    One thing, though: as you yourself already suggested, the word "steinkern" is indeed of German origin. The word "Stein" meaning "stone" and "Kern" meaning nucleus ;)

    I am just in awe of your ability to see that odd-shaped rock, and mentally fit it to the rocks you already have, over a period of months. So cool! And speaking of cool, I'd trade a little of your frost for our current weather, we're having high 90's now (Fahrenheit) Of course I shouldn't complain, we normally are already in the 100's, so we're having a cooler than normal summer. Anyway, loved it!

    You should keep a small portion of the OG rock from that whale skeleton with you whenever you go looking for more bits. Would make finding potential rocks that might be to hard to turn over or maybe even obscured easier. Like a small chip off the bigger ones. Just a thought. Would certainly take guess work out of the equation, you find a suspect rock, you put the chip on it, and figure it.

I used to paddle canoe and kayak in winter at night especially fun when it snowed. Also went white water in winter open kayak some. I bet a dry suit and an air compressor would be fun alittle bit out in the water. There are people here that hunt Meg teeth and mammoth teeth, even saw a video of a guy that found a sperm whale jaw with teeth intact in a river. But the river is infested with gators. Look forward to your next video, between you and Aquachigger I'm wanting to hunt things again. Been a while.
