Barnacles being a problem even to paleontologists is funny to me.
I'm guessing your a sailor or something?
@@dehvun7 My hometown was like 15 minutes close to the beach, with many ports. Shore rocks had those and even in the sea market you could find some removed barnacles thrown in the trash, so fishermen/sellers also had them attached on their products.
@@estebanatachaoarguedas6321eso son lapas no percebes
@@estebanatachaoarguedas6321agreed, period. why even take them off it adds to it, they literally have them while alive..
Well, no snacks are needed for the fossil.
I found a megaladon tooth in the spring by my house about 20 years ago. About 20 feet down where the water came out. I found close to a hundred other shark tooth fossils from all different species in the same spot. I still have them all in a zip lock bag. Paleontology !
Thats realy cool ,dont cell it ,its worth a lot off money! And history to
How far away from an ocean was it?

People like him should be the ones walking on red carpets.
Craftsmen who are masters at their craft and great teachers as well
I couldn’t agree more. I keep asking myself, what do we as a society need to do to make this happen?! I would assume there are just as many people interested in science and history as there are people interested in celebrities, tv / movies, and music. If not the same amount - well definitely millions of people and more than enough to make an impact on something like this.
Agreed.
Don't think so, it's how the entertainment industry does it. Craftsmen should have their own thing.
@@TheSpaceMommathey are called TED talks.
Let's take that a step further and scrap the red carpet all together.
I HOPE EVERYBODY REALIZES THESE BARNACLES ARE NEW AND NOT FOSSILS...JS😉
Fossolization does not take anywhere near the amount of time, we have been taught.
@andrewchristensen6295 oo we got a parrot over here, do you want a cracker buddy
@@andrewchristensen6295 the amount of time for something to fossilize depends on conditions and minerals available around the bone.
@@andrewchristensen6295 it heavily, HEAVILY depends on the environment. In artifical settings like a lab, fossilization can take around 24 hours
OHHHHHH
You will rarely see more bullying and outlandish trolling than in a paleontology comment section. Grab your popcorn y'all. It's wild down here.

I had a fossilized whale vertebrae i found snorkeling here in florida. Unfortunately it sank with my sailboat in Ian
Oh dang...really sorry to hear that!
That's quite the story it came from the sea and went back to the Sea.😊.
That happened to a friend of mine. That is so odd

@sugarfreebepis I bet you it ain’t. It’s been verified and certified and insured
I have one of those shark tooths. My brother was laying pipes in a town and found it about 10 feet down. He managed to gather 30 of them. The town was close to the.ocean
Thats honestly so cool..
He should have reported them what uf there was a megalodon skeleton
That’s sick he’s able to go to town and lay pipe
@@jojo-gg1iz I was waiting for this 😂😂😂
@@jasonatencio3971ah right. Cartilage skeleton is a pit of knowledge, once you find one let all the community know about it!
Finally, good videos are showing up in my shorts
Larry Taylor from UC Berkeley is studying ancient whale migratory patterns by using barnacles. Perhaps you might get in touch with him!
I love how he also changed his tone when he was gonna be delicate and careful.
Just women things
As someone who snorkles often, because I live in FL about 5 houses away from the water, Ive dreamt about finding one of these.
Dream come true for anyone in the water.
Where do you live? I dive regularly for Meg teeth in Venice, and have found 100's.
It's harder finding them at snorkelling depth, but they're still out there.
If you decide to get scuba certified there are charter dive boats that take people to good spots.
Good luck!
😅😅😅😅😅
Cause ...they faked it...
They're not that rare
@@kj3n569 I go to beaches along the coast lin from Hudson down to Sanibel Island. I snorkel the sandbars and bring my kayak if there are gonna be close enough islands to get to and snorkel there and any sandbar in-between. Lol
Many times I am alone so I get nervous if I have to go too deep. But will if necessary if I can get to the area by kayak.
Thanks for responding.
I'd love to know if you know of any of the beaches or kayak-able areas between Hudson and Sanibel Island might have a spot I could have even a slightly better possibility of finding one and not buying one.
Thank u in advance for any information you can provide.
I have so many great memories going to this place. Love this museum a lot.
The work of a megalodentist. Megalodontia.
Underrated comment.
Came for the megalodon tooth. Stayed for the asmr barnacle popping. So satisfying 😌
So exciting to contemplate the idea of finding let alone being in a place where you could actually find a megalodon tooth or a fossil like it!!!(supercool!!)
Imagine the odds if that was the actual tooth that did that damage
I really respect the care and patience used here.
I don't have the patience to knit. Fossil prep is a task I appreciate and the people who do it are super heroes.
Megalodon could swallow a smol car.. alot of you prob know, but it's still crazy.
I love stuff like this, I mean actually handling something that was alive MILLIONS of years ago is the closest we are ever going to get to an actual connection to the past of this little blue marble we call home.
