Stuff. Cool 😎 stuff

[@AliceinMineralLand]

I loved this video! Thank you. Also, I've never seen sea foam like that before!!

[@geologyjohnson7700]

Glad you liked it. I think it has a high microbial content so the foam binds together better than normal. Sometimes it even leaves impressions on the beach sand. I'm sure I've seen papers talking about those impressions as sedimentary structures in ancient beach sands.

@@geologyjohnson7700 Its just so cool. I will never be in awe of this stuff.

I really enjoyed the video seeing such an interesting variety of rocks n stones. The one with the fossils is a really nice page from the book. When you mentioned Mudstones were you referring to the black ones ?

[@geologyjohnson7700]

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Yup, the mudstone is usually grey to black in this area, like the cliffs at the very end.

great watching and trying to take in the information , there so much I want to see and find for my rock collection , I'm doing the Yorkshire and Norfolk coast in the near future , may be a meet up if you fancy , please get in touch , thanks for share,

[@geologyjohnson7700]

Those are both nice places to look for rocks and fossils. Thanks for the invite but I live in Belgium and will be stuck in the lab for the forseable future with my new samples. :)

I get some European till arriving off the Yorkshire coast but Greenland! how? great video btw

[@geologyjohnson7700]

I can't remember the exact process, it was years ago some one told me about it. They were trying to explain the presence of exotic crystalline rocks that didn't match UK, or Scandanavian basment and Greenland was the closest match.
