Come with me to explore Gillette Castle in Connecticut, made up of building stones taken from the property that formed about 500 million years ago, when Earth looked unrecognizable. We'll first go back in time half a billion years to when an ancient ocean existed off the old continent of North America, then we'll hop up to 300 million years ago, 200 million years ago, and finally ~10,000 years ago. The building stones of this castle are like a book that tells the story of Connecticut's turbulent geologic past.

Disclaimer: The topics I talk about in my videos are highly simplified, and usually there is a lot more information, detail, and nuance included in these geologic processes and events. The purpose of these videos is to spark your interest in the wonderful world of geology and all the amazing things we are surrounded by all the time, and they are not meant to act as lectures or fully-encompassing video essays about everything needed to know about a topic. Thank you for keeping this in mind and for supporting me and my channel! I love making these videos and appreciate every person who watches them.