He keeps saying “bone”, but fossils are not actually bones. They are mineral casts formed over millions of years where the bone once was.
Really came to this random comment to throw out your random comment... i love it lol @@wl4446
Keep believing that crap.
@@Yeshuawillreturn
Yes, you will.
It is amazing that people can put a date of millions of years on something when the reality of the dating science they use is not reliable, especially for the so called millions of years. For those who believe, maybe you could open your mind to the possibility that the long dates are wrong and look at some information regarding a young earth perspective. Isn’t that what real scientists are supposed to do. Evolution and the old earth ideas are being challenged quite well by trained scientists. I think the problem with people is that they cant humble themselves and consider that God actually made all these wonderful things including us.
The way u were dabbing that i thought you were gonna clone a barnacle😂
I have a whale vertebra, not sure how old or to what whale it belongs to, but almost about the size of my head!
A megladon didnt do that those are my teeth marks
Man I misread megaladon and thought mastodon and was WILDLY confused
Something about barnacle clinging to the remains of a whale that’s been dead for so long, just like they may have clung to it in life is… upsetting.
The barnacles are never done with you.
You think you'd keep the barnicles to show that they have not changed.
🤦♂️ do you think barnacles have to be the same age as the thing they grow on…? That’s not how it works
That's why they don't want to keep them....
Do you have barnacles attached to your bones inside your body?
@@noahh715 No
I don’t live in the ocean…
I was blaming the barnacles on my cousins.....
Creationists are impossible to reason with.
Actual, proven evidence, seems to mean nothing to most overly religious folk.
Ears and eyes glued the fk shut haha. 🙂
Scientists: Here are some fossils and every single test that we have done says that they are 100s of millions of years old
Creationists: Nuh Uh! My fairytale book says that they can only be 6,000 years old
Other way around, magic-random-spontaneous-existence-fanatics are the ones with stubbornly cherished blind belief in a well promoted but demonstrably false psrsdigm just because it gives them a mob-approved way to rationalize disregarding Biblical morality and factuality, which, by the way, is 100% scientifically sound.
@@muddymite4936 Scientists lie like crazy. For instance, Google how big Deep Blue (the shark) was when she was first filmed for shark week in 2013. Then, since great whites never stop growing, Google their average yearly growth. Then Google how big (they say) she is now.
@@muddymite4936Google literally deleted my comment to you, and alI i did was try to get you to look up a few things. That says it all.
I understand keeping it intact, but there’s something cool about seeing it in the shape it was found sometimes.
Using the wood to agitate the barnacle residue reminds me of using peg wood to clean watch parts before sending them through the final cleaning process. Transferable skills frfr
Comments are full of a bunch of god fearing redditors apparently.
Simple minded brainwashed hipster thinks he’s onto something
I wonder if this process is done on other fossils, like Mammoth fossil or prehistoric fossils with this level of cleaning?
Mammoth bones are much, much younger. They have not fossilized yet, so when we find Mammoth bones (or chronologically similar) they are VERY delicate. Almost like chalk.
Yeah they are
So cool
That's amazing! It's so cool that even millions of years later, these animals can still have a big part of people's lives 😊
He keeps saying “bone”, but fossils are not actually bones. They are mineral casts formed over about 10,000 years where the bone once was.
Then how did he just pop barnicles off? 😂😂
You know what he meant
@@SBS_Auto What?.. did you ever stop to think it was a fosil under water for them to grow on?. Your question makes no sense in any area of his comment.

Very cool fossil. You guys are doing wonderful work.
What is the name of the music playing?
Original sound 😂
It’s a cello piece by Aquarius called “Spearfisher.” Took three goes, and the only piece with no dialogue over it for Shazam to identify it, then I hit up Spotify to confirm. It’s about 3/4 the way through the track the piece used here. Its 8:32 long. Hope that helps.
@@gaijininja Thank you :)
I have a Megalodon tooth I'd like yall to check out, to see how old it is and if this red stuff could be blood! Yes I have the tooth!! Really kool!
I once found a tooth walking a lot a river bank. I live in iowa..
Probably not blood
@toxic.forest it's more pinkish then red.. About 6 inches long.
@@Spankylanky86 i hate to say this but i dont have the mindset to not laugh at that im so sorry
@houstonmuseum. What tool do you use (the one you used to chip off the barnical)?
Thank you in advance
First try is a wooden pick. If needed, a flat metal chisel is used...carefully.
I got one of those megladone toothes from some Florida flea market as a kid in the 90s and i still have it. Pretty cool.
For context: a megalodon 🦈 bit a mastodon. Basically two “Dons” in a grudge match.
And then he got up and punched King Kong in the face after chewing Godzilla's face off. Great job guys you solved a mystery.
Exactly.
What do you mean I do t understand stupidness launguage
What is that even supposed to be in reference to..... Are you saying the fossil isn't real or the tooth isn't real?
@@JasonP6339 I know right it was confusing to me
Preposterous. Everyone knows godzilla was the apex predator. There's no way a megalodon had the balls to punch him in the face.
