I check my Patreon feed once per week on Sunday morning, and I get irrationally excited when there's a new Cody video. There's something about the topics Cody covers and the way they're presented that I find very unique and enjoyable to watch.
That turned out really well! Also that's a super cool rock! I also wonder if it would be feasible to attempt to make a geode bar of soap using a combination of the grey soap and a commercially made brightly coloured transparent soap bar? Edit: turns out geode soap bars are popular among DIY and commercial and of course there's plenty of patents on all sorts of soap bars including 'composite soap bar consisting of embedded shapes of differing hardness'.

I work cutting limestone for homes and buildings, and it’s not uncommon to find fossils in the blocks we get, but it’s not nearly as dense as your example. That’s quite amazing
This was such a cool thing to watch. From the first idea to try to make soap from beeswax to realizing that it makes the soap harder and dissolve slower. Then, the fossil idea and the completion of the final product.
As a soap maker, the beginning was so chaotic and the end filled me with so much joy. It was what soap making is all about. Creativity! It was an awesome video and a super cool end result!
This is honestly one of the best how to videos of natural made soap from a chemistry perspective. I really enjoy this Cody and the perspective it provides in TH-cam is essential
i reckon a little bit of finely ground pumice would add an interesting (and possibly more authentic) "feel" to the soap. perhaps use that in the portion of the soap that is mimicking the calcite inclusions. just a thought.
Woah. Beautiful effort! The similarity you managed to reproduce in both color and resolute texture are spot on. It would be so cool to put the reference rock you found (which absolutely blew me away) in that CT/X-ray scanning machine Curiousmarc recently got the chance to use on his Apolo mission components. Nevertheless, hats off to you sir.
Cody saying that the surface of the rock is just a 2d slice gives me an idea, what if you cut a rock like this, took an image of the cut surface, ground a little bit more of the surface off, took another picture, and kept going all the way through, you could end up with a 3d volume of the rock, and reconstruct the fossils in 3d. Has anyone done something like this?
we already do that with animal specimen. They impregnate organs/bits of tissue with plastic resin (it's called plastination), then cut it into super fine slices, generally with diamond blades. They don't normally reconstruct a 3d model with it though. They're encased in microscope slides for observation. Obviously its very useful to teach med students etc, but it's also used in diagnostics, since it allows doctors to see exactly the shape and arrangement of cells, which can help identify different types of cancer for example.
@@The_Keeper I don't think that's right, how does the MRI get the 2d slices? I know a CT scan constructs a 3d volume from 2d x-ray scans, but x-rays don't take a slice like that
@@robmckennie4203 The MRI uses magnetism to do the same as a CT scan, only magnetism with far more penetration, thus a crearer image, and no radiation from X-rays.

