Common Pitfalls when Identifying Beach Worn Fossils

[@johnbaenen5386]

Thank you Gentlemen. Great lesson.

[@salliemorrill2671]

I love these interviews w/Dr. Tony. He explains things very well. He shined a new light on the fossils I have found over the decades.

[@Hklbrries]

Love this stuff, too, Rob. Thanks!

[@mirkatu3249]

Thank you for another fascinating video with Dr Swinehart! 🙂

[@susanjane4784]

Dr. Tony is great! Good visual presentation and explanation. Thanks to both of you!

[@Mike-br8vb]

Great informational video!

[@Rockn-UV]

This is fascinating. Thank you.

Thank you for a great and informative video! And many thanks to Dr. Tony for his great explanations and sharing his knowledge!

[@coyotewacker]

Awesome video, thank you for sharing

[@icatz]

Fossils! Always good to learn more. ❤️🏏🎸

[@davidhile5363]

Thank you Dr. Tony and Rob for another interesting and informative video. You never know from what perspective view you are looking at something and things are not always what they seem to be ! Great explanations !

[@terrimaldonado8806]

Thank You for another video with the Dr again!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

That was cool, love the demonstration. Thanks for the fossil lesson!

[@jonathanyoung7785]

It does take time to recognize how a two-dimensional (surface) pattern is an incomplete representation of a three-dimensional world. Slabbing rocks is good brain training in this regard. Indeed, what I love most about slabbing rocks is that by choosing the cutting angle, I am essentially creating a two-dimensional surface pattern that didn't exist until the rock was cut. When rocks are partially transparent, this mental exercise (and the resulting joy) can be taken to a whole different level. 😀

[@MichiganRocks]

I think the most fun stuff is that which can be cut different ways to get different patterns. Cladopora type fossils are a great example of that.

[@LadyYoop]

Outstanding!

[@cathyblock6197]

Thanks for the info!

[@txwaterbird6115]

I just LOVE your educational videos. Thank you.

[@berjo77]

Nice, always love learning!

[@janehelbert7551]

Fascinating!

[@cgbach]

Man had me dying at “fossilized calamari” 💀

[@MichiganRocks]

Crunchier than the fresh stuff.

[@Luciddreamer007]

Great information! Hey Rob A man visiting Arkansas from France found a 7.46 carrot Diamond 💎 I’ve heard from old timers after a rain is the best time …. Case in point here Come On Down ! To The Natural State !

[@MichiganRocks]

Maybe one of these days!

[@claybowser698]

I live in the desert in south eastern Arizona and I find crinoid and shell fossils all over my property. Ocotillo plants really love growing in this kind of ground. It's one of the ways I use to help find these fossils. I just look for a bunch of Ocotillos growing up and I know I'll find a bunch of cool fossils.

[@MichiganRocks]

I don't think I've ever used plants as an indicator of fossils. That's really neat that you can do that.

[@sunnycadwallader2873]

Interesting. Thank you!

[@tamimcclain2459]

Sign me up for Dr. Tony's classes!!!

[@patriciamckean4186]

Wish I had him as my science teacher. Calamari, hahaha.

[@MichiganRocks]

Yes, I think he'd be great to have as a teacher. I guess he just taught us, so we actually have had him as a teacher, just without the tests.
