with an old basement of north america reunited with north america and we're kind of back to where we started but the difference is we have this new volcanic arc called quinellia added in and as i mentioned last time we're going to realize pretty quickly it was not just quinnelia out there during this time cornelia was hooking up with other volcanic material and hooking up with the cache creek terrain whatever the hell that is and that's where we go right now okay i feel better doing that i hope that it worked for you was it good for you it was good for me nick there are children watching cash creek you ready i hereby declare that on our maps cash creek terrain will be a silver gray he goes to the map he found a silver gray colored pencil i've added a few towns and i got to tell you one of the reasons i like what i'm doing here is that quite often you have terrain maps from bc maybe that includes the yukon but washington's kind of left off or vice versa detailed terrain map of washington bc's kind of left off so for me this is helpful to see basically ellensburg to the north slope of alaska kind of in one frame so do you see the gray that's our cache creek and i've added some cities williams lake is a town that's firmly in cache creek there is a town called cache creek there is a town called quinnell it's just barely on the blue the royal blue okay so is there a different story with cache creek isn't it just another one of these scraps of things that came in it's not just another one of those things so let's hit the main message right off the bat before i lose your interest or lose your focus cash creek is mostly limestones that have been turned to marble in places with unique microfossils that formed when those microfossils were alive those little critters were in the southwest pacific that's the headline event for today this guy came all the way across it was a trans-pacific journey coming from asia and ending up in north america and we want to look at the evidence for that but the cash creek is definitely an exotic story if you want exotic with a with an exclamation point behind it then that's what we've got okay we'll get to the stratigraphy of quinnelia sorry we'll get to the stratigraphy of cache creek and do a couple other things before we go to the cozy fort but i want to remind you from marley's book we have royal blue there is no cash creek in this cross section there is no obvious cache creek exposed in washington but especially by next sunday i think you'll see that there probably is some crash creek running through washington and you'll see why i think that with you uh more review from last time in royal blue we have quinnelia being folded slide mountain being folded the passive margin being folded everybody being folded and even thrust vaulted when we finally accrete the quinnelia story and we'll keep coming back to this but that's an event that's 180 170 some even say 160 million years here's a map uh from ron blake legal badgers showing western north america i put in some u.s states did i even bother with yeah i guess i did i put in a couple of provinces the concept is we've got stuff coming off of the ocean but we're really now starting to wonder like where is the original origin dom where did these things get formed are each of these lines of japan-like islands coming from just offshore and the answer is no at least in the case of cache creek in fact cache creek wasn't even a big island still just trying to get you into this here i can't hold it this is uh something i found recently an aeromagnetic compilation by finn in 1998 so you're doing a bunch of magnetic signature stuff i don't even know the physics of it but uh the point is he's seeing not only a bunch of cornelia beneath eastern washington in other words beneath the flood basalts but i want you to take mental note of this dashed line that he has in here and i'll read it to you because it's very difficult to read the white text intra quinella fault question mark is there a big fault running through the royal blue i'm now setting the hook for things we're going to do weeks from now that's enough okay to the cash creek for the rest of today ready paint planes flying overhead plane boy the weather has been unreal here lately beautiful so let's use the same format that we used with quinellia and slide mountain i was generally kind of pleased with it i was going to write this all out on the board and then you know i was having such a trouble with the technology last time that i just said i'll just show you my notes basically and using the stratigraphy that i just shared with you on the whiteboard we decided that quinelli was mostly a volcanic ark story built on some old north american basement rock and the slide mountain is this old stuff but i i showed not only the age range of the bedrock in those two exotic terrains but also our kind of interpretations of what we're doing and i remind you that i'm not doing a lot of plate reconstructions here for a bunch of reasons that will be clear to you once the fall goes on so let's leave quinellia wrong color and go to cache creek wrong color silver gray right for us but we're still talking about co-evil terrains meaning the bedrock of quinelia and cash creek are the same vintage but that's about where the similarities stop the bedrock ages of both of these guys are about the same and they're sitting side by side together right now i mean we saw the the the master map which i've already lost okay let's go to it so if i do this and then i come in like this is this even visible first of all kind of so look at how clever i am first of all i'm trying to use gray instead of blue because we're switching over to cache creek oh screw it let's just do this first okay so there's a lot on here main messages in sharpie muffler boy also a bunch of small notes just for me basically this is how i write write out notes by the way if you ever do public speaking are you like a flash card person or like index card or like how do you do it i just make a bunch of cartoons for myself and and put notes right on the cartoon okay so the main message is rock types there are two main rock stories with the cache creek the most famous are these carbonate platforms so carbonates are basically limestone layers and limestones form in warm shallow water limestones but the limestones the carbonates so limestones dolomites we metamorphosed them a little bit they become marble but there's platforms they're kind of beautiful continuous layers of this limestone we'll just call them limestone limestone layers but there's a relationship between that limestone that carbonate material in the shallow water and what appears