That's great. It's a lot easier to work with rocks when you understand where they came from.

Or the hardware store ;)

Ok. The animation are a bit rough in this one, but sometimes you gotta work with what you have!

@@GeologyUpSkill animations was bit rough but, worst i find the missing of , pictures , gestures , for example at 1:37 you say about "Followed by another quartz sulfide event , and that quarts sulfide event probably had a lot of chalcopyrite" if you was to hold up some quartz and some chalcopyrite in your hands and ,some quarts, and , crash them together ,, or something like this,, something more visual ,, then ,my theory is 90 % more of your audience would feel it could be worth buying your book because they would have something to actually use out in the field that they can actually remember and yea, use,, that's worth something, to me anyway.

Yes. Combinations like that don't come along very often!

Agreed, and good to see that there are a few keen young geologists who are taking it on and a few exploration companies who see the value in it.

So are we!

Yes. A type of milled breccia.

@@GeologyUpSkill oh interesting. ive not heard of "milled breccia" before, it makes sense, but new terminology. Ive definitely encountered stuff like that before in some pegmatite cavities when i am mining amethyst.

Thanks very much.

Only a matter of time...

Never a dull day in the field :)

Thanks. Much appreciated!

Me too!

It has cooled off a bit this year, particularly in exploration, but mining is still good.

I've never worked on uranium, but I guess there would be some plants that have found a way to tolerate it.

Thanks very much. Finley is a geotuber in the making!

That has been pretty much my experience.

Haha. I don't know, but it's working!

@@GeologyUpSkill Perhaps a few more carrots would help....🤭🤭🤭 Excellent work by the way !!!!

luckily i like them so much i watch again and noticed

We've all done that at least once!

It would have to be on zircons because every other mineral except quartz has been destroyed by alteration.

@@GeologyUpSkill By the looks of things, yeah!👍

Thanks very much.

There is a whole other story about how the mineralization fits into this sequence.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

A very fortunate outcrop to explain this concept.

@@GeologyUpSkill ever found a terrestrial deposit of poly metallic deep sea nodules ?

@@lithiumvalleyrocksprospect9792 No. And I find that very curious since they seem to be scattered all over the modern sea floor.

@@GeologyUpSkill maybe they re-dissolve as they react with seawater to make oxygen???

On the way!

It's a textbook outcrop for that law :)

Yep he knows his stuff!

He has indeed!

Yes. This is a gold prospect!

He's walked a few miles in the old bull's shoes now :)

Thanks very much.

It depends on the weathering environment. This place has a very strong laterite profile so everything at the surface is dark brown.

Thanks very much. Enjoy Australia. Lots of great geology here!

Thanks!

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Thanks. Fortunately, rocks are full of great info :)

Almost certainly brown all the way through. Weathering in this area is lateritic. Not much can survive that oxidation.

Thanks. Plenty more in the works.

Thanks. Fortunately rocks speak the same language no matter where you are.

Out in the field here in Southern Nevada we have jumping cactus, about ten different varieties of rattlesnake/sidewinder, bark scorpions who like to crawl in empty boots, and packs of peccaries, but I'm so glad we don't have face spiders, tick-filled 'roo wallows, and drop bears. Inverse "grass is always greener."

Haha. RU-vid can convert my accent into English subtitles!

Australia sounds safe by comparison!

Thanks. Rocks are just full of awesome info. :)

Thanks. It's great fun to make them.

Thanks very much.

You're welcome!

Rocks are fun. That's why I do this :)

There is a big variety of jobs with the Geologist label. The amount of science you use is pretty much up to you.

There is probably a video in that!

Thanks very much. What are you mining?

@@GeologyUpSkill We have a private mine currently and in Oct we will be opening virgin ground in Little Falls Herkimer :) All private for when you come