Amazing to me people wont believe things with proof but believe a book they were taught about as a child indefinitely.
I operate equipment at a landfill. We dig out of an old pond and we find it all the time.
I cant imagine the ammount of info you got from that dingle bone it mustve been an incredible find of an ancient battle
That’s got to be so cool to be the first to be touching some that lived 5-6 millions years ago. I know we got earth but to have and touch something that lived and had feelings it’s so cool bs we know what living is. Imagine how things were back then b4 us
Do yall remove barnacles that are fossilized? Im assuming these are new
The barnacles are modern. The fossilized bones and teeth are buried for eons until they are uncovered again through erosion and geological forces. Once they're uncovered, it's a race against time...and barnacles.
@@houstonmuseum its a good thing you explained this. I was about to get reallg rowdy jk
Not millions. At best thousands.
@@arjr721lol
Idiot
What’s the name of the background music?
Wouldn't it be nuts if that was actually the very tooth that caused that damage?
But the secrets are in the Barnacle 🤔
Yeah they ain't looking that old. Not 5-6 million years old.
Oh yes it's easier for you to attack me & not the poster of this comment. Typical male azzholz!
@@theroaminggnomadhow do you estimate age by sight for barnacles?
@@lindboknifeandtool how do you measure your brain cell capacity against other idiots like yourself??
How the FUCK could you tell the age of a barnacle by SIGHT? @@theroaminggnomad
@@lindboknifeandtool like I can tell the diksize or gherkin in your case in your pants. That's how. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pretty neat! I love stuff about megalodons.
Thats pretty awesome!!
That barnacle was like hey! I was somebody too!
Are the barnacles alive or can they be regrown? So the barnacle has not evolved at all is what it shows?
He keeps saying “bone”, but fossils are not actually bones. They are mineral casts formed over millions of years where the bone once was.
The barnacle isn’t the same age as the fossil 🤦♂️ It could have gotten there at any point in time
@@wl4446give it up, you already commented this elsewhere...
Im actuslly curious. Is that barnacle still alive? Or its it dried out and dead? If the latter, why remove it? Is part of the fossils history.
Good point, actually!
Do you have barnacles attached to your bones inside your body? They take them off because it’s not an original part of the whale.
@@noahh715wow nature really offends you huh? Gotta fix that.
@@noahh715thanks for bringing some basic sense to this comment section lol. Dude thought whales had barnacles on their bones lol
@@noahh715 what do you mean and these are living because it was underwater so they most likely doggies and layer on top of the fossil
Barnacles are like, "You know were were there too."
This is cool as hell! Imagine a whole mouth full of those teeth omg!
We can say with certainty that 6 million years ago a shark bite did this. lol
Uhh yeah we can your just stupid to understand
Roughly yes.
Throwing those millions like nothing..
The barnicales were alive it was under water
how old was the springy-fleshed barnacle stuff mate?
Subbed💯✌🏾
No damage to the bone after 5 MILLION years??
It's not millions off years old that's why lol bone doesn't last that long neither can rocks 😂. Yet we're all told to belive they do. They use millions of years for there evolution theory. It gives them the freedom of God. So they dimt have to repent like the rest of us
@@KilluminatiENGdude your just very fucking stupid preminrealization is when bone gets covered by sand tar or mud minerals get into the bone preserving it for millions of years
@@KilluminatiENG go study you need it
@@KilluminatiENGdinosaurs were millions of years buddy there is professional ways of dating shit like this, things get fossilised and can remain the same for billions of years
Read the book of John
Very careful to remove the glue trying not to injure the bone after popping off the barnicle
What
what is it then
No I got confused like what is he saying that it’s
Glued cus if he is the. It’s not glued
Glue? Are you dense or do you not know how barnacles work?
Barnacles haven't changed in how many years?!? 5 or 6 million years, and they still look like they do today!
Never know, might be only 4.5 million years old. You'd be surprised what 100,000 years will do to things 😂
Those were live barnacles not fossilized.
This wasn't a buried fossil, they found it in the water, so the barnacles were very new compared to the tooth. Like a couple years old. If they were fossilised at the same time as the tooth, they'd be rocks as well and not removable lol.
“And I know this absolutely happened, because I was there”
Is anyone else telling themselves "there is no way he knows that it was a shark tooth", but he definitely created the narrative. FYI, those barnicles are recently attached to the bone.
Uhm...it's a shark tooth because it belongs to a shark, and he literally calls them barnacles in the video. Congrats on the stupidest fucking comment I'll see this year.
Proof?
this is not a bone, this is a stone. that has a shape of a bone. :)
Well fossil were bones that got their minerals replaced and thus became a stone. Also technically bones are already stones as they are made of hydroxyapatite.
I mean yea that’s what fossils are
Are you trolling? Its from a big animal and its a chunk of bone so it looks like a rock, have a good day