to be big old sea mounts and i'm guessing many of you know what a c-mount is it's a it's a big mountain that's totally underwater like the pacific if you look at a bathymetric map of the pacific ocean floor today you'll see i don't know there must be hundreds of seamounts out there most famously tied to the hawaiian hot spot but let's not get into hot spots just the idea is we have one main constituent of the cash creek terrain are these famous carbonate platforms you'll see why in a second and it looks like those carbonate platforms are associated with major sea amounts and in my mind you need a seamount to get the water to be shallow i mean these these limestones are not forming at the bottom of the oceans it needs to be warm shallow water marine water and so we need to be you know pretty close to sea level when we're actually making the limestone so the sea mount idea is part of the story let's get right to it why are the carbonates why the limestone so famous well i've already mentioned to you why but let me expand on it the limestones mostly are in this age window here 290 million years ago to 255 big deal who cares well here's why we care there are amazing microfossils fossils that you can only see with a microscope and those fossils this is a weakness of mine i don't know much about paleontology but the fossils are tethian fossils i'll explain what tethian means in a second and i'll also just jot down a couple names of these microfossils even though i don't really know what i'm talking about fuselinids 4m and nephra maybe the same thing i don't know and joanne nelson we're going to go to her book i think we'll go right now actually she tells us that there's a specific fuselinid called yabina that's what i'll go with yabina fossils and they are about the size of fat grains of wheat and those yabina fossils that are in the limestone of this age within the cache creek exotic terrain is the star of our show today because those yabina fossils according to the paleontologists who first discovered these back in the 1950s by the way can you imagine finding these incredibly exotic microfossils above cache creek british columbia and going these are like you find these in china you find these in southeast asia you don't find them here in north america what's up like this is somebody talking to himself in 1950 1953 before we knew about moving tectonic plates but this business of finding these exotic quote unquote tethian microfossils is the evidence that tells us that the crash creek material with limestone and seamounts traveled thousands of miles across the ocean let's go to joann's book there's other people involved but i'm just picking on i'm selecting joanne because i uh we met her last time in the cozy fort and uh there's more to come with joanne by the way so this i shared this last time this is joanne's book with some other co-authors and uh i have a bookmarked page where she shows us one of these fat grains of wheat yabina i'm sure i'm pronouncing it incorrectly and she's also can i see what i'm doing here not really uh this is marble canyon in central british columbia i can't see here here we go marble canyon so these little yabina guys are at the microscopic level inside of these amazing limestone and other carbonate platform beds within the cache creek terrain you're like am i missing something i don't see why those little yabina things tell us that it's a it's a very far-traveled story we're getting there i've also been using this roadside geology book of just southern british columbia by jim monger who's a big name and bill matthews i don't know him i i haven't met any of these folks i don't know who's still with us and who's not but monger's name in particular is everywhere with this exotic terrain stuff even from the early days so this book is talking about thin bedded radiolarian chert that's coming in just a second that's something a little different than what we're talking ah screw it something different i'm just giving you a sense from this book on page 207 that there's many different forms to these radiolarians so now we're in the deep sea almost mistake to show you this now but you can keep track of time by the the changing morphology the evolution of these uh these tiny critters i took a paleontology class once and i uh i had a hard time staying awake just since we're doing book stuff hey do you know this one this is the third is it the third third edition by bill orr i'm a fan of bill down in oregon and he's written these geology of the pacific northwest books as well as geology of oregon books they all have kind of a similar look and one of the hallmarks of his books are these very unique looking so here's bill talking about the exotic terrains of british columbia like almost like a jigsaw puzzle and uh you know so he's and he's a fossil guy so uh i did an email bill in this case i almost did but uh i think i kind of learned what i needed to learn for today okay so that's i got to finish that thought so what does tethian mean and how are we sure that those let's just call them forearms that those four m's are so from so far away well i've always heard about the tethys c but i never really had a picture of it in my mind and you know the internet's pretty amazing i gotta say you can learn a lot in a short amount of time you google things you click on images you click on maps you fo you find a pdf of a paper i mean man what a what an age we're living in and i love simple maps like this so this is from 200 million years ago a little bit younger than we need for the limestones that we were talking about right our limestones we're talking about are between 290 and 225. now 255. and i got a map from 200 it's a little young but this is the tethys sea and this is the western margin of us north america so i mean there's still kind of a fragment of the tethy stee that's still with us it's called the mediterranean sea but if we're back at this time of pangaea and we are pangaea is about to break apart in this map the main message i don't know do i want to show you that can i find it nope the main message is as i understand it those yabina guys are fossils that are found in these areas today and those are all exotic terrains that used to be out in the tethys sea now we're talking you know we live on a ball right kyrie irving doesn't think that but most of us think we live on a sphere on a ball the globe is the world is round okay great so so what we're going to do here in case you're losing it is we have our eubeena fossils during this late permian time 290 to 255 and we're going to have those yabina fossils get locked into some rock limestones on seamounts and they're still here