Rob I found this lesson in geology fascinating!! At 70, I still have so much to learn about rocks. I've always looked at rocks and wondered what they went through to form them into what we see when we find them. Growing up, we always looked for Lake Superior Agates. Your channel has helped me to gain appreciation for other rocks!
@@MichiganRocks I don’t think I’ve ever found an agate. Not much in Milwaukee county in that regard unless I’ve just been unlucky! But but I love basalt, and yes Rob, I love granite too!😁
Rob, thank you so much for taking us on an absolutely fun day of rock collecting. And extra thanks to you and Nancy for such a delicious dinner! We look forward to seeing you again!
I'm glad you enjoyed the day, Nat. I sure did too and Nancy and I both enjoyed dinner and good conversation with you and Paul at our house. If we don't get a chance to see each other in the U.P. let's make sure we get together again next summer.
Wow !! After watching this video & hearing the 2 geologists explain how rocks are formed & their names, I realize how little I know about rocks. I know a few, but not even close to identifying them like they do. Great educational video 👍
@@MichiganRocks This video is an absolute must for rockhounding to educate people on the variety of rocks & how they came to be. I didn't realize how many types of rocks moved from here in Canada to where you are in Michigan
love this video . i learned so much. They're explanations of what the rock is and how it was formed was so easy to understand. I could listen to them for hours at a time. Thank you for having them on your video. 👍
I have never been particularly interested in rocks. I spend every summer on Lake Huron in Ontario, so when this video was suggested to me, it caught my interest. I have watched quite a few in the past week, but this video was by far the most informative and interesting!
Nat and Paul are great. They really know how to explain things at a level I can understand. Do you have Petoskey Stones on your side of the lake? Anything over there that is common that wasn't covered in this video?
Thank you for having them with you on what looks to be a beautiful day by the shore. There is so much to learn. Another day where you hit the Jackpot on finding rocks.
Great information. My cottage is in Hillman Michigan, Lake Avalon. The rocks I find are similar to the ones you’re showing me from Lake Huron. Awesome.
Super informative and interesting as heck. I love their obvious joy in their craft, this video blew by so fast for me. Another great share, thanks Rob!
Thanks Rob, this video was very helpful to me, especially since I find a lot of the same rocks being an roughly 2-2.5 hours south from you. I plan on watching this one a few time, because there's so much great information throughout the whole video, non-stop knowledge. I really love geology, just have no clue where to start, so I start with your videos! Wow so many different kind of rocks and fossils I've heard of before.
Thank you very much Rob, Nat and Paul, it's SO INTERESTING to ear all these explanations, how were born these rocks and what are they made of! I hope there will be more of these great collaborations. Good idea also to have transcribed in clear the names 😊
Paul, Nat, and Rob thank you for the rock lessons. Nat I took a look at many of your short clips on your channel...LOVED THEM. All of you are amazing teachers and speak to us, with limited geology backgrounds, in a way that we understand. Thank you!🤗
I agree. Paul makes a lot of comments on my videos and has never once made me feel stupid, even when he's correcting me. I'm not sure what he's thinking though!
@@MichiganRocks tell them to come up north for the summer. Better weather up here then. We'd all love it! They help bring what we see come together, make sense.
Oh my gosh! I have large Stramatoporoid here in the rocks in my yard!! Everyone always comments; “What the heck is that?” Now to remember that tongue twister!🤪🤣 Now I finally know! Their knowledge is incredible!Thanks!
Thank you, Paul, Nat, and Rob! That was a very cool lesson! I love hearing about the history of rocks. That's what makes them special to me. Dr Nat's videos are great!
This was an awesome video with so much info! I was in michigan last week and I was surprised at myself for being able to identify so many rocks! I owe that to your channel Michigan Rocks!
Thanks to the three of you. That was very interesting and informative information. My wife, dogs, and I were in the UP and around the upper glove a couple of weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
Wow this was a awesome video. Thanks Paul and Nat! So interesting listening to them identifying rocks and hearing how they were made. I just got a book on Great Lakes rocks. And have been reading about the ice ages and the Canadian shield. Thanks Rob!
@@MichiganRocks Hi!!! I just got this reply from you tonight!!! You Welcomed me a month ago!!! I see you have some new videos!! I’ll check them out later today!!! Been busy! Let us hope we get this beautiful Fall weather for along time!!! Let’s say, “Tell January!!!!!”. Onky in our dreams, huh?!?!? Take Care, both you and Nancy!!! 🤗❤️🙏
@@kimfrommn7162 That's weird. At least you got it eventually. I have a few projects I'd like to get done before the snow flies too, so I hope we have a long, warmish fall.
