Jared I’m obsessed with your tiktoks! You are living the dream! That Mosasaur vertebrae gave me chills. I’m a second grade teacher, but geology/paleontology was always in the back of my mind! Thanks to you and your videos I’m able to nerd out!
THANK YOU for talking about atlatls and clarifying that the points (especially the bigger ones) people find that have any real age to them are mostly atlatl dart-points! I'm a flint-knapper myself, and it drives me crazy to hear every single point called an 'arrowhead.' Big difference in point size, propulsion, types of game it was made to take down, how you hafted them, etc. And you found some fine ones. Also, MOSASAUR BONES! Excellent video!
Great finds there, Jared! It seems your braving the cold weather absolutely paid off! Finding so many projectile points in one day is just crazy (by the way, atlatl - originally an Aztec word - remained in use far after bows and arrows were invented, and the Aztecs used them as instruments of war - whence their name)! And I absolutely love the look of that terminal caudal mosasaur vertebra. It's just so large, I can only imagine it having come from one of the larger species of mosasaur, quite possibly Tylosaurus proriger, based on your location...! Well done! 👏
I am very impressed with your videos, your knowledge is amazing and the visuals showing the species is wonderful to really understand the size of these prehistoric creatures. Best of luck I’ll be watching.
Could you give me a general idea of where I could look? I've seen where some fossils have been found in Texas but I am curious of the areas where you've had success. Thanks so much I love your videos!
I can't give you his exact location, but Sherman Texas in Grayson County has Post Oak Creek and between Honey Grove and Ladonia Texas in Fannin County there is Sulfur River. Both have excellent hunting.
Good job! Enjoyed your video. Great info explaining your finds. Also liked the photo references to each find What part of Texas is this? Good luck and Happy Trials 👍😎👍
Jared! Your videos are absolutely amazing. Your knowledge and your positive attitude are second to none! Thank you for these and keep them coming! I'm an Austin native so it is soo cool to see what might be in my own backyard! Do you have any literature, or any places you might recommend I take my son in Texas specifically?
Kick ass finds my dude Im from colorado and got into rock hounding a couple years ago Im new to texas my man. Mineral wells texas ive been here a couple days Glad to see texas has geology and fossils too
Love the videos Jared. They’re so cool. Do you keep everything you find? If so how do you store me categorise everything? I’d love to see a vid. Love from a British Archaeologist
thanks! I keep a few finds, and donate others. I'm not a particularly inspiring example for orderly presentation - I have most kept in display cases from amazon and others in boxes under my bed in queue to be prepared out of the rock
Hola Jared! Te sigo desde Instagram. Soy estudiante de Veterinaria pero soy una aficionada a la paleontología, me encanta la facilidad con la que encontras fósiles, me gustaría poder hacerlo, y sé que lo voy a hacer cuando por lo menos tenga el conocimiento básico porque de donde soy, hay cantidad de fósiles pero supongo que por la zona sólo he encontrado de caracoles y conchas… En fin, saludos desde la Patagonia Argentina!
Thanks for the vid man. It was great. You are super knowledgable and will have a bright future. From Australia..... Relatives of Steve Erwin gggrrrr... haha just joking.
Cool video! I LOVE THE GIANT PTYCHODUS! My husband and I do a lot of fossil hunting in north Texas, we have our own little museum at our house. We collect, fossils, minerals and other things that attract our attention. Would be cool if you joined us one day.
fascimating, man! I follow you on Tiktok - glad you made the jump! Just curious, what part of texas is this - and - what the hell is going in with your hands, yo? PS - i love the informative inlays you put in that provide informative context. Keep it going man, subscrubed!
I burn gas to go all over the state- Texas, as is much of the united states, is paved in fossils. And those are probably blood blisters from rock climbing or gymnastics. Glad you enjoyed!
thanks for the suggestion, I had to change cameras a few times so that probably explains the discrepancy. I'm looking forward to learning and fine tuning my approach to the UA-cam realm :)
Hey man my wife and I 6 year anniversary is coming up and we love hunting for fossils. Could you possibly tell me the drop in location so I can take my wife next weekend?
I hate that i have no paleontology schools near me.. It would be a dream to be a paleontologist but at the same time I don’t wanna go to school too far from home
most schools don't have a designated paleontology degree, the typical approach for us is to major in Biology or Zoology and then specialize into paleo in grad school. I'm a Zoology major for example. Also, many academic paleontologists didn't do it in college, I know a few who were engineers, burned out, and then transitioned into it halfway through their life. Anybody can publish papers and do good science. It's not restricted to academics :)
It's so encouraging to see a young person get this excited about science!

Great to see your interest and knowledge. Some nice points, makes me want to get out there !

Bro that's amazing !! So hyped to watch the next vidéo ! Beautiful find, thanks from France for sharing this :)
Glad you enjoyed! France is an excellent place for cretaceous fossils, hope you find some of your own soon :)
One of the dopest rockhounding Vids I have watched!
You really know what you're talking about and enjoy what you're doing out there, awesome video brother
Too cool. You Sure know your stuff! Very interesting 😎
Beautiful!