way here in this the south this is the southwest early pacific and we're going to somehow get these guys to go east east east east east and add to the edge of north america and i have a date for when we're going to add it to north america so this map would even be better i think if we if we were focused we had centered this on the pacific and showed this journey but i think we can do it mentally can't we so if you see tethy's or tethian fossils in our discussion today or next time or in your reading tethy's microfossils here in the american west north american west means long transport a trans-pacific journey and you're like okay but i don't get how you're going to move that how are you going to move these did i draw a picture yeah how are you going to move these sea mounds uh let's say more than 2 000 miles from the western pacific to the eastern pacific and add them on the edge of north america well the answer is we're going to have a moving ocean floor and you're like oh really which which plate we're going to stay away from plates that's a whole other ball of wax please let's just hold off let's just hold off that's what i mean about plate reconstructions it's very difficult to restore which plate was moving which direction and where a subduction zone was and when did the plate change its direction we're going to get lost in a hurry i think if we try doing that but my main message is we've got these yabina microfossils these forams that formed off the coast of china let's say and they're here now in central british columbia quite a ways inland from the ocean i might add right i mean we're going to be adding a bunch more terrains i got to find our map i got to find our map this is kind of a big point and it was really one of the main observations that got people very interested in these exotic terrains to begin with once you come on once you realize that our silver gray has stuff from offshore of china it's pointing to the wrong stuff silver gray right silver cray cash creek once we realize this is exotic truly exotic traveled across the pacific and you realize that we got all this extra stuff that's going to be added outboard since this time i guess that means all this stuff is exotic how can you argue the other way how can you argue that everything out here was made in north america and this is all made in north america and then you got this little strip of stuff from china and now that i say that here's a little spoiler for next time our next terrain to add is a big one the biggest exotic terrain in british columbia it's called stikenia and it has basement of old north america just like quinnelia does so that's been a problem for a long time and joanne and others have a model now to explain why you have exotic offshore of china terrain sandwiched between two terrains quinelli and stikena that have origins here in old north america hope you're still with us now there's another part is it starting to heat up i hope not enough to shut down the phone i'm starting to heat up that's that's my uh end right now of the tethian story we'll have chris go tease's uh two uh videos from scotis in the cozy fort to help us kind of keep an eye on the tethys and uh possible transport by the way i have this i don't know if this would be helpful to you scotis does a better job than this but how's the focus can you read this this is just looking at north america let me come out and come back in again this is just north america in the last what does that say oh it's upside down [Laughter] good stuff good stuff this is north america in the last 600 million years 650 million years so i have gotten some emails and some other comments like pretty interesting basic questions like um you said some terrains come through the arctic but north america at the time you're talking about is straddling the equator so why are you saying arctic well the answer is it's just easy to say if and that's coming next time if terrains are coming through an area between asia and north america even in the literature they're called arctic terrains even though yes we're not truly at the arctic on the planet today we okay there and then there's other questions that are interesting and quite simple like you keep seeing these terrains are coming in and adding but isn't north america moving a direction like who's hitting who are the terrains more stationary in north america's plowing into them like your brakes go out in your truck and you kind of blast through a intersection with a bunch of pedestrians whoa was harsh or are the pedestrians running towards your windshield and throwing themselves on your windshield those are the terrains or both somebody running towards an oncoming speeding vehicle boy that took a turn all right we got it what is is the cash creek then only limestone the answer is no is it just the sea mounts with limestone on top no that's the main story but there's an interesting other collection of rocks and now i'm fighting some shadows i'm hoping that you can read properly wow i like the sun i like the sun don't get me wrong but i i can't see very well 350 to 180 so in other words if you formally want the oldest and the youngest rocks in the cash gauge terrain we go 350 to 180. but our very sexy limestones with very distant exotic locations is a subset of that so what's this well there's slices or slivers of a whole collection of rocks that tell a unique story and hardcore fans know what i'm about to say if you have a bunch of slices of ribbon shirt ultramathics like cerpentonite and the serpentinite by the way in the cash creek apparently is tied to gold the gold series as it's called locally apparently uh basalts are delights and even blue shifts so here's an age range on the blue shifts that's all telling a story of this so the cash creek terrain is ocean sea mounds with very famous carbonate platforms on top but the cash creek terrain is also a melange and a melange means the same thing as subduction complex and subduction complex means the same thing as a cretionary wedge or a creationary complex they're all the same thing actually there's no no it's all the same it's all the same and i've drawn a picture for you of a subducting ocean plate beneath another ocean plate and you're like what's the name of those plates let's not go there let's not go there please generic ocean floors colliding and subducting therefore we have a trench therefore we have stuff from this ocean floor and even pieces of the ocean floor getting scraped off of this downgoing ocean plate and added on like i used to shovel back in scotty i used to the shovel very wet snow big old heavy you know sturdy snow shovel and as you're going down