Thank you Dr. Nat, Captain Paul and Rob. This was excellent !!! I’ll be reviewing this quite often and I’ve learned what some of the rocks are that I’ve been wandering what they were. I’m going to share this with my rockhounding daughters.
We just got to Cheboygan and I see this pop up! Great timing as my 8 year old girl loves rocks. She wants to find a pudding stone, a petoskey stone, and we hope to make it up to find a Yooperlite. It’s nice seeing what other rocks and fossils we can see since we are staying on Lake Huron. We are horrible rock finders as we are very new to the hobby, but Michigan Rocks has provided a great education. Thank you for the great content.
You're too far north to find Petoskeys. You might get luck and find a stray one, but most are south of Rogers City. Cheyboygan is a great area for finding puddingstones though.
What a great video Rob, it was gneiss, well interesting anyway. My identification of rock my just improve for green ones, red ones, striped ones and lumpy ones. Oh and George, the name rocks get if I don’t know what they are. Thanks for sharing
Great video. I have a 5 gallon bucket full of porphyritic basalt in all different colors, very common rock in Southern Colorado. Makes nice landscaping rock.
Thanks for the amazing and informative video Paul Nat and Rob. Wish there was a way to download all that knowledge to my brain cause it would be nice to know more of what I'm looking at or for. Will say though that you can't replace the experiences and memories while learning while you're out rock hounding.
@@MichiganRocks interesting! Watching your videos it always seemed like huron was different. The Petoskey often looks different to me and ive never found a pudding stone... but maybe i just havent gone far enough north. I hunt manistee to Leland...
@@enricojaun2880 Hey Enrico, do you live in the Manistee area ? We hunt between Manistee and Charlavoix and the Pudding stones are almost nonexistent. If you do find one there very small. I live in extreme northern Indiana but have a place in Wellston, Mi which is on M-55 about half way between Manistee and Cadilac.
@@davidhile5363 hi david, i wish i lived up that way! Im unfortunately in Maryland, but we have a family cottage in manistee that my grandfather had built. I get up there for 2 or 3 weeks of vacation a year... Thanks for the pudding stone info!
Great informative video! By the way Rob, I finally was able to get one of your Petoskey stone turtles and a few of your crosses. They are beautiful! Love your videos, keep em coming! 👍😊
duuuude... this was AWESOME! Rob you gotta bring them along with you more often each year! Please do more of these videos. ....and i dunno if you've ever been to the Canadian side of Huron, but all the way from Tobermory down to Grand Bend, there remains an extraordinary assortment to marvel at. This is now one of my favourite videos... hundreds of types to find, would love to learn them all ;-)
I’d love to have Nat and Paul on more often, but they live in Texas. They come to Michigan every summer, so I’ll try to meet up with them at least once a year.
🙋♀️🌞Neat! Your friends are excellent teachers! I'll put this one aside to watch again and learn a bit. But I'm sure glad there won't be a test on Monday!🙃
My fiancé got his Masters in geology (studied geography as an undergrad) and he loves it when I show you his videos! He grew up within spitting distance of Lake Michigan and I went to school in Duluth and, suffice it to say, we both LOVE the Great Lakes and love looking at Lake Michigan from a different perspective (as well as Lake Huron)!!
I have a little red rock with a white stripe through it I got from lake Michigan, Indiana dunes side. I thought it was a little piece of marble. I guess it's not?
Wow! I really enjoyed having Dr. Nat and Paul describing the processes of formation and history of each stone. THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! LOL! I'm subbing Dr. Nat's channel. Thanks for having them on.
I have been mentally teleported back to my physical geography classes in the 1980s. Had a geologist boyfriend back then, too. This channel is about the hunt for me but it was fun getting more of the science for a change.
Jerry from S.W. Michigan. My father and I were rockhounding all over Upper and Lower Peninsulas' back in the late 50s through the 70s.One time near Petoskey in the woods we found a rock 3 foot in diameter. it was covered in Petoskey stone. We ended up just chipping a piece off to prove our story. Love the videos, but most I love the rocks, because Michigan "ROCKS"
There's a huge Petoskey Stone at the Besser Museum in Alpena. It's probably a couple feet square and it's completely Petoskey Stone all over. It's an awesome rock.
Beautiful enthusiasm this is exactly why I love TH-cam videos like this, you get to see people talking about subjects you know nothing about and their passion brings it alive in the exact same way that you remember the good teachers in school making a subject more interesting by the passion they bring to it.
