My Aunt collected every piece of blue mountain pottery. It was beautiful stuff. I wish someone would start it up again and make new molds.
This should be the tutorial they show in schools.
Here is another interesting and recent reference. More about sounds and music. ua-cam.com/video/D3TDHWhUyzg/v-deo.html
Go to Delphi Point Beach . it's amazing
Glad to see a fossil and learn that a species is still alive today.
Formed by climate change.
Thank you for your studies Dr.Bartel. Could anyone just simple listen to 40 hz each day and receive benefit or does it need to vibrate on the body?
From what I gathered listening to sound will work just as seeing the light at 40hz. Sound goes into the brain. And if loud enough it will affect your skin too. The vagus nerve branches to the little lobes on your ears (that you can use to plug your ears) and picks up sounds too. This is also an effective path to brain stimulation. ua-cam.com/video/D3TDHWhUyzg/v-deo.html He talks about a 5 hz frequency that is beneficial also. I have played a 38 and 43 to get a 5 hz beat frequency along with the others. I just use an online tone generator, plug my computer into my stereo and play. I have a 15" woofer that does a good job.
Love this!! Do you know if it is possible to purchase prints of the old photos? Would love to!
So glad you enjoyed the film @janeandrew6777! It is possible to purchase archival images for personal use. Please email the Museum & Archives at "museum@thebluemountains.ca" with your request and staff will contact you.
Thank you Ashley, I never knew I needed to, and could, do this from the App Store. Very appreciated. I just upgraded all my apps.
I have a picture that resembles that fossil. But it didn't come from the ocean. It's about 2 1/2 - 3 inches in length and is solid black. I googled the photo and it showed me the fossil in your video
Hi I found a fossil of a fern plant possibly..I am a avid collector of gems and crystals when I found this one I was stunned to find it ..can u help me need to find out age and how rare it is
Hello, Library and Museum staff would be happy to assist you in your research. While our staff are not experts in paleontology we can help with access to resources. Please email museum@thebluemountains.ca to make a research request and include a photograph of the fossil.
Thank you for all the work you've done to prepare and post this video. I've heard storiies about the sinking of this steamer all my life (dad was born in 1908) and grew up im Meaford). The story that went around back then was that a light had been placed in the window to purposely divert the Mary Ward to shore at Craigleith, as she was said to have been carrying several barrels of whiskey. This was only a rumour, by the way, who knows, but makes an interesting twist to the story.
Glad you enjoyed and appreciated this 360 degree documentary! The story and marine archaeological site are unique to the area.
Thank you Ashy my mom dead of cancer 6 years ago. I'm trying so hard to read like fantasy books again like Harry Potter but it just been so hard. Every time I go to pick up a book I can't fncH a chapter before I remember my mom. And how much she like to read as well.
I almost drove up there this morning to look for chert at Metcalf rock but it was raining. Lots of weekend homes in the area now
'PromoSM' 😚
The Niagara encampment ruined my life.
Nice little video but do you have any information on who actually opened Errinrung?
A little more geology and a little less politics would have been nice.
Nice. Thanks.
Of course no *bourgeois* government will ever approve another plan as ambitious as this one...
Beautiful documentary! Love the local history and especially the serendipitous coming together of Jozo and Dennis. Really shows again that following what you love can lead to a soul-filled life of beauty and wonder!
Thank you! We agree with your succinct and well versed observation of Jozo and Dennis' story and the innovative and inspiring lives they both lead.
Thanks 😊
Thank you! God bless. John 3:16
Sound is only on the left channel on the video.
Great video! Thanks for creating it and sharing it!
lol "May just find a Crinoid Fossil... or 5." I can Never Learn enough, *Thanks So Much!* Pointing Disc shapes out helps to see Stalks in more of a Reality, even knowing of various shapes. This is Long - sorry, need to write this, always wanting more info, may help [me] on what missed. Crinoids are a Life Favorite, always wanted to find them. For Years, Magnifying Glass always in hand, have found in my yard, small clusters of Calcium Carbonate, Diatoms, i Thought - tho few years ago i Looked Even Closer. ... *Crinoids!* (?maybe some Bryozoans?) lol Oh *W0W!* Found only Parts \Small bits, and of Different Minerals. No single Discs found, yet, still need to ID. Must start learning to Draw, haha, cause what I See, Hours with Magnifying glass, 8|} ~ Just Gorgeous! Others don't see and think i'm Crazy. _May i just be, that Great kind of Crazy._ But Wait, there's More! 4:22 Just saw That Pink in few spots on one found! this keeps getting better. Have, i think, found Crinoids with their Coating in spots. ? wondering if even found Slug. >> Look for Video - (name?) - Subject: 'Predators of Crinoids and Bryozoans'. *CHEERS!*
What a fantastic, beautiful, and informative documentary. Thank you for creating and sharing it.
You are so welcome Kimberly, we are always working on ways to share knowledge. This is part of an award winning series we call REEL History.

Thank you Heather!! I needed to hear this message today!! Powerful!!
Wow😁😮😎🤠
I have a bedside internet radio I leave on all night, can you advise where this content is served out there?
Hi Stephen: Is your internet radio a physical radio that connects to the internet? Or is it your device (phone, tablet, etc.)? Rockit Radio is a free website that you can use to listen to vintage radio. If you need any more help or have questions, shoot me an e-mail at librarytech@thebluemountains.ca, and we can talk more about what you are using and what your options are. 😃
So we’ll explained. Much 🙏
Glad you liked the presentation.
Very informative. Thank you. I fossil hound Lake Ontario and find all the same fossils as the ones you have.😊
The base structure for our region runs across Ontario. It just so happens that our shoreline reveals wonderful trilobites easily seen.
Géo teacher made me watch this vid
Great teacher suggestion, thanks for watching!
Fantastic! I love the Niagara escarpment!
Glad you liked it and the Niagara Escarpment, we need to encourage an appreciation of all that this remarkable ribbon does!
Good content.. keep up the good work
Thank you for your comment. We really appreciate it!
In the early '80s, I picked up a piece of a Crinoid stalk (2 1/2" long X 1/2" wide) while hiking in the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico. I never knew what it was until I finally did some research the other day with further confirmation from your well detailed video. Yes, roughly 40 years to figure it out.😄 I still have it and will check out your other videos.
Thanks for your interest, and we are happy to help!
Great piece - one minor thing - it's pronounced Oh-sler not Aw-sler. Thanks for all the great info!
Thanks for that!

I think this research is so valueble for human kind and medicine progress. I studied music production, audio engineering and multidisciplinary music therapy, I'm very interested in this scientific approach and implementing it properly on the vibroacustic music therapy I'm developing.
Hey you remember trilobite
I live close by there but never been. I going tomorrow
Hope you enjoyed the visit!
AmaZing tutorial
Great film chalked full of insightful information! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's a real shame that this'll all be gone in 10-15 years, replaced by cottages for millionaires
We hope this film will help encourage stewardship, so share and be part of the change needed to ensure our wild spaces are there for nature to grow and live.
I haven't bought Craigleith fossils but I have bought Craigslist fossils. 😆
Great documentary! Definitely deserve more views!
Much appreciated! Share away, we appreciate the support.
An amazing documentary! Thank-you!
Glad you liked it Annette, we appreciate your support!
15 minutes ago I knew nothing about crinoids...now that's all in the past
Thanks for the laugh today, rock-on!
how do fossils geodize
Geodes form when groundwater filled with minerals seep into pockets in rock. The crystals form using the minerals and the water evaporates. These crystals can form around anything in the rock.
