Myron Cook (born 1961/62)[1] is a U.S. geologist and youtuber.
When Cook was young, he became known among geologists for the discovery of a cave in the Bighorn Mountains proving that the highest parts of the mountain range was once submerged, and formed while it was seafloor as part of the Western Interior Seaway.[2]
Cook worked as a petroleum geologist for 35 years. After his retirement, he moved to Burlington, Wyoming and began uploading youtube videos about the geology of Wyoming. He quickly gained a following, and began expanding the regions he talked about. Most of his videos cover more obscure geological features.[3] He has been likened to Bob Ross, being called the 'Bob Ross of geology'.[1]
In 2025, the documentary 'He Just Wanted To Talk About Geology… Now He’s A YouTube Star' was made about him.[1]