I have notifications turned on but I swear I never got any notification about the last 10 or so videos nor did they ever appear in my recommended. EDIT: Finished watching to the end, and wow. This is the coolest thing I've seen on TH-cam in a LONG time. I never knew soap could be formed like that. Thank you, Cody, for putting the time and effort into producing this video and sharing with us. I really appreciate it and look forward to trying something like this myself!
I tend to sometimes forget that Cody studied geology, only to then be reminded of that again in videos like those. Glad to have our geologist explain rocks to us :D
4:32 is that Forbidden Buttercream Frosting 👀 Love these soap videos, I've tried my hand making some now with varying levels of success, However it is still fun nonetheless! Have a good one Cody👍
I always like watching you, especially your habit of using metric units, makes it just that little bit more digestible for us non-US folk. Not that should eat soap, or lye. I found out in chem class that bases are really good for cleaning and quite "soapy" ie slippery. I bet I drop my teacher batty I always tried to find "unapproved" uses for all the cool chemicals. But my teacher and I stayed after school once to make "moderate" amounts of nitrogen triiodide, with expected results. No one was harmed, and property damage was minimal, only the stains remained for years. But after that no more practical investigation into unstable nitrogen bonds. 🤣 I said bonds...
I actually got into the hobby of soapmaking from your first video I discovered on it where you made soap completely out of beeswax. Been really fun creating something for fun that also has a function. Thanks for the awesome video's.
Mate, I found your channel because you implanted a magnet in your finger so you could feel the magnetic field. All the crazy stuff since hasn't disappointed. Such a boss, unique channel.
Really taking your creative impulses to a whole new level!! I was already impressed before you wetted it and rinsed away some of the gray but once you did the effect of the relief making the fossil bits pop was astonishing and made it look so much more like the real thing. Would love to see you take this further and really perfect it, maybe increase the fossil density, add some more mineral inclusions, etc. No joke I'd pay good money for some of this
Wow, can I buy one? Looks so amazing and you mentioned gritty feeling, as a mechanic I need grit to get grease and old oil off. Love how the fossils last longer than the limestone, I’d save the fossils on my shelf.
im in a super bad time of my life and seeing your video made me cheer up. thank you a bunch for this and i loved the idea of the soap. Kinda want to make my own soap now lol
Yoooo what a cool project! The soap bars look absolutely awesome, especially when the dark soap dissolved a bit Almost makes me wanna get into soap making
Just what I needed this morning some new Cody's lab ! I've been going through it lately and this is just the positive person I needed to have a better day thank you Cody!
This was worth the wait! I wonder, if you had enough time and energy for it you could probably sell some of these at a local market and make a bit more cash for your off-the-grid projects. Great work!
Hey Cody, truly thank you for all of your hard work! I know sometimes you may feel like your hard work is all for nothing but you truly are doing more than what most people will ever dream of! I am proud of you and I look forward to witness the beautiful works you will embark on! Regards :)
Cody, you are a creative and scientific genius. I really hope youtube sort the Adsense nonsense soon. People like you deserve all the respect and all of the attention in this day and age.
Can’t tell you how important this channel is man, out of highschool (in college) and this is still one of my favorite forms of education and entertainment!
I think you could improve the cracks by almost completely dissolving the white soap into a liquid sludge, and letting the big soap block dry in a drying oven. Then as it naturally cracks, just put it in the sludge slowly as to not trap any bubbles. this will create natural inclusions that are almost the same mechanism as the real thing. As the sludge wettens the cracks, you can just slowly compress the block back together for very thin but sharp inclusions.
That was awesome, makes me interested in making soap, plus those fossils were very cute and it's really nice to see them poke through when you use the bar ! Love your ideas Cody as always !
I love codys channel cause every time i hear his voice it's nostalgic, been subbed since 2013 so i was like 12 and had just moved to a big city with zero friends; hes been with me since i was a young buck😂 thanks for the uploads cody, you're freakin awesome man!❤️
For some foolish reason, I fully expected Cody to use some of those cheep silicon seashell molds they sell on amazon for making chocolate/soap/candy and whatnot. This was much more satisfying.
Awesome work Cody! Always love to hear about cool rocks and minerals, I would love to learn more about how to identify various different rocks, minerals and fossils.
Very cool and creative. Worked well. I am always hesitant to superfat my soap as most vegetable oils (e.g. coconut) are unsaturated fats and will oxidise. This can make the soap go yellow and smell bad. Using lard might help avoid this.
Hi , the bivalves in this limestone are Grypheas. This kind of limestone are used in the stairs of most of the buildings in the town where I studied (geology)
Cold process soap could be fun to do, there is less chance of the boiling. I believe your going far past trace, which is just mixed not when it is solidifying on you into a paste. Royalty soaps probably could be a really good help for making more liquid batches that you can pour into molds and shapes.
It turned out so well! I'm now desperate to give this a go - i didnt realise how easy making soap was! Are there any specific dyes that will dye the soap without dying the skin at all?
That was Cool! Watching you make those "fossils" reminded me of hard candy makers. With an imagination like yours, I think you'll do great things for science.
Hey Cody, look up the word "wackestone" Also, the Carboniferous goes from about 360-300 million years ago, so if it's 250 mya, that would actually make it from the latest stage of the Permian. However, I suspect that _is_ a Carboniferous wackestone, since you're in the south-western US and it reminds me somewhat strongly of certain formation I know. Also also, those are probably brachiopods, not clams - remember, you can always tell if the two valves (or shells) are symmetrical with one another, it's a bivalve, if the valves are not mirror images of each other, it's a brachiopod.
I have watched many videos of soap making and seen nearly all of em using premade soap cubes and they just add the color and oils etc, and u made the soap from scratch! which is amazing!
I am not sure why but I just love this video. The amount of effort is outstanding. Loved when in the beginning he had gloves on but when it came to manipulating the blackest stuff on the planet the gloves were off. When it looked like a liquorice all sort I wanted to eat it. The end result was just amazing. Such a great video thanks.
Awesome video! We make our own soaps too and this was cool to see. The rock you have is truly beautiful and it's cool as hell to see you make soap inspired by it. 👍😁 Came back to say how awesome your final soap turned out. 👍👍
That is some good lokkin' soap! Tip: Mix when both solitions are 55C°, after they get 'slurry', while mixing(~happens around 20 sec) add the wax(and fragrances if used). Your end product will be smoother, also the NaOH doesn't kill the smelly stuff etc.
Absolutely love the concept and the process looks satisfying and fun! If you did geodes or other rocks too, you could make some pretty nice gifts for people as well.
That was a very cool little fossil block you found Cody, I'd love to watch a video of you finding and splitting some more. The soap turned out very well and surprisingly realistic. I also collect marine fossils in the UK, most of mine are only 180 million years old though, brand new compared to your carboniferous examples.
I remember AvE saying that soap doesn't actually need to lather into bubbles in order to clean, what's your opinion on that seeing as you seem to really like bubbles in your soap?
Bubbles are like micro explosions to microscopic organisms, even if they survive, they have no choice but to go with the water. I will look in to that theory though, effectiveness is not superior to efficiency so I want to see how they do it.

