They aren't Theories. I see them in the ground.

Comet Strikes In 1955, when I started studying Geology at BYU, there was not a single recognized impact crater any where on earth. Many had been studied, but all were accepted as some weird kind of volcanic structure. In 1960 that all changed when Gene Shoemaker provided us with a scant list to tell them apart from volcanoes. Round simple craters or complex craters with multiple rings, over turned rocks around the rim, The presence of high pressure rocks like coesite and stishovite; high temperature rocks including laminated and welded blocks of sand, spherulites and tektites, or glassy spatters of molten rock called suevite. shock-metamorphic items like shatter cones. A layer of shattered or "brecciated" rock under the floor of the crater. This layer is called a "breccia lens. A fall out layer in and around the crater. I am now 87 and after years of studying the rocks of Utah, Asking people to look with new eyes, wish to add a few items to the list; 1. Minerals new to the area. 2. Shock induced mineral stains in the rocks. Currently known as liesegang layers. 3. Shock induced concretions. Known as Moqui Marbles, and iron pipes. Here I became aware of a structure known to Geology as “Impact Funnels” and developed my own theory of what caused them. Let’s start with the first place I found the term. 1. Campo del Cielo, Argentinaonlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1945-5100.2011.01202.x Abstract– More craters may be discovered in the future, but as it is currently known, the Campo del Cielo crater field is 18 km long by 4 km at its widest point. Such a distribution of craters suggests that the parent meteoroid entered and traversed the atmosphere at a very low angle relative to horizontal. The crater field contains at least 20 small craters produced by the larger fragments of the parent meteoroid. Four of these are explosion analog craters and the rest are penetration funnels.During four field seasons, we have constructed topographic and magnetic maps of four of the penetration funnels as found, and then dug trenches across them to learn their original structures and recover meteorites preserved within them. Structures of these penetration funnels indicate very low angles of impact, i.e., 9–16°relative to horizontal. This supports the idea that the parent meteoroid traversed the atmosphere at a low angle. Data given here for the four penetration funnels include projectile masses, lengths, widths, depths, and estimates of impact angles and azimuths. One of the penetration funnels described here (No. 6) can almost be classified as an explosion analog crater. I asked myself why were 4 of these impacts explosive, while the other 16 were not? 2. Upheaval DomeI found the same thing here in Utah, the highly eroded Upheaval Dome crater surrounded by thousands of Penetration Funnels. The Upheaval Asteroid appeared low in the northeast sky, hit 25 miles west and a little south of present day Moab, Utah. The scientific community thinks it was alone, I do not. Because it is surrounded by a ring of uranium rolls. That had to have followed the same path as Upheaval! Only that can explain the presence of Roberts Rift! An enigma that everyone knows has to be connected in some way to upheaval. The rift is 30 miles long and 2,000 feet deep. A 1/3 mile diameter asteroid can’t account for that, but a 120 mile wide comet can! How? Shock waves! Reflecting off the Colorado Fault under the Colorado River (and the Grand Canyon) combining with oncoming waves from the source created a standing wave 30 miles long an thousands of feet deep that heated rocks and water down in the Permian layers that created a steam explosion along it’s undulating path, creating Roberts rift. All these Impact Funnels, why didn’t they explode? Remember, comets are dirty snowballs, mostly water. Think of being hit by a huge water balloon. The material inside can’t explode because it is being compressed by water from every side. 3.Uzbekistanhydrogen-future.com/en/news-en/93-stone-chimneys-of-the-kyzylkum-desert.html The whole country was hit by a comet, it hit, did not explode, Instead pushed the land toward the southeast, peppered with it’s unusual “dirt ” of silane, uranium, gold, tungsten, copper, and zinc. 4. The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe. Everyone should recognize this as a comet created structure, because it did not explode, It is 8 mile wide and 340 miles long, impregnated with vanadium, Uranium, Studied by people that don’t believe in impacts, naturally they can’t see it. Look through the eyes of someone who can: David P. Howcroft of South Africa: www.howcroft.co.za/mmm20.htmlwww.researchgate.net/publication/328828825_METEORITES_MINERALS_AND_MERENSKY_-_2020_My_Story_of_the_Vredefort_Impact_Structure_VREDEFORT_BUSHVELD_COMPLEX_AND_GREAT_DYKE_THE_UNCLOTHED_EMPERORS5. The Midas CometKnown as the Sevier Orogeny because of shallow Thrusting from Canada to Mexico. Thought to have been caused by subduction of the oceanic Farallon plate, which would have been from west to east, but was in reality, was from northwest to southeast, following the Same Path of the Upheaval Asteroid. Then I discovered Uranium Rolls, realized they had been misidentified, Had to have followed the same track at the same time as upheaval! Then the Whole Story came to me. A Comet had created the Rocky Mountains! BUT there was a strange interval In between - 40 million years of the Western Inter- mountain Waterway, Until the Greatest Magic Trick of All Time, Chicxulub struck the Yucatan, and suddenly the Rocky Mountains appeared!

