In this video you will learn the geology of how Carbonate Rocks (Limestone) is formed. You will also learn about Metamorphic Skarn Rock and how it is deposited in Carbonate Rocks.
In this video you will learn about the Western Interior Seaway, here is a link to a great video by Geologist Myron Cook that explains this Seaway in much greater detail; • How Geologists Discovered and Mapped ...
*** In the opening of the video, I talk about handling Spanish Artifacts that have came from the Uinta Mountains. I have personally handled Canon Balls and a piece from an old Canon that was broken (probably from being thrown from the side of a cliff by Indians). I have not personally handled Armor or Swords, but friends/family have. Just wanted to clarify for integrity reasons and make the distinction. The way I worded everything in the video could lead people to believe I have personally handled all four, which I have not. I wish they would change the antiquities laws, this would encourage people to disclose this type of stuff and allow archeological studies.

Spent every summer treasure hunting and prospecting all over those mountains. Best childhood ever!

My dad sold insurance to a guy up there who found a Spanish musket laying on the ground with the wood rotted off the stock.

True that, I love outdoor adventures like prospecting and hiking. It's definitely a natural medicine.

My grandfather and his friend found Gold in one of the canyons by Rock Creek Canyon during the 1940s or late 1930s before he died. He was an prospector from back east and came to the Uintah Basin looking for gold. He also found beryllium in northeastern Utah. Great video!

The best, sweetest, and most clear water I have ever tasted was located in the Uinta Mountains near the Boy Scout Camp.

When looking for quartz or skarn at an old mine site, check the tailings pile nearby. The mine might be filled in with rubble from above the mine so they didn’t have to carry it uphill, but the tailings will be below.