Very nice team you’ve put together, always so cool to learn things, but more info on our rocks? Outstanding! Thanks to your guests as well as you Rob. Your work is always appreciated.
@@MichiganRocks Agreed! I’ve already followed up on your recommendation on Dr. Nat’s videos. I watched the one on the formation of banded iron (fascinating), then subscribed. Good stuff.
Hello there! I recently watched your video on identifying rocks in Lake Huron, and I must say, it was incredibly informative. As an aspiring geologist, I found your explanations and demonstrations to be clear and engaging. It's evident that both of you have a deep understanding of the subject matter🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What an awesome video, what a treat! That was a great refresher for rock identification. Thanks for the fun video and please pass along my appreciation to Paul and Nat!
As I learn more about geology, I come back to this video and watch it again to test how much I have grasped. i probably have watched this 10 times now. To walk on a beach now is a whole new experience and I love that. Thanks for making this . Knowledge is a powerful feeling. JK
We are going to have to ask you if you brought all these rocks because we find amazing rocks but never anything like that lol. Super great video! These two were so interesting and so full of knowledge and I learned so much from them. Thank you so much for introducing them and I will check out her channel..
Wow, a lot of words I have to look up! Thank you Paul and Nat for your thoroughly interesting geology lesson. I'm going to be busy tonight reading definitions and rewatching the video. And, of course, thank you Rob for having these wonderful experts on to educate me so I can brag to my two sons about how much geology I know, next time we are rock hounding on the great Gitchie Gumee! 😅
That was really kind of you to include me in the list of people to give you a geology lesson. In reality, I was just the guy holding the camera. I hope you really impress your sons with your newfound knowledge.
@@MichiganRocks I've learned a lot from you too!! You were literally the first channel that I found that renewed my interest in rock hounding and lapidary work. You also introduced me to Agate Dad, Wild Kyle and now Paul and Nat. I'm struggling with lower back issues right now and haven't been able to get out on the beaches of late but I am hoping for late September after my therapy is finished. You keep me excited about what's out there to find when I'm up and at it again. Dude, you're the GOAT! ☺
There's a new Lake Superior version of this video with 47 rocks identified here: th-cam.com/video/lWTgUbdccJE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much I am enjoying these videos so much❤

Wow, she has an incredible wealth of knowledge about geology. Please tell her thank you so much for sharing her time with us. It was awesome!
I think you just did. I'm pretty sure they're reading the comments too.
Absolutely amazing! I was holding my breath, I got so drawn into her play by play explanations! Next level educational work, thank you so much.

So thoughtful of Canada to share their rocks with us. I like those better than the cold winds they send in the winter.
Thanks Canada!
😆
You’re welcome 😁
Love their enthusiasm; it's definitely contagious! Very fascinating video. Thanks, Rob!
I love the casual way they can just jump into an amazingly detailed explanation of all these random rocks. Amazing!
I agree!
Rob, thank you so much for taking us on an absolutely fun day of rock collecting. And extra thanks to you and Nancy for such a delicious dinner! We look forward to seeing you again!
I'm glad you enjoyed the day, Nat. I sure did too and Nancy and I both enjoyed dinner and good conversation with you and Paul at our house. If we don't get a chance to see each other in the U.P. let's make sure we get together again next summer.
My god Nat is a living breathing geology text book. Awesome education yall gave us, ty :)
I am in awe of Dr Nat’s knowledge of geology!
That quartzite that shows markings from a river back when it was just sandstone was one of the coolest to me! Really puts it into perspective
That was pretty cool. I've seen quite a few rocks like that. We found another one after shooting the one you saw.
What a great geology lesson and tutorial on how these rocks are formed and recreated . Thanks Rob , see you soon my friend . Cheers

I have thanked them. I was really happy to have them on again.
I really found the quartz versus quartzite comparison helpful
I learned that I have been calling a lot of stuff quartz that is actually quartzite.
Wow, great program! Thank you for exceeding any expectation
Well done, best ever
I have been looking forward to them coming here for over a year. I wasn't disappointed either. That was a fun and educational day.
They seem like great-well educated people. Need more videos like this!!! I learned so much!
They're both geology professors with PhDs, so yes, they're very well educated. I'm thrilled that they were willing to do a video with me.

Every day is a jackpot when you get to spend it on the beach.
What a variety of rocks! I enjoyed the identification and formation history.
Great information. My cottage is in Hillman Michigan, Lake Avalon. The rocks I find are similar to the ones you’re showing me from Lake Huron. Awesome.
Yep, I would expect a lot of the same stuff to be in Hillman.
Great idea to have geologists on!!! Like knowing what kind of rocks they are.