that sidewalk i used to shovel from mrs urban three houses down like 5 30 in the morning on a school morning in january i'm out there shoveling this wet snow and this wet snow on the shovel is accumulating right as i push the shovel how as i push the shovel i'm going to accumulate a bunch of that snow in a big growing mound on the blade before i kick it off into the yard and keep going so like a snow shovel like some sort of bulldozer with a big old blade on it we're going to accumulate all this very complicated material that's why we have slivers or slices of this material in a very chaotic mixture you can think of washington's olympic peninsula as long as it's a marine version as long as the olympic peninsula is underneath ocean water that's the only thing i ask but if you know the geology of much of the at least the western half of the olympic peninsula it is an accretionary wedge and yes i know california has a version and you've got other wedges near your home i got it but the point is we have two visuals then for the cache creek and to reconstruct exactly which ocean plates and actually to reconstruct actually to reconstruct uh is the ocean plate diving to the west or the east or the north or the south that's damn hard as well but the point is all of these rock types whether they're slices or whether they tell a bit more of a coherent story are all together in this cache creek terrain definitely worth breaking this out as a separate session he checks his notes to see if there's anything else oh yeah so in green i got everything else in green i had to look pretty hard for it but i think this is a real date maybe somebody will correct me but i think 230 million years ago is a good date for the accretion of much of the seamount limestone stuff onto quinelli now we're getting sexy you ready 230 million years ago is a a bulk part of the cash creek terrain adding to quinnelia but that's a time when quinnelia is not connected to north america so we're getting fancy aren't we we realize quinnelia has a north american start quinelli is out by itself a majority of cash creek is being added to quinelli when it's out there and why not let's keep going it's not just quinellia out there when cash creek is coming in 230 million years ago there's taquinia there's the yukon tanana there's a couple others i don't know anything about yet so you can see how we can get lost in the details i hope i think you can see how we could be up in northern bc and the yukon in alaska for all fall but i remind you that i don't want to do that i remind you my main focus my main goal is to ultimately understand some of the relationships in northern washington and i'm up in bc only there's a number of reasons i'm in bc but the main reason master map master map the main reason i'm in bc is to understand some basic relationships before we go into the hornet's nest and i got to get a i got to get a good easy place i can find the master map each time that's a dumb name for it anyway i need a better me what a we need a good name for this thing a master map sounds dirty so yeah we're not bringing these in one at a time from distant places and i think you have that message now okay it's quarter to ten kind of about where i want it to be bija's getting hungry he's still out here rubbing on my leg i've tripped over him three times now and we're on to folder three which is the last of the three acts to our performance here and it is a performance i guess do you remember her from last time i received one email quickly from her and i think i'm going to get more from her in the next few days she's giving a big talk on monday there's a big talk with a big session with her and jim monger apparently and some others who are kind of i don't even have the context of the session but it's it's online and i hope they record those i think it's a zoom thing or whatever so she's probably getting ready for tomorrow's talk but i'm such a fan without ever meeting her such a fan of what she's done with this book and it's not just the book which of course is kind of a sanitized version to forge general consumption you can you know what i mean i mean these this is the sweet spot that i've talked about for this series i don't want to go in too deep or we'll lose the will to live i don't want to stay so basic that we we kind of do a disservice to all this amazing work that's been done i'm looking for the sweet spot between the gory details and the super bland geo 101 stuff and joanne is is presenting it this way but i've been also looking at her research papers uh here's joanne in 1994 talking about some of the stuff we're talking about cash creek instikenia and quinnellia and she's a co-author with mitch good luck with that i'll practice mitch is going to come back in a big way maybe in november for reasons you'll see and then i think i mentioned these two papers i shared one of them maybe with you before but maurice who i also introduced you to last time and joanne more than 10 years ago now and hopefully i'll hear from joanne this week and i basically am asking joanne are there major new developments with your work with these intermontane terrains in the last 10 years i keep saying inter montane real quickly i'll explain more next session on what i mean by that but that's all backstory to say that these maps and i'll call them joanne's maps are worth slowing down and looking at carefully and i'll just not only summarize a little bit of what we tried to do right now with cache creek and quinellia but a little teaser to look ahead to friday i'll try not to repeat what i said last time okay we're going back a ways now the yellow terrains are coming through the quote-unquote arctic even though we're less or we're we're closer to the equator than 30 degrees north we're still calling this an arctic and you know why but here on the west coast of north america there's nothing yet last time no still nothing now we're approaching so this is this is the early pacific that's the name we have for the early pacific by the way and we're starting to get a glimmer of hope for our carbonate platforms you know on the other side of the ocean basically but they're not here yet and now if you recall from our quick review at the start of this session 360 million years ago we begin our red which is our lower case rift period this is not australia leaving this is just the old north american basement of cornelia getting rifted away and i think okay is okanagan terrain now that's not okanagan in washington but if you look carefully just across the border in southern bc on some maps you'll see the okanagan terrain broken out and that's really the old exposed old north america of