Serpentinite of Lake Superior

In this episode we start where we left off... Lurking on the glacially-polished remnants of metamorphosed pillow lavas in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We examine some serpentine exposures - California's state rock - on the rocky shores of Lake Superior. We end the video on a floating sphagnum bog staring deep into the flowers of the basal angiosperm lineage, #Nymphaea and checking out the seeds of the pitcher plant, #Sarracenia purpurea.
Retracted thanks to Nathan Martineau for help in a few segments of the production of the bog portion of this video, though he later whined that he didn't get enough credit despite being mentioned in the captions and only identifying four or five species in ten minutes of video. He's since nursed a basket of arroagance and bruised ego two or three years after this video was made.
