You have a really interesting channel! I have never heard of petrified trees, but it makes sense. Thank you for the rich and clear information!

[@GeologyDude]

Dave,were you down in my neck of the woods? That’s about 20 miles from me !

[@GeologyDude]

Yes. I heard you mention this place, so I squeezed it into my schedule to surprise you! Although I had no idea you were that close to it

What can you do with these trees?

[@GeologyDude]

Well, this locality has become a tourist attraction. Admission fees provide income to the owner. Alternatively, petrified wood can be sold by weight-with the price based on wood type, size and other features (like color). Obviously scientific value to show paleo climate and direction of the volcanic blast-based on direction that the trees fell.

Great. Your Content is fantastic, But your video optimization section area is not perfectly up to date. Out of 100 that’s score 50, That’s why your video is not reaching out to people, and you have very few subscribers, views , likes, watch time and comments. I think your KZbin channel will make your dream come true. Can I talk with you?

[@GeologyDude]

Thanks much for the compliment and your interest in my videos. TubeBuddy says the SEO for this video actually is 70%. But you are correct that I should try to review and update the video information. There are other issues which I have been contemplating changing too. If you want to chat, here is my email (note that I removed the email address since you were able to contact me with the previous version of this post)