quinnelia my point is we don't have cash creek on this map we don't have uh really we don't have cornelia labeled as quinnelia yet because we just have this this old north america rifting away and then again i i'm real tempted to do a whole bunch on you content because it keeps coming up but we may be too far north to bother with this series but here we go notice by the time we get to 290 million years ago joanne has okay why not let's just let's just let the cat out of the bag he pauses for dramatic effect muffler boy we're going to go into oregon we're going to california and we're going to find those tethian fossils we're going to find a continuation of cache creek south of fricking washington and that's what joanne is doing she's saying by 290 million years ago we still don't have cash creek coming in what was that date doesn't matter we have a incredible collage this is what's referred to as the intermontane super terrain we're kind of almost going into next friday but i can't hold it so quinellia we've talked about that's your thing we've talked about cache creek isn't on this map yet but stokeenia next time yukon tanana eastern klamaths you got it southwestern oregon the sierra foothills above chico california and south they are all lumped together here offshore this is exciting i'm telling you this is exciting whether you believe it or not it's exciting and now 250 million years ago uh we're getting close to uh approaching and finally joanne has cash creek on a map 190 million years ago so i don't think i hit this hard enough i'm gonna hit it hard right now what is the cash creek terrain it's not one big island that's coming in like these guys were islands and by the way look at this thing getting jackknifed we'll explain why they're jackknifing that uh island arc that master island arc in a bit now we're talking about frank tanana in major league baseball history all right way to stay on point the cash creek is not one big island instead the cash creek remember is a moving conveyor belt carrying hundreds probably of sea seamounts with those carbonate platforms in shallow water and also some of this accretionary wedge junk that's going to get tacked on to some of this material i think the date was 230 million years ago so i'm still working on this but i think much of the cash creek accretionary wedge i think much of the cascade cash creek accretionary wedge was already kind of soldered on at 2 30. so shortly after this shortly 20 million years after and we already have a bunch of the accretionary wedge added on but joanne decided not to show that she just wants to show that the cash creek ocean continues to come in and here's uh i forget where this came from but a different colored version but we've got our kind of jackknifed super terrain again and then a little conceptual thing this is taken you coming next friday cache creek ocean cache creek ocean floor cache creek accretionary wedge and again we're if we just were up in bc and like telling cute little stories about exotic terrains in bc i don't think i'd be here that much for our purposes but i think i decided right now our next session we're going to bring stekenia in in british columbia but we're quickly going to go down to [Music] the blue mountains the klamath mountains uh mitchell oregon and the sierra foothills looking for our tethian fossils now that we know the tethy and fossil story with cache creek and that'll also get us into a whole another collection of bugs microfossils called the mcleod belt fauna which i still have questions about but i'm hoping to learn some more on that okay it's five minutes to the top of the hour we're going in the cozy fort uh hang on hang on hang on hang on patrick so i still i think this is special paper 4.95 somebody can correct me rob hildebrand special paper 4.95 and this is the uh i had a we have a color printer at school i had our technician print out a couple for me but i'm colors are wrong but i keep coming back to rob's map here just looking for major stories and of course you know from the goodyear blimp you can see quinnelia and cass creek and stokeenia obviously is coming next yep we're done cozy fort by steve trademark i hope you're doing well today i hope this this is the sweet spot i feel like this is the sweet spot i'm quite pleased with kind of the level of detail that we have combined with general storytelling and uh if you disagree i guess i'll read you your comments but i don't know if i'm going to change boy you are really i do you want to say hi again man i don't think you've ever been out here with us that much yeah now i know you're about ready for your meal at 10 a.m but mom left the door open for you so you can just go in yeah i'm done i'm done talking to these guys with the whiteboard and with the chalkboard i'm barely using the chalkboard these days yeah well there's a bird yeah you see those halloween decorations up there okay i got it i got to go in the cozy fort and you're not coming in with us thank you for your patience almost a thousand people okay uh i'm muting us i'm turning the volume old guy talking to himself turning the volume off there doing all this before we get in the cozy fort go away and we're all cued up i got four clips for you yep you can get in you can get in see you later time to sweat sweating with the oldies ooh i think i just called you guys oldies some of you are oldies nothing wrong with that oh yeah cozy fort by steve it appears that we're functional uh so daddy's pleased okay for those that keep saying you got to go full screen i no i don't because i want to be able to easily go to the next window okay so i mentioned i'm not going to show it again but i mentioned this idea that somebody had that wouldn't it be cool if we had viewers kind of reporting in from different terrain locations and i showed uh you know a template really for kind of a short two minute geology video i know you're hungry you can get in the house shut up talking to the cat so i don't think this was necessarily in response to that because it's uh 11 seconds long but this is dorian in germany who's an artist among a geology enthusiast he had this on instagram and i was so impressed i contacted him and had him send me the file um and it's it's kind of related to what we're doing but we might use it again down the road i've always loved flip books and what he's showing us here oh i put us on a how do i do it on a loop he's showing us something called the wilson cycle and this is really our rift that we were talking about and then bringing quinnelia back in do you remember our rift so this is slightly different because he's got two major continents rifting away and