Thanks for taking us along to enjoy the "serene serenity" 🙂
Hahahaa I noticed that part when editing. I think I'll use that more. 😂
So many beautiful fossil’s everywhere! So glad to see you and your sister hanging out together and having fun!
Thanks for sharing your peaceful visit to the lakeshore and your finds! Yesterday I was able to go with my local gem and mineral society on a trip to the Lake Michigan lakeshore. We were mainly collecting septarian nodules, but I also found some small pieces with crinoid stem pieces! It was a gorgeous day, and the water was wonderful! It is wonderful to get out in nature and collect!
That sounds like a fun time! My video just before this one was hunting for septarian nodules on Lake Michigan!
Always makes us happy to see your videos, Kyle!
I see good looks run in the family . Looks like you’re having so much fun.
❤️❤️❤️
Yay i love getting a WILDKYLE notification 🎉
23:50 that's the sternum of a seagull, as a kid i found one at the beach and was stoked thinking it was a cool skull. Took it to my biology teacher and she told me it was a seagull sternum.
Fossils with Kyle and his beautiful sister! Excited to see what you guys find!
I absolutely love Partridge Point! And Rockport Quarry! I don't ever want to leave when I'm there! Fossils galore 😊❤️ Thanks for the video Kyle. Hope you are doing well.
Never stop doing what you’re doing. I can just see thousands upon thousands of children watching this sentient inspired to go in a direction. They never thought they would go after watching you. I wish you were around 60 years ago so I could’ve been inspired like I am now thank you Thank you thank you thank you for all that you do. May God bless you and your family keep on keeping on. I thought I heard a rockhounder say that once I’m not sure which one though 😂lol
Always a fun adventure Kyle. Nice to see you back in Michigan with your sister. Hopefully Natalie can come out with you next time.
Hi, Wild Kyle and Wild Sister!
Your sister is beautiful! Awesome video!
I love watching your videos! They take me back also. I grew up in Michigan as an avid rock and fossil collector. And now I live in Florida and have converted to Florida fossils when i get the chance. Thank you! ❤
I am so happy to watch you, Kyle. I always look forward to your fossil hunts.
I live about two hours from there been wanting to go and check it out. Sturgeon point light house is a fun place to rock hunt. It’s also very pretty just to hang out and have a picnic.
It's definitely worth checking out! I always come home with cool stuff when I go to Partridge Point or Rockport.
Thanks for taking us along. Always cool to hang out with you. Those death plates are awesome.
Brings back so many happy memories of me hunting. I have a lovely crinoid stem from the Carboniferous in Northern England. Wish I could show you.
Very nice that you got to spend time with your sister too. So interesting all the different types of fossils you find.
Awesomeness
😎👍
Good creek finds
Wow. I need to take a trip to Alpena.
I LOVE finding fossils and I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Those bones were from a bird, probably a gull or duck. The crinoid stems at the end were so detailed and beautiful. It's good you got to hang out with your sister.
The stacked up rocks looks like someone was making a waterfront bushcraft shelter.
You found wonderful things there....I would like to have such wonderful things in our country (Romania, EU). Congratulations!
You have fossils of dwarf dinosaurs in Romania! (And fantastic minerals.)
Great day! Sending love your way always.
Love this video.
We live on a farm in Southern NJ and we find horn coral all the time in the plowed up soil. My kids and I would fossil hunt right after the plows went through. They love to fossil hunt to this day. We take trips to Big Brook in Colts Neck NJ.
Lots of shark teeth and remnants of squid. Scallop and clam shells too.😊
The little single pieces would make cute earrings!
The orange and yellow flower is Jewelweed.
Great video! Appreciate the extra info about your finds👍👍
What a beautiful place.
Awesome Crynode stems! Perfectly preserved! Love your videos and hello to your amazing beautiful sister!
That orange speckled flower you noticed at 22:41 is known as Jewelweed, Impatiens capensis. It is an annual that readily reseeds. Pretty plant.
You're definitely way more knowledgeable than I am so I can learn a lot from you..