Thanks Alexander! I love the knowledgeable response, always learning something new from you
Love how exciting these treasures are for you, and we who see them too, 🎉.
Great following your adventures in the creek bed. You have a good eye for fossils and I'm really impressed with your knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
thanks Dave, much appreciated. Looking forward to showing y'all more!
Yes! Another paleo channel! Great finds. Nice artifacts and a mosasaur vert!
thanks!
Well done jared, very interesting...good luck with your channel
Definitely going to be looking forward to the future videos
thank you, already looking at ways to upgrade the quality and finding good stories to tell, hope you'll enjoy :)
Beautiful video great finds from good ol Texas
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
bruthah looks at a funny lookin rock and is able to give me some historical stories. super cool brah
Amazing finds! I especially love the ptycodus and the mosasaur vertebrae
Thanks! What's crazy is that the mosasaur vertebra is from the tail - it must have been a huge animal
@@jcookepaleobro pls I’ll trade my hidden local in East Texas where I find full jaws for this spot
Awesome job on your first vid man, looking forward to seeing the next ones!
Epic stuff!
thank you brother, you and I are gonna kick ass here
@@jcookepaleo 100% the eventual collab is gonna go crazy
I am very impressed with your videos, your knowledge is amazing and the visuals showing the species is wonderful to really understand the size of these prehistoric creatures. Best of luck I’ll be watching.
thank you :)
You should do more of these I loved your tiktoks
Absolutely will do!
Awesome video and finds Jared! Can’t wait to see more UA-cam content from you bro
much appreciated dawg
Bro awesome video! I’m in central texas and new into fossil hunting, this was very informative and practical. Also great camera work
I am so happy that you finally made the video
glad you enjoyed, much more on the way!

Im from colorado and got into rock hounding a couple years ago
Im new to texas my man. Mineral wells texas ive been here a couple days
Glad to see texas has geology and fossils too
It's honestly insane these things are just laying here, forgotten for millennia. I'd love to go there!
Where in the world in Texas are you? Clearly N Tx. But are you showing multiple creeks? All this stuff you found in the same creek?!? Holy Moly!
North sulfur River and all of its tributaries are full of cool fossils, artifacts etc.
Love the videos Jared. They’re so cool. Do you keep everything you find? If so how do you store me categorise everything? I’d love to see a vid.

Great finds!
Where is this located if you don't mind me asking? I fossil hunt in Denton,TX and found all kinds of fossils.
We just moved to Denton! Hi neighbor! Where are some good spots for fossil hunting around the Denton area?
my boi, let’s go! i’ll be down soon enough so you can show me around!
looking forward to it dawg!
Fancy meeting you here Dawson 👀! Nice video Jared!!
Awesome finds!
Let’s go Jared , welcome to UA-cam we can’t wait for new videos 🦖
thank you, glad to join the ranks of folks like yourself!
@@jcookepaleo 🙌
Very cool!
Cool channel! We also make fossil hunting videos in North Texas! Subscribed!
Is this north of Huntsville?
Awesome!!
Nice video came here because of your Instagram. Hope more vids will follow soon
Definitely! Glad you enjoyed
Where did you find all these? In Austin? and how do you know all this stuff about all these fossils?
What creeks should me and my teenage daughter start our fossil hunting experiences?
Pretty cool stuff.. Granite, everything you said was complete Greek.. I'm a computer nerd, not a fossil nerd... But still very cool.. Happy hunting
I have been dying to go fossil hunting. Can I please know the name of the creek?
What part of texas
We’re you at?
Amazing dude..
Cool channel I’ll subscribe
Do you live in tx? I’d love to take you out just west of Fort Worth. I have Tons of access to acreage with fossils
Gay
I thought you done an excellent job, explaining your finds. Something I find rare in Texas compared to Florida, and other States.
I hope youtube helps you out, I know there are a lot of people who love these longer videos of fossil hunting
much appreciated!
I'm a amateur ichnologist, I have found pterosaour tracks in San Antonio
awesome video 😊
I’m hoping I can find a ptycodus one day over here in the U.K.
From the lower chalk.
Some of the biggest, most well preserved specimens in the world come from the UK, best of luck!

I wish you best of luck then! I'd love to go to patagonia one day
More PLEASE!!!!!!!
More on the way!
Super interesting
this is so cool
I wish I lived in America so I could find stuff like you 😢 very nice video thank you for making it ❤️
You'll be amazed by what fossils are below you - I didn't think I had anything around me either, it never hurts to look ;). Best of luck when you do!
Me to! i live in europe
Funny- I searched for videos in America after seeing the cool fossils people were finding in Europe!
@@chloerene7858 did you know we dutchies found the first mosasaur fossils
and i have bin also in maastricht wonderfull nature and a nice museum
Where in Texas is this?
I need to go back to Texas
How can I contact you directly? I have quite a few finds and would like to identify them
Just curious, what do you do in school for paleontology?
biology or geology major is the route you take, narrowing into paleontology in grad school
@@jcookepaleo ohhh okay thanks!!
Bro about to be the biggest paleontologist on youtube 😤🔥🔥🔥
That would be pretty cool 😅
At 5;52 that is a shell crushing shark tooth.
Thanks for the vid man. It was great. You are super knowledgable and will have a bright future. From Australia..... Relatives of Steve Erwin gggrrrr... haha just joking.
Where was this?
What creek?
Where at in Texas?
Thank you for the amazing video it was so cool, when you found the giant tooth there was an arrow Head right next to it the times

The video is great! You should improve the audio tho. Somehow make your voice the same volume over all the parts.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content here :)

@@jcookepaleo How did they just start out like that? That’s definitely something I’d be interested in
Like your videos but you might think about saying..oh my goodness!
And possibly 6;18
FUCK YES JAREDDDDDD
I'm hyped to get this rolling!
I have a collection of thousands of teeth from Texas sharks long forgotten
Beep beep lettuce
Yo.
Indian head omg lol
