Thank you for your informative and well organized presentation. I have been a rock hound interested in mineralogy since childhood, I’m in my 50’s now, and have rarely come across a more well made explanation of regional and specimen varieties. Your microscopic images were truly remarkable and gave me views of petrified wood and other plant type species that I have never seen before. That’s saying a lot as I have been interested in and had access to view some amazing and rare specimens. I was just introduced to your channel today and am so glad the algorithm gave me the opportunity to watch your channel and learn more about the wondrous marvels that nature has created and that we have the privilege to view. I look forward to seeing more of your content and thank you for putting the time and effort that this quality presentation requires!
A year ago I came across a large petrified stump.... I've been obsessed with this petrified stump I found on the coast of Palos Verdes. It was too heavy to carry out (this area has no protections and would've allowed it). It has since been buried by the landslides caused by the eroding cliffs. Thankfully I was able to come across another specimen that was exposed by those same landslides. The stump I found is half encased in sandstone, with evidence of boring clams and other mollusks on the surface of that sandstone. This means the stump was initially dislodged by a flood; was left hanging around the coast encased in sandstone where it was subjected to drilling by sea life; and was then somehow re-deposited into the cliff; where it was then exposed one last time and found by me.
Excellent video on petrified wood the best I’ve seen, and I like the voice of the person, speaking knowledgeable , clear, and friendly. Yes, petrified wood is very hard. I have a piece I’ve been working on to polish and it’s much harder than the rainbow obsidian and other interesting stones I’ve collected. Thank you.
Hi bear, this is the most detailed comprehensive look at petrified wood I've ever seen or heard. The research that has been compiled here is incredible, well done to you and your family for such a great completion. As always the narration is wonderful thank for this lovely trip! I was lucky enough to go to the petrified forest in az back in the day it was mind blowing. Tks again and by for now. Ps how's college going? And where did you pic? If you don't want to say its OK. 👍Be safe.
Hi Nigel. Sorry for slow reply - had to work at Starbucks to pay for college and wanted to hangout with friends before they leave the city. My turn is on Sep 15th, heading to UC Davis (communications). Thanks for words of encouragement. Cheers!
@@BearSF lovely hearing from, keep your head down, work hard, and try and enjoy the whole process. You already have a lot of the tools required to thrive, and I've no dought you will. Bye for now, and be safe. 👍
