    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!

    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.
