Damn. I could have sworn it was 10 times older.

Globull Warming is responsible. The many many ice ages that were in effect over millions of years and the subsequent melting of the great ice sheets, over and over again probably supplied copious amounts of runoff water in very short periods of time that carved the canyons in separate eras......

Gosh Darn!
And here, I thought the issue was settled.
Isn't "science" wonderful? Seems to be as variable as the climate for the last 15-50 million years.
Just saying.

Interesting, but what does it matter?
To humans today, what difference does it make?
Recorded history that we know is just a tick in time.

The new research does not call into question, however, that the Colorado River did, on its present course, start spilling sediment into Lake Mead six million years ago.
Who knew that Lake Mead was six million years old?

...Colorado River did, on its present course, start spilling sediment into Lake Mead six million years ago. Learned something new today.
I thought Lake Mead was only about 70 years old.

the long-held belief that the canyon was carved by the mighty Colorado River about six million years ago I find it amazing what silly stories geologists can tell themselves. And few of the stories are sillier than the conventional wisdom about the origin of the Grand Canyon. The river didn't just carve the canyon. It carved it in concert with the uplifting of all the rock along the length of the canyon. They say. Or, anyway, they said.

I’ve been living in Arizona since 1981. I suppose I should go see that old canyon one of these days. I hear it’s grand.

50 million years? That’s not 9 times older than previously thought, that’s 7637.0856881014204979379868642126 times older!