then having the two continents oh sorry coming back together oh my god 2 000 people have watched that since i put it on my youtube channel that's cool so dorian in germany well done and i will try to use this a little bit more but i just wanted to share i guess one of our field correspondents even though it really wasn't okay the volume is up i know the volume isn't strong i'm doing the best i can i got it cranked on the uh laptop and i'm gonna pull this lapel mic out of my shirt and try to get it next to where the sound comes out of the laptop and that's the best i can do it's slightly discouraging to see all these comments in the live chat but whatever you're trying to be helpful this is before i chris jorath is he still with us i'd like to contact him i haven't really looked carefully at how but back in 1993 what's with the visual here back in 19 what's going on why is that bleached out back in 1993 he made a video and apparently a book as well got a couple emails about people saying have you seen the book of called when where terrains collide the geology of western canada i haven't seen the book uh but i used to show this old vhs tape in my classroom and you know i've done a little bit of talking into a camera for um pbs and that sort of thing and sometimes the videographers want you to walk as you talk like just like walk and then just talk and like throw a rock or something at some point i'm like i'm not doing any more walking this is stupid well poor chris that's the main thing i think of when i see him he's walking every time he's he's on camera and i'm sure the director's like you got to walk as you talk like some sort of evening anchor whatever not worth pointing that out but the content is good he's going to take us to cash creek itself and show us just a little bit of the cash creek terrain that flourished in tropical waters where this terrain originated above the limestone the dark looking rocks are marine lava he's talking about poured across the limestone rain right now in excess of six kilometers thick covering all of rangeland the other terrain walking make up much of british columbia and the yukon have similar histories each is composed of rocks that formed in specific environments at different times and at different places it was the assembly of these terrains and their final collision with the ancient edge of the continent that resulted in the formation of the mountains of western canada thanks chris let's do it again let's walk and throw the rock again it begins about 200 million years ago when several terrains named stikinia quinnelia slide mountain and cache creek amalgamated into a giant super terrain called the inter montane super terrain two of these terrains stikenia quinnelia consisted of chains of volcanoes and atoll reefs that had been forming for many millions of years in southern latitudes of the ancient pacific ocean we haven't talked about strakina yet cash creek and slide mountain terrains consisted of ancient sea floor namely sediments and basalt volcanics which had formed at sea floor spreading ridges as they amalgamated some of the rocks of the cache creek terrain were caught between the colliding stikinia and cornelia when the cache creek ocean closed and its sea floor was subducted beneath cornelia let's stick with it in a sense the cache creek terrain acts as a kind of glue between stikenia and cornelia between western and eastern british columbia the people of this community of cache creek live on that glue nice job chris do it again need you to walk down the hill again a friend of mine with the geological survey in vancouver just loves this stuff this was once the floor of the ancient cache creek ocean now it's a jumbled up mess of blocks of limestone and shirt basalt and mud and god knows what all mushed together into what geologists call a melange melange is a term describing the intense disruption that occurs to rocks of the sea floor at subduction zones where one piece of crust is consumed beneath another following the amalgamation of the four terrains into the inter montane super terrain and after millions of years okay i think i already said it but i'll say it again the name of this program is called where terrains collide the geology of western canada i'm sure you'll find it uh all right we go i did email chris gautis used to be called christopher scotish by me but now it's first name chris since i heard from him just basically sent him a fan letter and said i love your work and i've been sharing some of your stuff and people are just going wild over it very thoughtful email reply and he's now at northwestern university uh in chicago and i mentioned that because uh he's gonna have chicago located on i picked two he has many i've already i've already shared his youtube channel with you i'll do it again if you like here you go right there got it so you can spend a lot of time looking at his stuff but i've selected two that kind of pertain to today and i suppose we'll keep doing it uh as we go on so just two more clips here in uh there's i can put my lapel mic back on my shirt because there's i don't have to amplify it uh so i don't know this is two minutes long yeah we'll just look at the whole thing or most of it should i remind you of our dates should i remind me of our dates oh i can still talk to you yeah uh so i'm looking for my strat column oh bees are still out here interesting so our dates for the topic today our carbonate platform on the seamounts is i think mostly confined between 290 and 255. and our big accretionary wedge our melange in other words with all that crap coming in off the ocean floor and wadding up like a snow shovel 320 to 180 and our accretion date for cash creek adding to quinnelia so far in our discussion 320. sorry 230 my my fault accretion of a majority of cache creek to cornelia and stacenya 230. chris is not going to have that detail for us but at least we can get a general concept of how our little story today fits into the grand scheme he hits play and he starts with chris's 400 million years ago we're going to go 400 million years ago i've already forgotten the dates i just gave you whatever oh good [Music] where's north america here's north america north america [Music] 290 we don't have our our long distance transport guys but here's we're rifting away there it is there's uh quinnelia that got rifted away [Music] oh wait no that's not hang on i'm killing the music i was wrong that's another story yeah he's got two riffs interesting this is this is quinelli and stikena right here and then we're gonna we're gonna bring those guys in and add them he's got them a little younger than when i said we'll just let it play too much going on here almost regret showing you this but you can imagine how much i'm going to show it to you again because i screwed up the narration on that i'm going to shut up this time and just let you see that you remember the dates i don't so i'm going to look at it keep my mouth closed probably uh and our line our long traveled limestone between 290 and 255 the melange between 350 and 180 but the accrete i'm going to remember one day 2 30. 