31:12!!! Amazing crinoid!!😊
Amazing! I enjoyed the heck out of that❤❤
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
That's a great area. Would love to get there one day. I have found awesome death plates in Kentucky.
I'm definitely heading to Alpena soon. I hit Whitefish Point last weekend and it was awesome for rock hounding, just like everyone said. I
Heck yeah, good stuff.
Welcome back to Mi
That hooked looking piece...what came to mind was Grinch coral. 😂
Hi Kyle,hope you find the greatest fossil today.
I love the mini death plates. I’ll buy one😊
Fascinating Kyle, thanks!
That Crinoid stem at 31:08 is gorgeous!
I agree. Looked like it could have been alive not long ago.
Dame of stones!
Fun video! The small death plates are so cool! ❤️
Awesome video Wild Kyle. Very interesting
You say we are nerds like it's a bad thing! Lol! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA
I'm up just below Mackinaw.
weird...this didn't show up in my feed even though the bell notification is on. welp, glad I found it
UA-cam seems to have these sorts of issues a lot 😭
At time stamp 4:06 there was an arrowhead laying there between the other rocks
So many amazing fossils, Kyle! Yep, I'm definitely a nerd!🤣❤️
I will need that in writing Kyle.....haha! Me being called a Nerd!!! Wish there were more places where I could fossil hunt, even if I don't find anything. Could watch you all day. I also learn so much from you and share it with friends who are none the wiser.
The bones are a bird of some sort. Maybe a goose or large duck? The piece that looks a bit like a lower jaw is called a furcula-in a turkey it’s commonly called a wishbone.
We’ve had some really warm weather recently in Michigan, often competing with the mid to southern States. But it’s cooling back down to normal now, thank goodness. 🥵
Stepping on the beach dadala de doo
SpongeBob 😂
Thanks WildKyle and WildSister 😁
When I was a child I would find chinois stems as single worm beads, with holes in them.
I always felt they were made into bead by early native peoples. 😊
Geez spellings 😂 crinoid
Worn
Cool🤩🤩💖
Nice work
Born raised in Michigan ❤
With. Two bad knees and over 65 I can't do the fun stuff you can do. So I sure enjoy your work, fun and adventures. Thank you. Leta
Back in the 1960’s…..as a child obviously - in southeastern Indiana, we found beautiful horned coral in the creek beds. We had collected a couple hundred of them and piled them in a friend’s yard for safe keeping - we thought. Their father found them and said they were evil! He threw them all away! 🥺
He said they were evil?! What in the world! How could anyone think such a thing? 😭
Cool fossils! That yellow and orange flower was jewel weed.it’s used to treat bee stings and poison ivy. Great video!
That looks like a bell, so awesome.
Yepp Kyle, even though it's been an extreme wet summer here in Michigan, the water levels haven't risen because of the dry winter and lack of snow in the north.
The pretty orange flower is called Jewelweed or Spotted Touch Me Not. You can make a salve from it for poison ivy itching!
Pure Michigan ❤
❤️❤️❤️
A lot of people call the parts on top of the crinoid arms. So neat looking the ones you found.
22:40 Impatiens capensis or spotted touch-me-not. The "touch-me-not" is because the seed pods explode when you touch them.
23:28 Bird bones
I grew up in SW OhiO collecting Ordovician fossils in the Cincinnati Arch, which is older than where you are collecting (about 450 million years old). The fossils there are often complete and undamaged. I found several crinoid calyx with the pinnules present. Also, several very nice flexicalymene meekis, both rolled and flat.
I enjoyed the flowers just as much as all of the Devonian fossils! Do you ever plan to collect in KY again soon?
I agree that the plant is jewelweed, also known as spotted jewelweed and also touch me not. If you touch a ripe blossom it will fire its seed pod out of the flower throat.❤many terrific specimens today
I used to find crinods ,etc in the various gravel piles at work .and even some fossilized horse tail bits.
The orange flowers are jewelweed. Supposed to be an ancient remedy for poison ivy
It does take stinging nettle away when you rub the stem on the affected area
Crush a stem, use the goop on skeeter bites!!
