The Meteorite That Buried Michigan | The Sudbury Impact

Thank you, I had never heard of this event and it is so interesting!

I live in central Indiana. In a farm field I found a piece of breccia that I believe came from the Sudbury event. A lot of rock in Indiana came down in the glacier conveyor during the last ice age. I believe this piece of breccia came from here via that route. My sample also tested positive for nickel.

I was the 1st secretary for the MOE in Sudbury. Learnt geology to some degree. Have a Prof. friend suggesting volcanic eruption as opposed to meteor.

Have you heard of Hangman1128? Highly recommend!! It could have been an area impacted, but I wonder if it's from something besides a meteor. Blessings :)

The start only 50 years ago had "EXPERTS" call the questioner liars and even wasting time. A look in BAJA and the Mexican debris fields changed my view,

Did this occur before or after the glaciers formed the great lakes?

What a fountain of knowledge. Awesome guy and video

Thank you for the informative and enthusiastic videos. I am an engineering geek who recently started visiting the Marquette area. You have given me a number of cool locations to visit and ponder in future visits.
Keep up the good work.

Love this humble man that is so smart ty

I'm from Sudbury, ON....can we have our stuff back ? lol

This video just popped up, im glad it did. Im in north east Ohio on the lake. And a little bit of a geology buff. This has me wondering if some of the materials made it this far. Having Bill's explanation of the composition of the rock is a great help. Thanks for the video and Bill's a true Rock star!

Love this video and actually I learned quite a bit myself

This guy is so Kool..
A real ROCK star

I’m a 73 year old, living 100 miles west of Sudbury. My only regret is not becoming a geologist. This field was never presented to girls my age. My retirement is enhanced by everything I can now learn on a daily basis. Videos like this are fascinating. Thank you so much.

Born an raised in Sudbury!

LIES

So maybe that volcanic type rock I use to find on the North Shore as a kid could have came from that event? Cool.

Interesting topic but I couldn’t gel with host - can’t connect. Not cool.

Sum say say the Sudbury impacts one being the Sudbury basin and the other being a lake some believe that be the meteors are what killed the dinosaurs

Wasn't it a comet estimated to be 26 km wide ? Also, the impact crater has been compressed via tectonic forces in the interim giving it it's current oval alignment.

Great job in presented a bit of information that occurred 1.8 billion years ago. Seams like yesterday by the way you are so cute.

Hi from Sudbury 👋. Thanks for the exposure👏. Our region has gone from crater to nickel capital of the world to training grounds for NASA astronauts because the whole area looked like the surface of the moon to regreening for 50 years to become a lush diverse green landscape.

Alexisa if it was 1.8billion years ago that rock would look like the rock you are sitting on or bearded in top soil That is why I can not believe in any geologist New york geologist say earth is 1 000 00o years old and adirondack is only .5 percent of that We have to believe what they say and learn what they think now

I just subscribed to your channel it’s awesome very educational 😊

Hi, I have been a subscriber for a while now. I have always been passivly interested in geology, though my career was being a mechanic. I have always enjoyed watching movies and videos about the earth, wildlife, and the great out doors. You have a VERY CONTAGOIS ENTHUSIASM! and that will go a long way, hopefully getting young (I am nearly 65, so most people are young to me) people interested enough to actually get involved in learning about the earth. Keep up the good work.

Look for minerals. Liquified earth and rock tend to separate out minerals according to weight.

150 kilometers is 93 miles.

I wonder if things like Michigan copper have anything to do with these impacts.

I spent my childhood working and vacationing at my grandfathers cabin about 30 minutes from Sudbury and was always entranced by the scale of the mining and local geological interest in the area. I’m very glad to have found this video.

?? ALEXIS
Could the outline be detected with a LIDAIR mage?
Thanks

Thank you for making these videos. I’ve been a lifelong Michigan resident and love this fascinating content.

An interesting sidenote: NASA used the Sudbury Basin as a training ground for some of the Apollo astronauts, to teach them on how to recognize rocks formed as the result of a major impact.

❤🎉😢

The more knowledge you have, the more tools you have to make decisions and defend your position.

What an adorable dorky girl.
Great videos!

I have thought that lake superior could be an ancient volcano

Went to Sudbury for a Field Geology class - Lake Superior State in 1972 - Did some basic mapping of the crater - Professor told us then about all the controversy in Geology/Science academia about the "cause" - He said it was definitely an impact site and that it "will soon be obvious, even to those who refuse to follow the data!"

Waste of a meteorite…

She gets it

interesting facts good to know, also love that Collage Of Winterhold painting on the wall there. Talos guide you 😉

Nice to hear this from someone learning this for the first time, a nice energy and excitement ✌️❤️🇬🇧

This particular impact would have penetrated the earth’s surface into the mantle, this was a global event certain to have affected life on earth even if it’s only microbial at 1.8 bya✌️❤️🇬🇧

Thank you 😊

YOU ROCK! What a fascinating video. I really like your videos, particularly your boundless enthusiasm and dogged determination to tell the true story. Keep up the fantastic work! Go Youse Huskies!

I have traveled to Sudbury many times. Highway 69 is cut through the rock in many places, and the pitched striations, and heaving waves in the rock face is a testament to the impact’s force and heat.
I have always wondered if this impact had enough power to loosen the Earth plate in the region? I would love to see a timeline animation of this impact and it’s geological legacy!!

I have found ejecta from this event all the way in Texas.

Hi,maam i have 2pcs magnetic stone/meteorites cant you help or guide me tnx

a 'small city' is nothing compared to '15km'. The cities of Sant Dafydd and St Asaph are both only 1-2 km in diameter. 15 km is more like the diameter of a Capital City. This makes the story even more amazing. Were there shillings too, or only nickels?