2 30 we're going to have 230 million years ago we're going to have a bunch of cash creek stuff add to quinnelia and stokina when they're offshore 2 30 2 30 2 30. that's what i'm going to focus on i'm going to kill the music 2 30. you know where north america is now you know how to find it you know how to find the west coast those blue lines with the i can't i can't stop talking sorry the blue triangles are are basically subduction zones and you know every animation is going to look a little different regard to that two what i 230 there we go we rift quinelli away and 230 just went by us so he's got a pretty narrow slide mountain ocean i think others have quinelli and stokeenia quite a ways further out into the water and maybe we'll explain that a little bit more next time and we'll just run it to present day henry wishes north america was in the middle well you know we're not the center of the universe henry all right similar but different uh a much more aesthetically a pleasing uh version and this came out less than a year ago from chris scotis more than a year ago and we're going to start 500 this is only a minute and 30. i'm going to start 540 million years ago he's got a red dot for chicago illinois that's where he is can you see the red dot red dot chicago chicago crime pays but botany does not or something like that i got to give you the date sorry sorry canada sorry 2 30. ice age coming and going now we got some stuff offshore whoop whoop there we go quinnellia cash creek getting plastered on let's bring in cornelia boys let's bring it in let's bring in cornelia boys doink and stuff we haven't talked about yet coming in 100 million years ago doink thank you chris for your amazing work over the years and uh i basically had a bunch of questions for him like you know what got you into this is is this just a hobby or like part of your work has the academic community respected your work are you done he basically says i'm working on a new book i think he said a new book coming out in like five years or five years from now okay uh that's all i have for you in the cozy fort obviously i'm back in the sun bijou is probably inside let's do a little live q a and then we'll wrap this up uh popping the chat out like a boss and uh if you're new to us we ask questions in uppercase not so that we're shouting but just so it's easier for me to see your question yeah i watched the crime pays those guys had a the last couple had been amazing i laughed my butt off at that sandwich dolomite prairie things guys are they are hilarious and the content's really great too oh seahawks okay yeah we're up against kickoff right we're staying away from baja bc for now everything in due time uh mary why does the ancient boundary of north america stay at spokane and not move back and forth with quinelia um well mary that's interesting it's easiest mary from a teaching point of view it's easiest just to look at the edge of those passive margin sediments and say that's the edge of old north america and that that still is pretty much true this is a pretty sophisticated and local idea to take a part of that old north america rift it away and then bring it back so i guess i can answer your question by saying i guess some do put the edge of old north america at the edge of quinnelia not at the edge of old north america in the passive margin sentiments and now that i think about it again a teaser for next time we're going to have staccania out here a big old terrain big old gal and that also is going to be old north america at least basement but because there's so much exotic volcanic and and coral reef type stuff on top that's maybe the best way to answer why we don't view that as north america as old north america i hope that answered your question scrolling back 101 where can yabina fossils be found in oregon for a reporting in video are are any users close to that area um well i'm i'm working on that right now but if you can find these two papers i'm going to be reading these papers more carefully i'll give you you can take a little snapshot of that if it's in focus and a snapshot of this if it's in focus these are the science papers some papers of many that um correlate bc exotic terrains with oregon but i don't know how to answer your question because i haven't read that far yet but i know there's some stuff down there klamas is the simple answer uh maybe not the blues i don't know about the blues i need to learn before i see you next time was the quinnelia uh guillard was the quinnellia volcanic arc of subduction origin or hot spot almost certainly subduction thank you for the question asking about the volcanic ark just the fact that it's a volcanic arc implies a subduction zone a trench you know the fact that these are like string beans out there in the ocean indicate uh typically uh uh a subduction zone similar to the aleutians or new zealand or the philippines you know there's plenty of modern examples guess it's possible there's a hot spot story there too but that's too much for our brains it's not conventional to think about a hot spot thank you for your question patrick age seven when cash creek came in and was shaped like an ark did it fold in half when it accreted or did it get straightened out excellent question thank you for paying attention patrick it's sunday you're not in school you're just doing this for fun patrick that's great you're gonna have to tune in friday i know friday is tough for you but maybe mom will let you watch because that dog leg or that what did i call it jackknife is necessary to explain how stacchenia cash creek and quinnelia are arranged that's one way to answer it the other way to answer patrick is i don't totally get it yet i need to i need to make some maps for myself daryl could the cash creek exotic be tied to the theory that the shatsky rise subducted to cause the laramite rogery or is that too late okay daryl you're a hardcore guy you know about the shotsky rise like most of these things i've heard of things like up till today or up to the last couple of days i've heard of cash creek never really sat down and tried to learn it schatzki rise i heard i i hear people keep talking about the shot ski rise i don't get it i