Geology, Jazz, a good microphone (which is rare in alot of educational videos), good camera work and actual video or the rocks. And not a long drawn out boring speaking style. Great video!

What are some other questions you have about rocks? 🧐

I found this book, www.amazon.com/Geology-New-York-Simplified-Account/dp/155557162X within the SIBL library in NYC and read that the base of Long Island is composed of glacial waterfall dumpings. A lot of rocks were dumped out from those mile-high glacial walls. After halting the glacier wall also must've stayed put for a time to have dumped all the rocks creating Long Island, before receding. Becky, I wonder? are you any good, academically astute? at mathematics, … too? T'anks anywho's for an entertaining presentation. 👏🏻

Hi Beck! Another question for you, are Geodes found anywhere in NY? Always curious about that!

Great question! As far as I know, geodes are not likely to be found in NY. Geodes are usually more common in areas with volcanic rocks (sometimes in sedimentary rocks too, like limestone or dolomite- but the limestone units in ny aren't likely to have geodes). This is because geodes form when there is an empty space in that rock - then water flows through the rock into those empty spaces, and the minerals that were in the water interact with the chemical composition of that rock, and eventually crystals will grow in that space. Many volcanic rocks have vesicles - giving lots of space for those minerals to crystallize in. This is why 'Thunder eggs' are commonly found in places like Oregon - because of the recent volcanic history in those places, as well as the abundance of silica-rich rocks like rhyolite! Dolomite is another common rock type where geodes are found (I've found some in Wyoming before and it was super cool). New York State has several dolomite/dolostone formations, and although I don't believe they technically have 'geodes' (geodes are characterized by a hard, protective outer shell made out of the host rock - making it possible for them to remain even after the host rock has weathered away), I think you could still find some interesting samples with 'vugs' filled in with minerals like calcite. The famous Herkimer Diamonds (quartz, not real diamonds hahah) are actually formed in dolomite as well. I think mindat.org has a lot of useful info when you're looking for localities of certain rocks/minerals. Luckily, New York has a lot of other interesting mineral deposits and geologically interesting places that can make up for its lack of geodes. :) P.S. I have a box of geodes waiting to be cracked open for a video coming soon, so stay tuned!
