All I once knew 60 years ago … but a lot of what I’ve forgotten … now recollect …WHAT A GREAT GEOLOGY REVIEW‼️
you have all done a great service to people viewing this video … a sincere THANKS …great job …. Inspirational

‏‪سلام عليكم

This is the coolest video!!😊❤ Thanks for the field trip and I especially appreciate the time stamps in the description so that I can go back and reference the rocks!😮 Thanks Paul and Nat for the cool info!🥰 I could watch this over and over and over.........

Wonderful knowledge!!!

What are those metal things that the geologists are wearing like a necklace?

Awesome time miss the U P

Super informative video! Thanks, to you, your wife and your guests.

What beach?

Very interesting. I learned a lot. Thank you!

Nat, you are amazing! Thank you for all your thorough explanations. You are clear, concise, and a terrific teacher.

This is awesome. I need some geologists to help me identify my rock findings

Good!

I suscribe today, very nice video! thanks from Buenos Aires, ARG

Hi Rob, I will be in the Detroit area for three weeks next month. Can you suggest an area to hunt rocks around lake Michigan? I am a new tumbler and would appreciate your advice.
Thanks

That woman Nat really knows her stuff. Very impressive. I've met a lot of geologist that either dislike sharing their knowledge or can't explain anything.

I’ve watched about 20 videos in the past few days and I’ve been really enjoying them. ❤

We find lots of "leaverites".......

Did you know that one gram of Cesium 137 has more atoms in it than all the grains of sand on the beaches of the Earth?

how does vulcanic rocks found in the shore but no vulcanic
activities in the area?

If only I could have Nat with me every time I go out - so much knowledge!

Rather just pick the pretty ones

This was AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us! I loved it!

I love all the knowledge 😊

Nice to know the difference btw the intrusive igneous rocks, no wonder why the black n white ones don't polish well. Not as much quartz

I had no idea jasper and onyx were chalcedony too

Amygdules would be almond shaped, possibly sized also (not sure). Latin or Greek root word for the seed. Also a structure in the brain; the amygdala, named for the resemblance.

Shist is some of the most beautiful stuff. Local rock yard had light green sparkle rock split on cleavage lines. It had this constant even rippling with the high spots being pure silvery glitter. They didn't want to fool with me when I walked-up with one slab for a fishtank. I can't put it in, too lovely to get algae on.

What are some of your favorite beaches along Lake Michigan to find rocks?

Not sure if they’re considered LSAs but down here in Louisiana rivers, I’ve occasionally found rocks that sure do look like an LSA.

Do you sells the rocks? What a wonderfully unique Christmas gift they would be! Please let me know

Thanks for explaining the great oxydation vent responsible for banded iron formation but how do you explain the alternate red and black bands many times in such a rock sample. I am àn amature rock hound. Please tolerate my ignorance .

What beach is this?

I'm glad this came back up. I watched it when it first came out, but I need to keep it for reference.

Living in New Hampshire , near the coastline, on foggy nights, you could hear the different foghorns and bell buoys. When the waves brake,you can hear the beach rocks rolling (a grumbling sound) , the smaller beach rock gives a higher grumbling sound. In cove areas the beach rocks get smaller towards the center. My home was a mile or so from the coast of Rye,N.H.,, on a stormy night, you could hear the rumbling after a wave crashing . That was in the 1970s+1980s,, . Today I live on the water ,, that beautiful sound of waves breaking on the beach has a different meaning when you live on a boat

This one is a classic eh?

Where can I buy one of those lightweight expandable rock scooper/walking sticks?

Awesome work! Really enjoyed this journey through the minerals. Special thanks for all the accompanying explanations!

Very Gneiss.

My last visit to that lake was a horror movie of biting flies!!!!
This video is fantastic!

Rob not sure I’m trying to identify a rock and need help. Is there a way I can reach out to one of these geologists and ask.

I love this. It's the exact kind of video us newbies need. Thanks!

I hope there is not a test in the end.

What do you do with the rocks after you find them?

Thank you! Always nice to get good classifications with raw samples. So many of the same rocks here in NM BUT not anywhere as smooth!

We had a great time. Thanks for inviting us. All the best to you and Nancy!