haven't looked it up yet but it's a hot topic these days it seems like so i'll once i get to the part where we look at the shotsky rise daryl i'll have a good answer for you you're probably ahead of me in that respect beezus under the tree hey are you still out here i guess liz closed the door on him tough guy tough break uh smiling llamas how do you know cash creek and stokeenia glommed onto quinnelia 230 million years ago that's an excellent question i i'm sorry to do this to you that's also coming on friday so in general it's a question of okay so you've got the bedrock of one terrain you've got the bedrock of another but how are you actually going to prove the date of when they got added and that's not just these two guys it's we're going to come up with this all the time throughout this fall how do you get a date for accretion how do you get a date for just like putting two things together um i'll give you one answer one answer is you look above those two terrains that got added what's what's it what's an analogy here's one terrain here's another terrain they have different histories we're going to consume a bunch of ocean floor the ocean is going to get smaller and smaller we're going to smash my nose here they get accreted together now all we have are the ages in this terrain and the ages in this terrain how can we prove the age of when these came together and the answer is one way to do it is to look for some layers that are sitting on top can we find some layers that are sitting on top that were deposited on top of both of these guys and if we can can we get an age for this hand and where did the set if it's sediment where did the sediment come from from this hand did the sediment come from north america or some other continent but the point is how old is my hand if we can get the age of my hand let's say my hand is 120 million years old then these two terrains had to accrete prior to 120 million years ago so stay tuned that was a great question smiling llamas a couple more and i think we're done mary again no same question price is the cash creek jackknife motion oh you all want to know about the jackknife thing related to present-day clockwise rotation i don't think so but please hold off on the jackknife this is interesting you all want to know about the jackknife business that's coming i need to read uh cat slave also asking about oregon where cash creek terrain is visible all i can say is klamus until i read more uh automatic scroll let's come back do three more thank you for all the questions why did it jackknife jackknife jackknife wow okay you are ready for the jackknife session i'm not ready for the jackknife session drew is all of old pacific plates abducted completely more or less yeah uh but i i'm pausing because i yeah my first answer is yes i'll have to think more about that this ocean plate material is just dying to return to the uh earth's interior so we have whole oceans that are just gone and yet we have the scraps still i mean that's that's the the irony of this whole thing we got these things that are these these gumdrops that were on the ocean floor that have been added and they're still with us at cache creek or williams lake or whatever those other towns are but the the conveyor belt is is gone that's why there's such difficulty in reconstructing which ocean plates were where and what direction they were moving at a given time in our geologic past if we go back as far as we need to go back for this story is the indian subcontinent too big to be called an exotic terrain thank you dareth for the fruitcake yeah too big and i don't know anything about the bedrock of of this age for india but i'm guessing that there's a bunch of individual terrains that were amalgamated uh at some point in the past actually that's an interesting question it does not uh tethy's size question mark i mean we're uh tuzan we're we're at the time of pangaea pangea is one continent and the rest of the world is one ocean and that was the tethys i think that's the way to view it so hey i guess you can't get in huh uh so more than four thousand miles across i i don't really know but i i my mind yeah yeah yeah i'm going to be done in a second uh rainy is asking about the illusions that's too modern are the uh john are there any documented north american craton terrains anywhere north american craton terrains well you could not really as i understand it now one more bijous dying to get in liz did not keep the door open myra churchman from quinnell british columbia i was hoping to see you here again i just want to say a special shout out it's it's cool to be able to talk about uh your neighborhood so you've been a regular with us so thank you amira i know at least a little bit more about your area now that i did before myra's question the serpentinite found here in the cornell and frazier rivers are they an accretion story absolutely the serpentine that's how we'll finish i'm showing you cash creek but you're in quinnell you're not far from cash creek i don't know is it like just a few kilometers to the west of town that you leave the quinnell cornelia terrain and you get into the cash creek and yes myra the ultra mafics that i have here are slivers of the actual ocean floor and usually when you see sir pentonite you're thinking a creationary wedge so yes your serpentinite above your town is from the ocean floor in complicated little slivers and slices of the old pacific ocean floor that definitely was lifted out of the ocean and added to your area that's a nice way to finish a toast to you here's to you and your health as our weird times globally continue here's to the health of your parents and your grandparents here's to your community your physical community nearby and your virtual community i don't know communities of all forms are important and i trust that you have a community here's to the communities that you have plural it's october i certainly didn't think we'd still be kind of where we are globally but i didn't do enough reading i guess i think the science was there to say we'd still be kind of here so we continue to embrace the science i hope about what we know and what we don't know about this global situation that we're in here's to the science people working on all aspects of the problem i thank you very much for watching this morning here in ellensburg washington usa bijou's footprints on this now so this is our set time that i like very much and it's working perfectly for me and if it doesn't work exactly for you i'm sorry but hey this is this is a a pattern and a rhythm that's working so i'm going to continue with it so i will see you next friday at 2 p.m here pacific time and
