I once saw a worm I've always wondered about. Context: I'm in Eastern Washington State, where we have hot dry summers and bitter cold winters. In the 1990s I had built a simple 12 x 16 foot pond with biological filter in my backyard. One summer afternoon I noticed a tiny transparent worm right at the waters edge, just under the water, moving a bit like an inch worm. It was about 3/4 of an inch long but would stretch out and contract as it moved, in addition to the inch worm motion. At one point the worm encountered a small pond snail which caused the worm to recoil and the snail to withdraw into its shell. Just as the snail seemed to relax and come out of its shell the little worm snapped forward, grabbing hold of the snail which pulled back into its shell, but apparently not fast or far enough because the little worm hollowed it out. Anyway, this program is the first time I've ever heard of worms that eat snails being talked about. I don't think the worm had segments, I'm pretty sure it didn't have any appendages but it was so small and transparent I didn't even notice a head, but it must have had some way of latching on to the body of the snail.

Paul is the best! He has so much knowledge and it’s great to learn from him. Excavated with him this past summer.

Very informative video. Thank you for putting it together and sharing your knowledge. The world needs people like you to help preserve and promote such histories, so they’re not lost to time and forgotten about. Regarding the preservation of the petroglyphs, has anyone considered having them scanned by laser? I’ve seen documentaries where lasers were used to scan ancient rock art to make the glyphs more visible and allow more detail to be seen. I’m curious how many more details and information may be able to be gathered if laser scans were able to be completed. As for the Susquehanna Deeps, I know they were semi-explored before the dam was built. Has any exploration of the deeps been done in modern times? If I had the time and money, I would love to send an underwater drone to explore the depths. I imagine doing something like that would be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking at the same time. I would be in constant fear of the drone getting caught up in hidden logs, branches, and other debris that certainly inhabit the depths of the deeps. I’m also very interested in learning about and preserving the history of the Susquehanna River. I’ve actually been working on paddling and documenting the entire 444 miles of the north and main branches of the river for a few years now, though it has admittedly been a very slow go. Logistics and time seem to be the primary limiting factors. As such, and as many do nowadays, I have a TH-cam channel. My goal is to share the sights and sounds of the river as well as preserve its history for future generations. That being said, would you permit me to use clips from this video in my future videos? After having my channel up and running for a few years now I’ve amassed a whopping 221 subscribers. Fortunately, my goal is the transmission and preservation of knowledge and not to make money from it. If it was to make money, boy oh boy would I be in trouble! Before commenting here, I went and checked out the Natural History Society of Maryland page. It appears that there are lots and lots of opportunities to explore and learn! I will definitely be joining as a member and signing up for events, especially the canoe paddles! I was already anxious for warmer weather so I could get back out on the water, but after discovering the NHSM club and the opportunities being offered to get outside and learn, I am all that more anxious now. As for the many books referenced in the video, can you provide a list of them? I’d be interested in taking a closer look at them and possibly purchasing some if they’re still in publication. Speaking of purchasing them, are there any links available for those who may be interested in buying them? Thanks again for the very informative video. Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing more from your channel!

Uuummm!!!

I can see your cursor. Gee, the Emydinae have been around even longer than the Platypus and Echidna.

wow!!! this is amazing!!! you win the internet for today!!!

Lol what kind of drugs are you taking 😅😅😅😅

You are so fly 😂😂😂

You have flys on your butt😂😂

Nice summary of what the NHSM does.

🙂🙂🙂

42:02 Wait, WHAT?!?!?! This is HUGE news!!!! Holy crap, I'm so excited!!!! Any sense of when that paper's going to be published??? 😃

This man collects flys😂😂😂😂

Heck yeah 🤘

I'm from Springhill, Nova Scotia. We had much the same geology as we see here. They also have a Miner's Museum offering tours of an 1873 mine. You can even dig for coal; just watch out for the coal chips; the seam is still under compression.

Oh my goodness you help me so much on my science project because for over an hour I was trying to understand it but there was too much information. This helped me greatly THANK YOU!

Whatever floats your boat 🚤 😂😂

Really 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for beautiful and informative lecture, from Ireland

Why did the white man steal our land 😢😢

You are a white man😢😢😢

I am Lenape 😅

That's a huge topic to cover in under an hour but you did so well and made it really interesting. 😀

Beans and rice 🌾 😅😅😅

I’m hungry 😋 now 😂😂😂

This is so well done, so informative, and the amount of knowledge and research you have accumulated about this culture is impressive. Thank you so much for doing this, and doing what you do.

Excellent! Fascinating. Mostly new info to me. Want to learn more. Sure wish I could have participated when I was young. Too old now, I'm 80 yrs old now.

Lots of points here to 😅😅😅

Right across the river from the skukel river 😅😅

Nice face effigies 😅😅😅

I will show you where it is ok 👍

Gloucester City Delaware river 😅😅😅😅I don’t dig I just walk the field 😅😅😅

Gloucester City Delaware river 😅😅😅😅

I found my own site 😮😮😮

I collect Indian artifacts Lenape tribe Delaware river lots of effigies ❤❤❤

It looked deceased by the end of the educational talk yall 😬

Great presentation! I love Kingsnakes.

How does one get involved with the excavation projects ?

✨️🙂✨️

😂

There was so much info I saved it. 🦅

Brat!

That’s what’s up 💯💯 😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Shit aint funny

Why this video resolution? 360p?

Very cool.

Thank you for sharing, Thumbs Up

I love to hear Fred speak about this subject, please thank him for me. And thank you Maryland Nature for sharing this. Thumbs up

This all makes such common sense to me. Ive always wondered why no one had done this as all the coasts would have been under water. Hmmm.
