Unbelievable Treasure Hidden in these Rocks! Fossil Hunting in Alpena, Michigan for Ancient Sea Life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2021
- It's not everyday I get to find fossils that are over 360 Million Years Old! Down where I live in Florida, about the oldest we get is 50 Million. Which is still insanely old, but geologically speaking it's very young! I've never searched for these types of fossils before, and it was absolutely a pleasure to get out for something new! We found tons of Crinoid pieces, Brachiopods, Corals, and all sorts of stuff from the Devonian Period which was a period of time from around 358 - 419 Million Years Ago! I'll have links here in the description providing more information about the fossil remains we found in this video!

That was a fun day. It's so much fun see seeing someone else see this stuff for the first time. I love sharing my state with others.
Rob, absolutely loved your shirt!!!
@@angef9687 Thanks. My sister got that for me.
ROB, I see what you were saying about it being an ocean there. You have marine fossils instead of wood!
Minute 23:30, Wow! Amazing how the earth is changing. Wonder what the map will look later if we make it that far.
@@nubybautista9814 It's hard to imagine continents moving that far, but it's a very slow process.
Hey y'all! What a treat to find these incredibly unique and old fossils! Be sure to subscribe to Rob's channel if you haven't! Huge thanks to him for taking us to these great spots. 🤟 ua-cam.com/users/MichiganRocks
Rob an awesome guy!
Loved seeing/hearing your excitement with each find! Glad you got to get out fossil hunting with Rob and had a great time
You missed nice 2" crinoid section at 2:36 straight over to the right of the two pieces you picked up.....
Just saw the same thing , my heart sank when he skipped over it !!! Was such a nice sized piece 😍😍😍
Take a sip of beer every time Wildkyle says “crinoid stem” lol. What a fun day you had, makes me want to visit Michigan
Done .
Bro I'm loving your Michigan vids! Thanks for taking us along w ya!! Rock on!
So jealous!!! Have fun and continue to share!! We love it!💜
Wonderful finds and so many of them! The big on looked like a fan mushroom that grows and dying trees. It has rings like a tree. Please don't move the camera so fast my eyes are old and I can't focus fast enough. It was very exciting..
At 17:07, because of context with the other reef building organisms, I believe it is a stromatoporoid. The stromatoporoid is an extinct reef building sponge that lived from the Ordovician-Devonian. Stromatoporoid is not the same thing as a stromatolite as some have suggested. Enjoyed the video.
Nice one, looked it up and you are definitely correct.
I just subscribed to Michigan Rocks! I loved this video! I want his shirt!
Wow that area has so many cool fossils!
That was fun, Kyle! Thanks for sharing another adventure!
Thank you for the walk along.
So cool! Devonian fossils are my favorites!
You got some monster finds. I've been to Rock Port Quarry, but didn't walk back as far as you did. Awesome finds.
Awesome video! I’m so jealous that you two are out there finding such epic fossils.
Amazing stuff! Its hard to wrap my head around how old those fossils are.
What extraordinary finds…all the shapes in the rocks..it’s so neat to hear about the history in the rocks so long ago
Very fun video. Thank you for sharing.
Love the video and your enthusiasm for fossils. I've gotta get started looking for some. Very nice video and thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Awesome!
So many awesome fossils, Kyle! It's good to get a look at some different fossils than those we are used to!💖
Two of my favorite channels in one video?! You both are so genuine and nice, and you’ve taught me so much. Much appreciation ❤️
Thank you so much! We really appreciate that ☺️
I found this channel because I follow Rob's channel. It was fun to see the both if you sharing videos.
Looked like a lot of fun with a lot of cool finds. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video
I love Indian beads and those shells, I use to collect those as a child. I miss being able to rock hunt.
At 13:05 there tons of brachiopods, and chrinoid stems , very cool! Great work Kyle!!
Thanks for the videos!
Loved the cladipora rock you threw back at 17:50!
Hi Kyle. Rob sent me to your channel. Welcome to Michigan! I’m enjoying your videos.
Fantastic video,really enjoyed it
Love it! Got a bunch of fossils myself with my daughter at Rockport. Had great fun!!!
Now this stuff is more in line with the fossils I grew up hunting in Arizona.
Awesome adventure!!
You're so smart professor Kyle the palaeontologist, you know your stuff!
That’s crazy to think that the land you were standing on actually moved over 3,000 miles !!! WOW 😮
I love Robs rock hunting videos. I've been on seeeveral hunts with him.
So glad you had a good time in our beautiful state. I've found what I believe are dinosaur fossils on the shores of lake Michigan
Awesome finds
I love Robs channel but seeing these places through your eyes was cool. It spun a new excitement out of it. Each of you bring a wide angle of information together, it's great would love to see more. Get his butt down to Fla✌
That huge conglomerate rock was amazing!
