Last orange one looks like fossilized crab body without legs. I think the back missing triangle was the tail part. I like to collect fossils and have found some interesting rocks too along the way.

You can find some neat rocks on south jersey and along Delaware River and wissahickon Creek too.

[@peterblinn7946]

I would wonder if there's some kind of hard resin-like material you could encase these with before (slowly and gingerly) sawing them in half, which could then be dissolved or melted away afterward if desired. That way, among other things, you could choose literally any cutting angle you wanted.

[@MrLargonaut]

​@@peterblinn7946 Had the same thought, gotta be a handy way to stabilize these. I did the nerd thing n went and asked GPT4: Casting in Epoxy - Keeps omni-directional pressure on all rock surfaces, provides clear, grippable, polishable, displayable medium for handling, researching, and displaying cut pieces. Freshly exposed surfaces can be re-immersed and sealed with epoxy, allowing for additional stabilized slices from each new cut. This would enable extremely thin slices of stone to be made directly into 'slides' of epoxy-stone-epoxy plates.

It is not millions of years . that is false claim by academia by the faulty carbon dating farse ( a carbon dating starts with the assumption of a date by the archeologist ) and the circular reasoning of the strata dates the fossil and the fossil date the strata.

[@knightartorias1825]

​​​​​​@@ckh57 If there's no way to use carbon dating to figure out the times, then you have no way of knowing if it's millions of years or not. So the first claim that it's not isn't even backed up by your criticism of the evidence. Also you don't understand the science of fossil dating whatsoever. Lol. They predominantly do not carbon date Fossils or rocks. Carbon is limited by a few thousand years. They use other isotopes for radiometric dating of things like million year old Fossils. Furthermore, sediment analysis is the comparison they use to ascertain whether the method is accurate because sediment analysis is a proven and accurate method of dating. Just like carbon dating young things was compared to known age determining methods like tree rings and historical records.

[@ckh57]

-@@knightartorias1825- probably just another unbelieving in a God creator evolutionist. Carbon is still a farce and we all know it. There was an incident where a bone was buried ad dug up later and then taken to carbon date and it was dated at millions of years old. so much for your carbo dating scam.

7:09 this possible coprolite is almost 100% Iron Pyrite, and many of the deep-sea fossils have a great deal of Iron Pyrite in this so even though we see it quite often Iron Pyritized fossils are extremely cool to me. especially when you find almost perfectly round nodes of sediment with sea fossils in them that have been perfectly polished and look like a solid ball of Iron Pyrite!

I've been a rock and fossil hound my whole life. Those rocks your cutting in half are really cool. I hope you can find a different way to hold the rocks while your cutting them. As a professional commercial shop carpenter and welder for 30 years I count myself lucky to have never been seriously injured, even though I was always careful. A grinder cut is very painful and destructive very quickly. The blade rotation will drag you down and into itself. You wont have time to even react until its too late. I've seen it happen to a few people. Consider a young newbee sawing their finger half way off after watching one of your vids. Peace 😎

My grandma passed in Arizona on Thanksgiving. She had a fantastic rock collection (some purchased, a lot personally collected), and we had her memorial 2 weeks ago. I may be the most knowledgeable family member when it comes to rocks and minerals. 2 weeks ago my Aunt wanted to show me a specimen she was taking home. She told me her mom always called it dinosaur poop, but my aunt never believed her - wanted to keep the rock purely for the sentimental value, recalling all the light hearted jokes about the dinosaur poop. I don't know much about coprolite, but have seen a good bit of it. Was expecting like a pocket sized rock, or an unusual formation of something more common. I was shocked when she brought out a piece that looked amazingly similar to coprolite I've seen.... And weighs at least 15lbs! Should have taken a few pictures, but didn't, this thing was huge! Told her I don't know for sure, but it looks like it certainly could be. Also told her i think the name for it is something like "crapolite", lol! Super excited to see you cut open some, so soon after! Happy coincidence! Fascinated to see the insides! I would never suggest my aunt get it cut, in fact you've made me decide the opposite, with all the chipping. However, I'm sharing your video with her, so she may also enjoy the beautiful variety of fossilized poop!

I never saw anything like this before. I am an electrician and have had to core and saw through concrete for conduit and I have kept several cores because the aggregate was interesting. Coming from a different use of cutting I have some ideas for you. I would suggest using a sled to minimize fractures, and maybe using a towel and clamps to secure the stones. Also if you suspect something is special a new but slightly broken in blade works so much better when cutting. Another thing I noticed from my personal experience is slow uniform pressure gives me the best cuts

Hiyo AgateDad- Ima fieldwork geologist and do mineral specimen ID as dayjob, but been chasing agates for 51years (since 5 growing up in NW IL on Mississippi River small town. Still my home base!) I've watched a few of your vids, (you have a LOT!~) Glad you are enjoying the hunt, and sectioning to see wha'ts inside! Keep having fun! Allow me to elucidate (I.D.) a few things in this video. I humorously say this to people: "I'm not always right? But I'm rarely wrong! LoL:)- of course, YMMV. Best Regards! 4:36 Utah? coprolite- I have seen lots of them have a septarian type- agatized center as such ( mudstone clast drys- gets shrinkage cracks at interior-chalced/qtz druse/calcite). 8:45 Ive seen, not handled, spiral copro. Though, I wondered if was partial orthocone cephalopod cast/concretion. Not knowing origin site makes hardest to educated guess. NW Coastal concretions/copro vs MT/Dakotas vs UT. Yes, spalling is so frustration! 11:33 orbicular rhyolite/lithophysae "type" chunk. the knobs are the solid lithophysae (like dud t-eggs). The cross section shows the flow banding of rhyolitic pyroclastic matrix, and orbs. Later the groundmass got eroded and thats this. OVERALL- TRY THIS- FRACTURE CONSERVATION..... a lil trick I use A LOT! get "Jet Instant" super glue (blue label- is very thin!) get and use the long, micro thin, 'Flexitips' to distribute glue over fractured area. I use microtorch to carefully heatshrink the flexitip onto the glue bottle nozzle tip. you dont have to "cap" the flexitip. next use time, The glue in end of tip may be hard plug, scissor snip off a mm bit, good to go. For specimenlean of debris(no glue crud in place) and absolutely dry (Water in fractures will cause glue to set instantly and effloresce as ugly milk white). Jet is teh right thinness to wick into the cracks - give it a few seconds, then blot excess off. If you glue your finger to rock/bottle etc. do NOT pull away. TWIST, to break bond. ya loose a lil bit exterior skin-no biggee. Pulling delaminates deeper skin-not cool! Let dry for a day. CUT- and you will not get all that crumbling. Works great for face/ skim cutting, the fractured skim will often be a thin slab, instead of junk bits. Works REALLY good too, on porous sedimentary stuff likesome of these coprolites. Last important thing- do NOT breathe the glue vapors. You can develop and allergy to the glue (I have it- SUX! 6hrs later-BOOM- runny nose congestion for an hour or 3. Look it up-its a thing) No one told me:( I use an exhaust fan (either room fan blowing past, or BEST- like a clothes dryer tube with small inline fan going from an open face box out thru window. The Glue is SO useful, and PPE is cheap and simple! Rock On!