That's pretty cool, Dave, but I think it's far beyond my pay grade.
Maybe a bracelet (larger), would be slightly easier - but that would take much more silver, ALSO beyond my pay grade Patty
The diamonds are beyond most of us. Perhaps at least an inspiration toward better work?I like this I came up with:

Do you think dung Beetles find and follow the weak lines between lumps as they navigate through the dung? Is there a difference between those that roll the balls to distant locations, and those that choose to stay and live inside the dung?

looking for gems in Colorado, Park County is one of those places - Especially "the Rock Wall" on the western side. here are some maps made by my Geology friend Lindsey V. Maness who lives in Golden, Colorado.

At least you have a start. You never know what will happen next. I'm slowly learning what you can and can't do. But I'm thrilled by what happens with little effort.

Just how smart is AI? It has no idea what a rock hammer is or a hand saw. No idea what a tumble weed is. LOOK AT THIS: This is supposed to be wild horses pulling a stagecoach across the Utah Desert.

AI does not understand hands. Note that on my last picture each hand has 6 fingers.

liveoak, All artists: There is a Free way to do this. Go to NightCafe to start. You may want to Start by exploring what others have done. hit the Explore button at the top. Then there are a lot of categories to look at. Start your own by pressing the Create button. Choose the FREE image; Dreamshaper v8 for a model or it will cost you points. Write to tell the AI what you want, hit the Create button and see what happens! Experiment like I did. Its fun, and you will never know What will come out next. Here are a few of mine: My best so far:

Good guess but because of many other specimens with these features I've been able to put together numerous clues with some detective work and form an accurate hypothesis. On the above specimen you can see the ghost of a wood limb in the middle that's rather large. The growth rings aren't really well defined, but you can see the radial cracks emanating from the center typical of a limb. OK, that's one part of the story. The second part is that white structure. Detailed somewhere in the previous 162 pages of this thread we've been able to determine that anomalies like this are the burrows of dung beetle larvae that are filled with the excrement of the larva. Fossilized poo inside fossilized poo. It's interesting to note that the limb was not totally digested, and the larva deflected around the contour of the limb in its burrowing endeavor. Wait. So millions and millions of years ago an animal eats a branch and it doesn’t fully digest. Out it comes in some poop, which Mr. Dung Beetle comes along to deal with. In his travels through the pile he burrows into that partially digested branch, leaving behind a bunch of his own poop. And in the end it ALL becomes fossilized and wound up with you??? Again, I absolutely love that. It would be crazy to find a fossilized dung beetle in some coprolite some day. I think we found one some time back. Can't remember where tho.

Hi, I'm Dave, been here a long time, Wrote 3 books, but I'm so old and jittery I think that is now behind me. This p[hoto was taken in Big Spencer Flat in 1990.