Cool stuff, I have found many Devonian age fossils here in Mississippi which include crinoids, brachiopods and bryozoans. My best find is a complete rugose coral. Some of my favorites to find are honeycomb corals(favosites)
You're my new favorite channel 💕 I'm loving fossil hunting with you!
love your videos kyle!
Very cool!
Great show Kyle!!..if your ever back up in Michigan come on over to the west side of the state. I can show you some great places to find agates, unakite, Petoskey..oh..and "stripy"..rocks..
That blastoid was super cool 💎👀💪
I love Robs shirt!
That's really cool ! I've never been able to find devonian fossil yet ! It's funny how the crinoid stem you've found are round, whether the ones I find in the lower/middle Jurassic back home in France are mostly star-shaped ! Between the corals, crinoids, bryozoan and of course the brachiopods, it was great to watch !
Dude ive never been so late for a kyle upload!😭 this week was madness! This was so awesome!!! That looked like a serious fossil treasure trove! Love me some brachiopods😁 they can look so dang cool, and the coral! Awesome video dude! And big shout out to rob for taking you to the treasure!😄 forgot to mention the insane gigantic deathplates!!!😱 dude those are amazing!😄
Better late than never my friend!!! I appreciate you hahahaha. I really love the brachiopods too, I'm obsessed with them hahaha. This was such a blast man!
So glad I found your Channel! I'm in Wisconsin, but only a few hours from Michigan - Think I'll be headed that way before weather changes! Thanks for the Videos!
I love d watching this .the knowledge you have is amazing thank you for making these videos !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I could watch this all day!
The Fossils are awesome! You found some awesome ones with Rob. The death plates are my favorite! I probably would have to rent a trailer to pull behind my pickup to take home rocks. 😁
Wow! Epic day….what could be more fun than finding fossils with M.R. Get him down to Florida😀 great finds
Rock and fossil hounding is sugar addictive,it is sweet,had some agatized coral and agates,you got it made.Awesome video.❤👍
The younger fossils you guys find in Florida blow me away. My area ranges from Pennsylvanian to Ordovician.
Wow, great video. Took me back to my youth looking for crinoid stems and disks. I have found a few of those star shaped disks as well. Fantastic video. Thanks for doing them!!
The long-hinged brachs you found look to be Mucrospirifer mucronatus. Very cool! They're widespread in the Devonian, I've found them in Pennsylvania as well.
Yup, I have found them in upstate NY as well.
That was awesome
Yesssss just what I needed!
Awesome finds dude! Some of the Indian tribes were known to use crinoids as beads. My pops told me he found a few crinoids in the fields around where he grew up in Cochran, Georgia. I found lots of artifacts in those same fields but sadly no crinoids...
Wow the mortality plates are way better there then at Penn dixie
I love crinoids , I find them all the time in the creeks near my place , I make them into jewelry like necklaces and bracelets and stuff .
I was screaming at the screen once you got to Burkholder because there was so much stuff everywhere! I know you can't (and shouldn't) take all you can, but I was just freaking out at the sheer amount of specimens littering the entire area. I think the calyx in matrix and blastoid were my favorites.
19:19 top right corner! Looks really interesting!
🧘Yes young Grasshopper! 🦗 Knowledge from the Book of Rob.. is just as interesting as the rocks!
Shine on Shine off! 😃😁
Awesome place guy's.. certainly a fun day👍
I NEED a shirt like Rob's lol. I currently only have a shirt with the caption: "Of Quartz I love Geology!"
That was so cool. I am a rock and fossil nut myself.
Love all the knowledge you share in your videos!
Kyle..you just showed death plates! I have a huge piece that i picked up in the 1990's and never knew what it was! Im from the coast but was living in KY at the time, 4 wheelin on top of a "knob". Stopped on top and was looking around at rocks and saw this big plate. The reason i picked it up is because it has a small welk on top and i recognized it. Telling my friends...this stuff in this rock comes from the ocean. They just laughed. I brought it home and its been with me ever since. Thanks for sharing, now i know what i have.
I want to go to there. I find the same types of fossils in my area, but not usually as nice as those, and rarely not in matrix. Congrats!!!
I once found a brachiopod filled with quartz up there. Very cool place to rock hunt. Glad you’re enjoying our beautiful state!!!! Subscribed thanks to @michiganrocks btw
Love finding crinoid stems and brachiopods here in central Oklahoma!
Yup- got some of those, too, from Lake Murray State Park, south of Ardmore.
