Hello! I found some interesting bivalves and a large gastropod fossil/s in the Chihuahuan desert, just to the west of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. They are all a mouse gray color. I have been trying to identify them by class/ order to no avail. I am reading field guides, watching fossil videos, and looking on the Internet. The bivalves are mostly clams, mostly smooth, ( some ridged) but there appears to be mussels and/ or oysters too. The geological age of the region is Quartenary, but I heard to not rely on that 100% because older strata can be found in arroyos, weathered cliffs, etc. The fossils are pretty weathered. This video is crucial for me to figure out more! I am organizing my collection, and want to label things beyond the generic terms of " snail" " clam" and such.

Your Bloopers are adorable 😍 and adds such a real, human factor to your Lectures!! OMG! Turbinates!! 😁 Never knew what they were called. Here's something that you MIGHT find interesting... especially about Genus: Turbo. I was a Racing Car driver and Engine Builder for many years (my main Hobby). Turbochargers are a common feature of high horsepower Engines. A Turbocharger really resembles a Turbinate... In fact we always called Turbochargers "Snails"! I THOUGHT it was just a play on words, because they made slower Engines FAST, while actually reducing harmful emissions. 😉 In this one, you REALLY taught me something intriguing!! Another tidbit, the Conch is the only Gastropod that I find appetizing! I know that the French enjoy several Snails 🐌.... But I never could get myself to try one. Even though the Conch technically IS a Snail!!

Wow go figure! I never knew there was a connection between snails and engines! hahaha And yea, I used to do the bloopers a lot, I liked that I shared the imperfections so people knew I was no where near perfect, but I stopped adding them in my newer videos because I just don't make as many mistakes or at least not funny ones anymore haha, but I do think it's a fun addition to my older videos for people that go back and watch those ;)

@@momosketches_dk7743 Wow that's so great to hear! Congrats! 🎉 And I am a PhD student currently, so not yet a doctor, but almost! ;D

Isn't it curious how organisms evolve without a plan and build themselves up from a single cell? It's so similar to how ai responds to a prompt and builds itself up into a work of art.

dude you saved my final for sure. it’s so find to hard Geo review stuff on this site sometimes

Thank you for uploading this video - jampacked with information! I'll watch this in two sessions cause going through all those coils in one session would just make me dizzy. 🙂

Hi, snails make pearls, too. 😊

2:00 - Those molluscs that do not have shells are more rarely preserved due to a lack of the shells, and this is obviously. Though some of them are able to be preserved potentially, but only in Lagerstattes. MORE STREET GASTROPOD FINDS EVEN WITHOUT SHELLS!!!

#GEOGIRL #GEOGIRL I ❤️ #GEOGIRL My favorite day of week is when you release new video. Time to watch this entire video