They are Jackie
Jewel weed crushed does deactivate the irushiol from poison ivy. I have used it a few times on my aunty who keeps forgetting what poison ivy looks likes and crawls right into it.
Her new house was covered in it. But their back yard had a lot of jewel weed. So we pureed a bunch and rubbed it all over her and then had her shower with cool water(hot water spreads it into your pores ) and fels naptha soup. She didn't break out in hives.
I haven't tried it with stinging nettle.
I'd just wear water shoes. Lol
Uuu great finds❤i really love those little round ones(cant remember the name😂)
Great day u 2 had❤👋🇫🇮
Us nerds nerding out over beautiful fossils love it 😂❤❤❤
Great album name Endless Expanse of the Mind 😊
The stunning orange flower is jewelweed. The seed pods explode when they're ripe and shoot the seeds away from the parent plant. the juice is said to be good for mosquito bites and poison ivy
Ohhh! I remember seeing those shoot the seeds out when I was a little kid. Didn't know these were the same ones. That's awesome!
The skeletal remains are of a good sized bird. Really large wishbone. The small orange flowers are jewelweed, also known as spotted touchme nots. If you ever get into Arkansas you can find crinoids bigger around than you thumb. Really nice Ordovician limestone at Richland Creek Wilderness Area.
My favorite find is the popular Petoski stones.
Next time, bring a small spray bottle of water with you to help you see details when the stones are too dried out.
I am so incredibly jealous it's unreal. Love it for you tho! but jealous for me 😅
great video
Been watching your videos for almost 5 years and I'm just finding out you're also a Michigander
Yep! Born in Saginaw and grew up in Caro. I left at about age 13 to go down to Georgia with my Dad!
Jewelweed flowers are a major diet for migrating hummingbirds
I'm guessing you watched a lot of Mister Rodgers Wild Kile!
Hi WyldKyle! 😊 At minute 22:45 - call it what you may, but that is a Touch-Me-Not which grow Wyld in Michigan only during the hottest part of the Summer.
Wonderful video! I found crinoid fossils when I was living in Las Vegas-- the rocky, harsh hills around it are ancient coral beds and there's all sorts of stuff there. One thing I always wondered was if any Native Americans ever drilled the loose stem fossils and used them as beads-- has anyone ever seen an example of this? (Also, I think that's an Eastern Garter Snake your sister found, and the gorgeous orange flowers are Common Jewelweed; beautiful! You can crush up jewelweed and put it on poison-ivy rash and it'll take the itch right away and help it heal very quickly. Heh, I'm from the Deep South and now live in the Southwest, but I spent some time up north and learned a few things to recognize; jewelweed is both gorgeous and really useful field medicine.) Hmm; I bet those death-plates would look amazing if they were polished down. I'm curious about those bones you found-- the lower jaw didn't seem to have any sockets for teeth at all-- a really large turtle? There didn't seem to be any shell fragments, though, so...?
Kyle! Such an awesome video of rocks for us rock netds!! I'd pick up and keep.alotnof those flat 9 inch or 8 inch pieces FULL of fossils ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡❤😊
Send me a slab pleeeeeeeessssssseeeeee!!!!!!❤ love from Nebraska 😊
❤
Bird skeleton; the orange flower is Jewelweed, Impatiens capensis
Awesome adventure ! One wonders where are all the fish fossils ? Does this deposit predate fish ?
The only fish fossils I've seen in Michigan are in Rockport Quarry and it's only the scales that fossilize. You pretty much only find them fragmented, but it's still awesome when you find some!
Where about in Alpena?
I've been to the Rock Port quarry twice but haven't seen where you were..
Great video and thanks for sharing
Those stems could be easily made into beads. Just sayin'... Have been watching for a long time. Enjoy your hunts & music too! 😘
Oh I wished I was there. I call them Indian beads. Been collecting them for yrs so I can make necklaces for my grandkids. Whenever I get some that is. Lol lol
So I was just watching and it occurred to me that all of those death plates remind me of like a steam punk junkyard. Like imagine if those bits were metal?
