I could listen to you talk about rocks for hours, you certainly know your stuff, and you do an excellent job at describing each one. A true inspiration to the field!
Totally geeking out on all the rocks and their origin stories. You have a great resource in these geologist friends Rob. I could've watched and listened to Nat and Paul for hours. I'm glad your mystery rock was explained and that you found a few agates. Please more from the professors. Was cool that Nancy was able to weigh in as well. I was sad when it came to an end. They're a treat every time. 💯
If they're willing, I'd love to do a lot more videos with them. They live in Texas, so there's only a short time each year that we have to meet up. They also stay seven hours away from me in Michigan so it takes a little driving and planning to make these things happen.
Our favorite geologists! (Outside the Rob and Nancy family.) I love hearing all the history that the rocks have to tell, and they're told so well by Nat and Paul. Thank you for a very interesting lesson on Lake Superior rocks, which of course can apply to other rocks in many different locations. Wonderful!
I like those special treats. A big thank you to Dr. Nat and Captain Paul for sharing their knowledge !!! So very interesting the history and origin of the rocks and identification !
Thanks, Rob, for the excellent video. I learned a lot From Nat & Paul & purchased Paul's book. It's perfect for my autumn camping tour of Lake Michigan parks & beaches. Nice to see Nancy out again.
Thanks for buying a copy of Paul's book. I feel good if we can help him out a little after all the teaching he has done here, both in videos and in comments.
Ooh this is exciting! I collected a bunch of rocks from Lake Superior last year (inspired by your channel to take the long route home on a cross-country road trip just so I could get to Lake Superior) so I'm going to grab that whole bag and see how many I can identify as I watch!
I really enjoyed listening to Nat and Paul explain the different types of rocks, and it is always nice when Nancy comes along and shares her finds also. It looks like Paul has written the perfect book for rock hunters. Thank you for sharing these videos with us.
Fantastic video, so informative! Big thanks to Michagan Rocks for taking the time to put this video together. And also, of course, to Paul and Nat for sharing their time as well
Well that was a great video! Thanks for the excellent explanations. It's always exciting to see a geologist get excited about a rock, considering how many they've handled.
So much information, a must to watch again and again. Thanks Nat for identifying Rob's mystery rock! Wonderful rock hounding/geology class. Got to get that book.
Very interesting episode! I’ve learned a lot. I was happy to see Nancy again. I like her a lot. She has a nice sense of humor and she always finds beautiful rocks. 😊 Many greetings from The Netherlands
Great video, Rob!! Too short though. It was great to realize that your geologist friend Paul wrote the book I bought my husband for Father's Day. I'm glad you got an answer to your mystery rock puzzle.
Everyone said last year's video like this was too short, so this one was a little longer. If we do one next year, we''ll see what we can do about getting to over 50 rocks.
Nancy has the right idea, those pants are life savers on the beach if you don't like getting eaten alive! Great video content with Nat and Paul. Love all your videos, keep them comin. and rock on!
They sure are. We both have some, but I never put mine on. If you get them wet, they stick to your legs and become pretty ineffective. I have trouble staying out of the water.
Hi Nancy! It's been awhile. Good to see you. I'm gonna look for your friends book. Quite an information packed episode. Thank your friends for the treat.
Very informative 👏 👌 It was nice meeting you all there that day! We found 2 agates very close to you both & unfortunately lost one. We had a few cool finds in keweenaw also. Love your videos!
Omg, that was loads of fun! Like Paul's book. Very nice. The pic w/Nat as size reference had an unusual but very beautiful rock. What was that? Thoroughly enjoyed Nat's informative selections. Always good to see Nancy. The amethyst was an interesting vein. Thank you for sharing this vid. Love it when the geologists & Nancy visit. God bless.
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.
Wonderful timing! I just got back from a trip to Michigan where I hounded on lakes Michigan, Huron, and Superior and I have several rocks in my buckets that I'm unsure about. Thank you for all of your informative posts, they are what inspired me to start learning about rocks and geology and not just picking up pretty rocks. I can't wait to sort and start tumbling my new material. 😊
Oh thank you for such an informative video! I’ve learned so much. This is one video that I will watch several times. I found a few of these rocks today at our cabin in Wisconsin! Oh and Nancy thank you so much for putting on those pants! Awesome, now to find some!
I have those pants listed in my Amazon storefront, which you can find in the description of any of my videos. I was out today on Lake Huron and had to get them out because the flies were out again.
@@MichiganRocks Watched the others also. 30 min vid but with all my googling this and that term, good 2 hours and my brain hurt LOL! ... Very cool. Had me out looking at the rocks surrounding the house with a glass. Thanks for your efforts putting these things out there!!!
Nat is so helpful in the way she teaches I love her. Thank you for giving me a lesson today i wish i could see more videos just like this very helpful especially for beginners thank you for posting
Did you see last year's video. It's just like this but on Lake Huron. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F_t4LC13utM.html Also Dr. Nat has her own channel with three complete geology classes plus a bunch of short geology videos. ru-vid.com
I would be the most annoying, excited rock hounder having the opportunity to ask questions to individuals with such a deep understanding of geology, lol 😂 Dr.Nat’s passion for geology, and enjoyment in sharing that passion with others is delightfully translated and endearing. ☺️ Absolutely fascinating!
I love these videos, Rob! They are extremely informative and contain a wealth of great information! Thank you very much for being willing to exploit your relationships for our benefit!
Chalcedony!! YAY! Thank you for asking Dr. Nat about that rock! I have so many and now I can properly identify them 😁 I'm excited to for Dr. Paul's book to come in, just bought it!🥳
Thank you Paul and Nat for the beach geology lesson! The way everything got scattered around by glaciers sure makes things more interesting. Last time I was in the eastern UP I was surprised to find a number coral and stromatoporoid fossils. Good to know they came from farther up north. Paul, congrats on the book, I think I’ll check it out!
So much great info! Thank you all! Can't wait to come back up to MI and do more rock hunting with my new found knowledge. Also, I must get that book!! Awesome!😊
Thank you for this video and mention of the book! I feel like I attended geology class this morning and can now identify a few rocks collected from Superior's shore
This is a great video! Thank you to you and your friends for making the effort to help us understand what we’re looking at. I hope you do another video like this.
Yep, they're great. I'm not a geologist, so I stick to teaching about shining the rocks up more than identifying them. I can do some of the more obvious ones though.
Great information as always. Just ordered Paul's book on Amazon. Purchased 1 of Rob's turtles and a few crosses at the bookstore in Alpena earlier this year. Love supporting your efforts.
