In this four-part video series, head out with geology professor Shawn Willsey as he explores four distinct rock units and explains the fascinating stories of each. Here in Part Three, we investigate the cap carbonates atop the glacial diamictite deposits during the Snowball Earth episode about 650 to 720 million years ago.

Enjoyed the rock history, you must be an excellent professor!
YouTube messed your order up Shawn, had to go find Part Two. Great video series.
Thx Prof for the 4 part geo adventure. Well done. ✌
Pro tip – If you encounter a bison, remember that they are wild animals. They are faster than you, heavier than you, and meaner than you. Leave them alone!
Thanks!
Those outcrops are sometimes useful as "scratching rocks" for the bison. Look for wisps of fur.
We are so lucky to live when we do, with knowledgeable teachers, with solid science and great locations and an outlet to view it! Thanks professor Willsey!
Thanks! Cap carbonates!
