- What's My Rock? - Episode 10 - Special Zoom edition
Geology professor, Dr. Abstract, interviews Lindsey about her rock in this geology series on rock and mineral identification. Lindsey mailed her rock to the Doc and he analyzes it for her on Zoom. (Don't worry he sent it back to her.)
Is it a meteorite or meteorwrong? Is it gold or just shiny? Is it a fossil, a diamond, a gemstone? Dr. Abstract calmly and cheerfully sorts through it all!
The guests are not actors, but real people from Southern California who have independently contacted him for his geological expertise. In exchange for having their specimens analyzed and identified, they agree to be filmed for this TH-cam Channel. If you live in Southern California (or plan to be in the area) and you would like to appear on What's My Rock, send us a message with a picture of your rock. If you'd like to appear on Zoom, you'll have to mail us your rock, or a sample of your rock.
This is a Tectonic City production

Love this additional format💖Rock on!
I enjoyed this show! ❤
"I have a lot of rocks, I promise you" very classy.
Not sure if this is a dig but i am a geologist and I like digging so either way its all good
That’s one heck of a kidney stone. 😂
Ouch!
I would be curious to see the same magnet dangle test with something strongly magnetic to see the difference!
5:45 guess a mercury iron amalgam (mercury used to get used to extract gold from rivers) or slag again
(hahaha my guesses are always wrong)
We didn’t do an XRF analysis so hard to say if anything was mixed with Fe
A Rockhounders channel i can get down with =-) Ps My profile pic.... its a rock n its a mystery =-)
Looks like magnatite ? Lets see. Edit I was close hematite was my number 2 guess. Im a gold miner find bolders of magnatite find chunky gold. Biggest magnatite, i found was about a basketball size and 100lbs so i left it 😢.
LOL I’d have left it too
@tectonic_city if I ever find my pice of josephinite a rare high nickle naturally occurring ore that of course people would think is a meteorite I will send it to you maybe I'm wrong.
