The notion of looking for concretions was a superb insight, but I would hope the search for mammalian fossils would also include the period prior to 66 million years ago. After the dinosaurs went extinct, mammals were free to diversity and flourish, but they obviously co-existed with the dinosaurs for millions of years, during which the mammalian morphology and adaptations were surely refined.
I remember my first paleo class in the 60s. They were checking ant hills. The ants would carry fossil teeth to the surface along with the sand. About all they knew about mammals back then was microscopic teeth in a minuscule jaw.
Does anyone have any sources for documentaries narrated by Salvatore vecchio? It’s weird that National Geographic would recycle old documentaries and change the titles of them along with the narrators. No one is iconic like him
I ran across your video and would like to interact. At 3:35 you speak of concreations forming around the structural bone however the stuff stuck to the bone is literally flesh in many cases as I have here. The process is (as you say) mineral deposition however not other matter but the body itself transitions.... the process uses transition metal complexes in wet areas (long ago) called nucleophilic substitution. The flesh and organs transition easily however bone is almost never identifiable because it transitions into almost exactly the same matter as the rest of the concretion.... So bone is rarely seen but still inside the "Concretion". We have lots of specimens and some are DNA certified. Are you interested? We have some very strange things. Thank you ..... Roger
I have a fossil head that's almost black colored in my truck of something with teeth and a pointy nose and it's head is very triangle shaped with very prominent eyebrow eye sockets that is insanely heavy and you can see the skin layers where the flesh decomposed downwards from gravity. It has very thin pointy teeth but looks like it was almost a horse head but almost a giant bird head or a weird looking dog. I also have a completely crystallized guinea pig....it's entire body turned to quartz crystal where you can see it's 4 little legs and an almost shell like protective hooded body. Then I have an alligator fossil head that is covered in silvery scales. A giant cow like head that has a rough porous stubbed horn type thing protruding from it's head. A jackrabbit with obvious fangs and a nervous system still intact trailing down the top of it's head Some type of giant turtle looking head that has turned into quartz crystal The nose and upper jaw and cheek area of something that looked like a giant cat with a big ass snout and very wide cheeks where the bottom of it has turned into a clear quartz crystal cluster but the nostrils and nose and face shape is still perfectly preserved. A bunch of quartz crystal that is seemingly half bone and half quartz crystal as in it's calcified and is slowly turning into quartz. A rock that still has the diamond pattern down it because it was obviously a part of a snake based on its shape and skin pattern. What looks to be something big like a long neck herbivore leg laying embedded into a large stone out in my woods that you can still see the lines of it's skin... Like it has the same leg shape as Little Foot in the land before time kids movie. Like it almost looks like it has 3 joints, the ankle, a knee and another joint up near where it's shoulder or hip socket must have been. But one of them looks backwards angled like the way Little Foot walked in that cartoon movie and the leg looks similar with big round feet and maybe 3? Big fluffy toes except the horizontal lines on its skin A couple of teeth fossils.... A shell fossil.... A bunch of small rodents and birds that have calcified or mineralized or whatever that are turning into quartz crystal but retaining their shape. A bunch of weird webbed feet pointy toed mineralized rocks of various sizes that are all through my woods and seem to have all been cut off cleanly at the ankle or wrist..... Some kind of dragon shaped head turned to crystal and calcium that had ground down molars still and catlike slit pupil type eyes that turned into crystal but you could still see them clearly It's all just laying around on the ground in Rockdale County, Georgia. We sit on top of a giant water reservoir and all these fossils have been found within 1000 ft of creeks
I have found both teeth and bones and large round or oblong thick scull like objects in N. Georgia central near Athens , along with symbols on rock like the ones found on accient Chinese artifacts and numbers like our number system and letters like our Alphabet !? No one believes me ! Why do people refuse to learn so easily ?
Wonderful work!

I have a mammaI found in southern colorado. I'm amazed! Your fossils look like what I have. Mine is the entire body but no head.
He found Uncle Fred!
I saw concretions on my walk down to Horseshoe Mesa in Grand Canyon National Park the other day.

4:08 Check out the railroad spike hammer.
Why is the narration 6-12dB lower than the other voices?
amazing!

is that Ross?!
Have a look at Drones and Truth channel fossil found by my friend
Is this just a rock or something else? Looks like a huge toe or thumb?
