Rocks and Minerals (Old Scout No. 47)

Описание: This is episode No. 47 of Old Scout. It’s long. But! It has chapters, so feel free to skip around. In this episode, we start our collection of rocks, minerals, and fossils. Christian demonstrates mineral characteristics, then we go on a couple adventures. First, we got quite a haul at the Philadelphia Mineral Treasures And Fossil Fair. Next, we headed to the Franklin Mineral Museum in Franklin, NJ where we collected some specimens ourselves. We went on a self-guided geological tour in Wissahickon Valley Park. Finally we excavated some fossils(!) at the Montour Preserve Fossil Pit. Then all we had to do was build a suitable house to highlight the collection. 💎🪨👨🏻‍🔬⛰🦖🦴