Thanks Rob. That was really interesting! It had a lot of good information.
Lots of experience and training on display here. Very helpful!
Exceptional video! Combining two of my fav channels - Michigan Rocks + Dr. Nat. What a great idea! Hope you guys can do a part two at some point.
I hope so too.

Yay! This was great Rob, thanks!
This is awesome!!! It would be interesting to do this on lake Michigan, superior, and Huron. Especially if there are minerals unique to each lake!

We ended up just chipping a piece off to prove our story. Love the videos, but most I love the rocks, because Michigan "ROCKS"
There's a huge Petoskey Stone at the Besser Museum in Alpena. It's probably a couple feet square and it's completely Petoskey Stone all over. It's an awesome rock.
That was the most informative video ever! I found it fascinating! Thanks so much.
I enjoyed this one and learned a lot too.
Thanks for introducing us to them and vise versa.
You're welcome, Rebecca.
Wow so interesting and what an amazing woman full of knowledge and expertise, 😍 loved it 🥰
Beautiful enthusiasm this is exactly why I love TH-cam videos like this, you get to see people talking about subjects you know nothing about and their passion brings it alive in the exact same way that you remember the good teachers in school making a subject more interesting by the passion they bring to it.
Yep, enthusiasm is contagious.
geology class, glad i don't have to get quizzes and tests and grades for that. i love geology! 👍😁
Very nice team you’ve put together, always so cool to learn things, but more info on our rocks? Outstanding! Thanks to your guests as well as you Rob. Your work is always appreciated.
Paul and Nat deserve the thanks for this one. I had the easy job.
@@MichiganRocks Agreed! I’ve already followed up on your recommendation on Dr. Nat’s videos. I watched the one on the formation of banded iron (fascinating), then subscribed. Good stuff.
Hugely helpful for I’d very easy to understand thanks so much
Hello there! I recently watched your video on identifying rocks in Lake Huron, and I must say, it was incredibly informative. As an aspiring geologist, I found your explanations and demonstrations to be clear and engaging. It's evident that both of you have a deep understanding of the subject matter🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm not sure Nat and Paul are reading these comments anymore. You should check out Dr. Nat's channel. www.youtube.com/@DrNat13
I usually visit once or so a week...
What an awesome video, what a treat! That was a great refresher for rock identification. Thanks for the fun video and please pass along my appreciation to Paul and Nat!
I'll do that, David. Looking forward to hunting some rocks with another geologist next week.
Wow what a blast!!! Thanks!!
Love this! So helpful, thanks Dr Nat. Subscribed to your vids.
Fascinating video. Thanks Rob.
Very infomative. Thanks to Paul and Nat for taking the time to share their knowledge. Another great vid from Michigan Rocks
What a wonderful video! I'll have to watch it a few times to grasp all that was put forth. Wow! Thanks so much
I just filmed this about three weeks ago and I feel like I need to watch it again already too.
As I learn more about geology, I come back to this video and watch it again to test how much I have grasped. i probably have watched this 10 times now.
To walk on a beach now is a whole new experience and I love that.
Thanks for making this . Knowledge is a powerful feeling. JK
We are going to have to ask you if you brought all these rocks because we find amazing rocks but never anything like that lol. Super great video! These two were so interesting and so full of knowledge and I learned so much from them. Thank you so much for introducing them and I will check out her channel..
Ha ha! No, I didn't bring any rocks to the beach with me. We found all those in the wild that day.
This was a fantastic video! Thanks for making this. I’m definitely watching this again and taking notes.
Wow, a lot of words I have to look up!
Thank you Paul and Nat for your thoroughly interesting geology lesson. I'm going to be busy tonight reading definitions and rewatching the video.
And, of course, thank you Rob for having these wonderful experts on to educate me so I can brag to my two sons about how much geology I know, next time we are rock hounding on the great Gitchie Gumee! 😅
That was really kind of you to include me in the list of people to give you a geology lesson. In reality, I was just the guy holding the camera. I hope you really impress your sons with your newfound knowledge.
@@MichiganRocks I've learned a lot from you too!!
You were literally the first channel that I found that renewed my interest in rock hounding and lapidary work. You also introduced me to Agate Dad, Wild Kyle and now Paul and Nat.
I'm struggling with lower back issues right now and haven't been able to get out on the beaches of late but I am hoping for late September after my therapy is finished.
You keep me excited about what's out there to find when I'm up and at it again.
Dude, you're the GOAT! ☺
@@mom42boys I hope that back heals up. I have occasional back problems and it's not fun at all.
