What's My Rock? #12 — a rock identification show
What's My Rock? - Episode 12
Dr. Abstract interviews Ronnie about a special rock given to him long ago by his grandmother.
Is it a meteorite or meteorwrong? Is it gold or just shiny? Is it a fossil, a diamond, a gemstone? Dr. Abstract calmly and cheerfully sorts through it all!
The guests are not actors, but real people from Southern California who have independently contacted him for his geological expertise. In exchange for having their specimens analyzed and identified, they agree to be filmed for this UA-cam Channel. If you live in Southern California (or plan to be in the area) and you would like to appear on What's My Rock, send us a message with a picture of your rock.
This is a Tectonic City production

Identify mineral cleavage like a pro: destruction, microscopes, and candy
Переглядів 1,8 тис.9 місяців тому
In this lesson, I explain how to identify cleavage in minerals using junk food as a model and by smashing up perfectly beautiful crystals. We'll look at the crystal shards in a regular binocular microscope and also at very high magnification using a scanning electron microscope. After these demonstrations, you should be able to identify mineral cleavage like a pro! Identifying cleavage is a fun...

A professor explains how to get into graduate school in the sciences with funding
Переглядів 790Рік тому
This is a talk I give to my own students here at CSUSB once a year, and this Zoom was filmed August 10, 2023 to ~70 students from around the world. I explain how to find a funded graduate program in the sciences so that you can get a degree without going into debt. I'm a geology professor, but this technique applies to any field of study in the sciences. In a nutshell: contact the right profess...

It might be worth mentioning to the guests and the YT audience, that iron meteorites are only about 6 percent of the meteorites found on the Earth. Most meteorites (~93%) are the stony type of meteorite composed of silicate minerals like pyroxene, olivine, and Ca-feldspar. About 1 percent of recovered meteorites are the type named stony-iron. The metallic parts of the stony-iron meteorites are composed of iron and nickel. As a metallic element, nickel (Ni) is relatively rare on the surface of the Earth except in meteorites where it alloys with iron (Fe).
Whenever someone brings in a heavy "rock" that they think is an iron meteorite, the first question you should ask about it's origin is, "Is there a railroad near the site where the rock was found?"
You are a saint. The little lady is emblematic of too many folks today who refuse to yield their opinion in the face of overwhelming data/fact/truth.
I think it might be a piece of a broken mural, demolished and built over. Fancy bank building mural.
CHILE MENTIONED"!!!!!
This girl was so arrogant and I thought you were extremely patient with that one who thinks she knows more than an expert. I applaud you I dont think I would hv had your patience. Well done! 💜🙏🏽
For the third specimen that was highly weathered, I'd add that biotite mica weathers in soil environments to vermiculite. So vermiculite is often a secondary phyllosilicate mineral found in the clay fraction (diameter < 2 microns) of soils.
That slag probably did not originate in the desert. It was probably brought in on a railroad and used as ballast along the tracks or on the railroad embankment.
Your really making a disgrace to God's creation! Everything is biology, geology is the result thereof!!! Lol, your no scientist that's for sure; go to: Mudfossil University with Roger Spurr and get educated and read God's word to connect the dots, yaw'll!! Without Ps 93:10- .... *they became dung for the earth; I would not have found Heb.11:3- *Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, *So that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Are your minds not big enough to take this in????? Your making a mockery of life itself!
When you think, man, I'm really nervous about being in a video, maybe some weed will chill me out so I don't seem awkward.

Would you please have a discussion with Roger Spur muddfossil university😊
This is absolutely wrong friend it’s all biology. From what I’ve found over and over myself it’s some creature’s body part. Until you look at them in the RIGHT way, you be repeating false information… 🤔✌️
good morning sir , im from Philippines how can i talk to you i just want you to see my rocks or stones collection
i have some weird stones/rocks , for me i guess its a meteorite or meteor wrong but , d others my stones & rocks ther have so many shiny every part of my rocks and d others also have a metallic structure
Serenading my girlfriend to this right now.
Awww, this poor guy wants a meteorite sooo much that even picking up the hot rock off the heat plate couldn't put a chink in his belief that he has one.
A lot of rocks should be tested for DNA. Many doors to earth's true history open up .
I see an XRF for $20k? And can’t afford a cheap stand for the samples.
wow nice
Drugs are bad mkayyy
Just tell him it's a meteorite. That's all he wants anyway. Even though you told him it wasn't a meteor, he's going to tell his friends you don't know what you're talking about, and it is a meteor. What an idiot.
I was waiting for this guy to freak out and start swinging 😂
Hard work dude, not sure if I'd have the patience...I don't know....
Wood or Bone
Lovely, well informed lady. X
The first Rock I had a few the same color layers etc .. I through them back to mother nature. Lots of does in Canada .
Wood
I could send pictures of I have several that I found with my metal detector and I would like to send you some pictures of me if I can
Russell Mcclarnon I have meteorites
Second rock biology as well, probably a wood.
First rock is flesh and bone, biology.
How to meet with you???
Wow, I'm really appreciate what your doing there are so many rocks I would like identified, the good thing is I have learned enough to make most identifications, but....I still have the SLAG rocks I would love to have tested just in case and they are very interesting indeed.
The Dunning-Kruger effect on display.
Ok…. It’s so ironic that I have this in my feed… I pulled from the side of a hillside in South Dakota everything that shows meteorite.. But knowing what the comp needs to be!! So cool! Now I want to find someone with the comp xray machine! New sub! Love the content
Wait, dude it's like totally a space meteorite. You might be a geologist or whatever but you're wrong. You are a very patient man to not scold her for continuing to disagree with not only a professional opinion, but xrf results proving its composition.
I have a feeling of you come across a meteorite that isn't magnetic you would have no clue.
Peace be upon you, I am from Morocco. I have a meteorite. Is there a buyer?
I have a feeling most people would have identified this as a meteorite, incorrectly. Then again, I have a feeling most people want to find meteorites so badly they put their "meteor glasses" on and see many otherwise unremarkable rocks that way.
Justfound this show...greatstuff....dude has the patience of jobe...great show...gonna start watching..so keep on keeping on 👍👍😎😎😎
you need some rocks sent in from BC.... :)
Everything was a meteorite at some point in time say before the earth formed. So just tell them that everything in this specimen came from space at some point in history, but it’s been to long to be of any current significance.
I have a rock thet i found in jurupa valley it is kuartz blue i think
I bet this guy sells certified meteorites on ebay
Dr. Abstract new the truth from the first second 😂
I credit your kindness and patience, but for the sake of netizens please vet .
The younger man: If it was done in the 1800s they didn't have conventional paints back then... The elderly man: Or brushes... Da Vinci and all other European Renaissance and Protorenaissance painters: Mind you? Care to elaborate on what we didn't have exactly before the 19th century?! Were we drawing our masterpieces with a lettuce leaf and chicken poo?! Seriously America? Culture and art existed long before your country!
They come to you And tell you you don't know what you are talking about
