Finding Fossils - Above the Fog

- The day could not have dawned in a more beautiful way, the splendid sunrise predicted an equally rewarding day of fossil hunting,
In this episode I tried to do something special showing the places where I usually hunt fossils and tell you a little bit about the stories that sometimes happen and are not recorded. The day was indeed special both for the environment and the scenery, which I wasn't expecting to be so good, as well as for the surprises...
Unfortunately, the audio wasn't very good. Apparently I had moisture inside the camera and the microphone sometimes didn't capture the sound correctly at all but even that didn't limit this great fossil hunting day. I hope you liked.
Nautiloids are even rarer than ammonites ! A lucky find ❤
It's truth!! I was really lucky! I have to go back there and see if I can find more... (I wish)😅👍
I love Nautiloids too. Great find.
Thank you very much!! For me, encountering a nautiloid is an extremely rare occurrence.😊 ⛏
I am JELLY for your find, I am lucky enough to be able to go to Scotia Bluffs here in Humboldt County. I found part of a petrified lobster in matrix. Like you say ,where there is one there is more yupp.

Great trip this time !! I really enjoyed seeing the echinoids you found-very beautiful ! That material you showed in the path at the first part of the video looked like shelfstone that has formed in a small cave.Glad to see the cephalopod you found.I know they must be very rare in those sediments.Can you tell me the Portuguese word that you used for the large limestone boulders,I would be interested in knowing what the English equivalent is.Thank you and keep the great videos coming (I can almost feel the fog in those wooded areas!!😄😄
Hello my friend. I'm very happy that you liked the video. That area really is special and I have found very interesting things there, although most of what I find are large Harpagod gastropods. The Portuguese word for rock formations is: Lápias, the translation I found in English is Limestone Pavement.... I don't know if it's correct. The fossils are spectacular but the landscape is even better and walking there early in the morning is a fantastic experience.👍😊🦕🦕⛏
Yeah! Another fossil hunting episode! 💯💯💯
Yeaaaa!! It is true, my friend!!
That is a karst landscape where thick layers of layers limestone that were uplifted closer to the surface have gradually dissolved away.
I’ve seen them before in my area here in Alabama where the limestone is much older.
Thank you for the information. Here in Portugal those rock formations are called: Lápias, the translation I found in English is Limestone Pavement .But I didn't know there was a name to characterize the landscape. Thank you very much for the information
Boas, Zé. Obrigado pelos videos! Gostei muito. Podes-me dizer só a zona do país onde encontras os fosseis? Também gostava de procurar, mas aqui na zona de Coimbra parece que há pocos sitios viáveis...
Olá. Na zona de Coimbra é mais provável de encontrares amonites. Há zonas, perto de pedreiras ( pede informações antes de andares por lá a escavar porque mesmo as desactivadas são perigosas) . Eu costumo pesquisar numa área bastante grande, mas maioritariamente na zona de Sintra e na zona de Sobral de Monte Agraço e por vezes até perto de Torres Vedras. Perto de Coimbra tens a zona de são Pedro de Moel que é bastante referida como sendo um sitio bem porreiro para encontrar fósseis. Tenho aqui algumas referencias ( embora nunca tenha ido para aí procurar fósseis) na zona de Taveiro, Casais de Vera Cruz, Liceia, ao pé do campo de futebol de Real Club de Brasfemes e em Montemor-o Velho.