@@trachodon I have found some down dirt roads before! Love lake Murray
You had me dizzy! Lots of cool fossils!
I love the videos and how nice you are to your fans keep up the great work👍👍(:(: (:
For the first location the brachiopods look like Atrypa reticularis and some Spiriferids, the second is Mucrospirifer mucronatus as you pointed out as well as some strophomenids, the funky coral looks like Aulopora sp. Most of the quarry brachiopods were rhynchonellids but I think I also saw a chonetid.
Could the banded structures you saw be stromatolites?
This is the kind of stuff I find between my home in Columbus OH all the way down to Louisville KY!
Your nice Blastoid is Nucleocrinus elegans. I find them here in NY.
Im impressed man... didn't know how much you knew about rocks. I really liked the 60 million year old frog... never knew they got that old... :p
I like what I see. New sub 👍
Ill be watching. Thank you.
I found coral attachments on a large brachiopod I found near Louisville (KY) recently!
Gorgeous mucrospirifer brachiopod at 13:17!
Great video
Man this place if full of treasures
Great video makes me wanna go fossil hunting
I’m so happy that you got to check out our Lake Michigan fossils! I live in Milwaukee Wisconsin and we have similar fossils. My favorites are brachiopods, crinoids and coral fossils. I sure wish we had Petoskey ones in Milwaukee. In my neck of the woods we were a part of the cerulean sea. BTW, you scored big, awesome haul 💕
This is on or near the west shore of Lake Huron, rather than Lake Michigan. As I sit here anticipating hip joint replacement surgery a week from today, I really enjoyed seeing these very familiar places. Great finds, and I look forward to getting back in the saddle in a few months!
@@trachodon oh ok thank you! Looks like an awesome place! I wish you the best with your hip replacement and hope that you mend quickly so that you can rock hunt soon! 🙂
@@heidikoester You are so kind- thank you, Heidi!
@@trachodon 🙂
Nice blastoid! I've only found a handful in Iowa in Devonian formations.
If you ever happen to end up in Las Vegas, take a close look at the bare, rocky hills surrounding the city-- not the tall ones, but the low, rolling, rough stone hills. They're ancient coral beds, and I lived in LV for three years; during that time I went hunting the exact same things you're hunting in this video, but in desert hills full of barrel cacti and scorpions. Found them, too-- lots! So there's a new place for you to hunt if you ever get the chance. Thanks for this video-- you had a much prettier place to hunt in, but you brought back a lot of good memories (except for the time I sat on a barrel cactus; that wasn't so good.)
Another awesome video. You know you need to take gifts back to Derick and @paleocris 🙂
These are very similar fossils to the ones we find at the Wren's Nest, Dudley, West Midlands, UK. If you ever come to the UK, we will take you fossil hunting there. Famous for the Dudley Bug, a trilobite which is found there.
Wrens nest is a good site, I’ve only been once and got a few partial trilobites and a lot of sponges.
Will.have to go through my rocks I've found . definitely found some cool ones .post some pictures for you .
I wish I had known you were up here!!! I found some great crinoid calyx at partridge point as well as blastoids and rockport has an area with some trilobites! Found 3 partials in one day!
If you like older fossils, I recommend going to Skiatook lake in Oklahoma, similar age in fossils and same density of fossils as this spot. Nice video!
Hey Kyle, I have seen a coffee table made out of one of those 'death plates', it was cut and polished
flat. Definitely one of the most exotic and beautiful tables ever (but it weighs a lot). Great video!
I would assume those broad, layered fossils that look like plates are stromatolites.
I'm actually surprised you didn't run into any Orthoceras or Goniatite fossils, given the age of those rocks.
Fun lil factoid- Rugose/Horn corals are what we call 'solitary" corals; they're not reef builders, but may live in colonies.
Great video. The more I watch, the more I want to go to Michigan. But 1st I have to go to Florida. I wonder if I can find some roads in the Boca Raton area to find fossil shells and shark teeth.?. Anyway, can’t wait to see your next video. ✌🏻❤️🙂🙏
I... cannot put into words how jealous I am. Wow. Absolutely amazing. 😠😂
It’s nice shopping for fossils at the fossil store with you, I learned some about the ones I have too! And you have ones I haven’t seen before, I’ll have to see if I have them too.
The stuff you are referring to at 17:14 looks a lot like petrified wood? Great video! (lots of fossils here in Cape Breton) Cheers
I love how you are like a kid in a candy store. You didn’t know where to look first😁
Love your videos. Currently live in Florida about to relocate to Tennessee. What can I look for out there? If you know. Lol
Hey bubby i find them here in ky i polished some of then and they are so beautiful in total christal and horn corals to