to break up foam, keep a spray bottle with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol ready, relatively small amounts will break up that foam immediately.

Love how it erodes like a real rock with fossils just much faster. everyday new fossiles appear, definitely the most interesting soap lmao.
The best thing about Cody, Is he always keeps me guessing. Never know whats coming next. Well done.
Squatch would sell that for about 50 bucks a bar.

Im glad to see you posting videos again cody, you are by far my favorite youtuber. Keep up the great work and stay safe buddy.
I always appreciate your gentle demeanor.
Wow, your skill with making the soap shapes makes me think that you'd be really good at making image candy, what we call in Britain "Rock"
Rock candy is very different in America. It’s basically crystallized colored sugar on a stick, that looks like the inside of a geode.
Awesome work Cody! Always love to hear about cool rocks and minerals, I would love to learn more about how to identify various different rocks, minerals and fossils.
That is definitly in competition for coolest soap ever. I would be afraid of scratches from charcoal though.
Stay well clear of Swarfega then !
Way more abrasive material like walnut shells or sand is used in soaps. Charcoal powder should be perfectly fine
Very cool and creative. Worked well.

This is such a cool idea, I bet a soap company would actually run with the concept and make a professionally made line if you got in touch with one.
Honestly I have no idea how someone can be so knowledgeable about so many things.
That is some good lokkin' soap!
Tip: Mix when both solitions are 55C°, after they get 'slurry', while mixing(~happens around 20 sec) add the wax(and fragrances if used). Your end product will be smoother, also the NaOH doesn't kill the smelly stuff etc.
Cody if you have a KitchenAid mixer I'd recommend the grater attachment it works grate !
that "oops" in each and every video is constant as well as is the proof of originality
You did amazing. I can't believe how awesome they look.
When base sope disolved, especialy in the fosils, they look very realistic! Nicely done :))
Absolutely love the concept and the process looks satisfying and fun! If you did geodes or other rocks too, you could make some pretty nice gifts for people as well.
That was a very cool little fossil block you found Cody, I'd love to watch a video of you finding and splitting some more.
The soap turned out very well and surprisingly realistic.
I also collect marine fossils in the UK, most of mine are only 180 million years old though, brand new compared to your carboniferous examples.
That turned out really well!
Truly beautifully executed Cody. Bravo
"Squarified" --- I like that word!
you suprised me completely with how close you got it looking to the stone you found , Beautifull
Been watching this channel since I was a kid. Ur style has never changed and it's very nostalgic. Please never change, your brilliant
Cody's always got enough handmade gifts on hand for an entire orchestra it seems.
I remember AvE saying that soap doesn't actually need to lather into bubbles in order to clean, what's your opinion on that seeing as you seem to really like bubbles in your soap?
Bubbles are like micro explosions to microscopic organisms, even if they survive, they have no choice but to go with the water. I will look in to that theory though, effectiveness is not superior to efficiency so I want to see how they do it.
this is honestly like the coolest soap tutorial I've ever seen
