- Hey guys!
This is part 2 of a fossil hunting trip in southern Ohio. In this video, I explain a few of the common fossils finds for the area and show examples of what they are. I also work along a rock wall pulling plates and individual pieces out, then show what some look like after an initial cleaning.
So come along and let's have some fun finding some neat fossils!

Wow! Beautiful plates!
I think that one is a couple cephalopod segments. The round shape makes me think cephalopod but I’m not sure. This is an excellent fossil spot! Love the bryozoan overgrowth I just found several like that in Missouri. Calcite is cool to 👍🏻
I've found around 15 thousand horn corals and crinoid stems, and over 5 hundred Blastoids,at one site
@@PeteRowe-ie2ez that’s amazing!!
Funny. Found your channel in Oklahoma, where I recently moved to from Central Ohio
I was born and raised in Ohio, and met my wife at an art college in Columbus!
So cool!! I am in midwestern Ohio and have recently found some small shell fossils in my creek. Now I’m addicted!!! Any tips on good places to go?
Fossils for your backyard bro. Nice pieces...and with many history these fossils.
Thank you!
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much, my friend!
One item is Ambonychia pelecypod mold and the other looks like bryozoan shaped like or on a cephalopod
Oh, that really helps, thanks for that ID!!
hey joe could you tell me where this creek is in southwest ohio i live here also but don't know where the creeks are !
This was on private land. There are, however all sorts of road cuts all around the Cincinnati area, there's the Caesar Creek Spillway (the location this video was filmed was about 20 minutes from there), so it's all the same type of material. So many great things in all of the local creeks and road cuts in that whole area. I would try to find some public access point, and have some fun! I'm back in Arkansas now or I would offer to meet you at some spots.
Are these fossils agatized? Or what replacement material?
Most of the fossils from that region are calcite or aragonite.
Yes, some dogtooth calcite crystals. I am tempted to break or even cut open a few intact brachiopods as an experiment to see if they have any crystallization inside of them.
Where is this creek exactly, like what town and what is this creek called if it has a name
Not sure the creek has a name, but the section that I was on was private property. There are several road cuts and local creeks in that whole area that has all of the same material. Check out Caesar Creek Spillway or any public access to a local creek. Road cuts off of 71, or any of those highways around the Cincy area. A few things that are lacking in that general spot I was searching are trilobites and crinoids. They seem to be more rare. I have only found one teeny tiny trilobite there out of years of searching in that same spot. If you go about 45 minutes south to the Cincinnati area you are more likely to find some trilobites, and if you go a little further west, too. Same with crinoids.
@@joedadbod8450 ok, thanks
Nice plates. I love fossils. All of them. Anything to do with them. The hunt and breaking them out of the host rock. I would love to go on a road trip sometime to get some with you. Thanks for the video Joe. Joe dadbod and my buddy Tony on a world adventure to together lol hase a ring to it.
