"J" shaped ones are called Idiohamites, you found a very large. Most of the ones I have found are usually less than 6" long pieces. Look them up. They start out coiled just like the regular ammonites then straighten out. The "J" end is the living chamber. Great find! I suggest you chisel away from the fossil instead of toward it. Less likely to damage the fossil that way.
I'm not educated in this field at all but the video peaked my interest. The j looking fossil reminds me of type of tube worm but I'm assuming something like that wouldn't fossilize. Could you maybe explain what it might have been like in living form? Thanks.
@@rchurch2769 The "J" shaped fossil is a form of ammonite, a complete one would have started out coiled as most ammonites but then the shell straightened and finally curved back in the "J" shape. This was a shell that housed a creature called a cephalopod which would have resembled a nautilus or squid having tentacles which it used to capture it's prey.
Thank you! 👍👍👍😀
Ammonites lived in a "benthic habitat". That is to say they swam free in the water column. The swimming action happens when the Ammonite expels powerful jets of water from a part of the animal called the siphuncle. So all of the ammonites you find preserved were dead at the time of their burial.
Dude, what you’re calling small ones are huge to me. Never seen these this large. Love to be able to find stuff like this.
In other places around the world, they can be the species Parapuzosia seppenradensis; the fossil, which was found in Germany in 1895, has a gargantuan shell measuring 5.7 feet (1.7 m) across.
they say everything is bigger in Texas
Congratulations! These are awesome
@@robertgrove2131 beat me to it
Everything’s bigger in Texas lol
3 years ago while on a hunting trip, I found an area that was littered with a lot of rocks varying in sizes from a baseball to 400-500 lbs boulders, and all had the same strange pattern on them. I hadn't seen anything like them before and being so many in a small area, it grabbed my attention and so I collected a few and took them home. They sat on a shelf for over a year, I had given up trying to figure out what they were. My best guess was some kind of a coral, but had really no idea. I was watching some documentary and they showed pictures of stromatolites...I jumped out of my chair and grabbed what I had found...and being so very similar I thought I finally figured it out, which was a big big deal for me. I emailed the museum in Salt Lake City to verify i was right...turns out...nope. Apparently they were
"oncoidal limestone or oncolite" according to the museum. And you wanna talk about the biggest let down ever. It was so disappointing to learn I was wrong after being so dann excited.
But you did get to identify the rocks you found, so you should be happy.
@@comfortablynumb9342 That is true, but at the same time still a downer. Thats something that is a little more than a bucket list thing for me. I don't have any formal education in regards toward that, and trying to research the topic has been...difficult to say the least. Going back to square one my vocabulary had dropped more f bombs than WW2
I wouldn't believe what they say , they are wrong sometimes.
I love fossils!! I’m a 71 yrs old grandma who loves to show my grandchildren the joys of holding and feeling something millions of years old.
Thanks for your channel.
I am such a rock/fossil hound, I love walking the woods and creeks and finding treasures, but I have never found an Amorite, you are so blessed to be able to find so many…you go man…love it!!
Red river, under the US route 75 bridge north of Denison, TX, used to find lots of good fossils there back in the 80's. Amonites from 6 to 18 inches, and one time a scallop shell the size of my hand in excellent condition. The amonites were used in landscaping, the scallop was lost in a divorce.
Thanks much for taking us along. That unique straight fossil almost resembles the fiddlehead of a giant prehistoric fern. You’ve opened the door to a new and challenging hobby for my wife and I. Looking forward to rocking Texas and beyond. Thanks again!
I used to walk along the river beds and sides of creeks. Would find ammonites and fossilized smails. Further west you could find coral around Brownwood tx just on the backroads in the bar ditches. Loved watching your video.
57 watching your videos I used to love going fossil and rock hounding. But hard on me. So thank you for making your videos ! Sorry for what you're going through. I'm prayers for a full emotional recovery.
Wow, that was an amazing hunt for ammonites. It’s crazy how hot it’s been this season in Texas, the water is really low. I hope you do get an exhibit in Dallas, that would be awesome 👏.
In west Texas, around Big Lake, ammonites can be found lying on the ground in the thousands.
Wow! What an incredible find!! So lucky!! You either found a Bickmorites or a Oxybeloceras. Awesome!!
Thanks for taking us on your adventures! It's exciting to watch.
What a beautiful area to go fossil hunting! These are huge specimens, I hope the museum you mentioned will display your finds! Best wishes🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Absolutely amazing! Even more amazing is these fossils can be found so close to the surface as purportedly they died out 66 million years ago. I would have thought these critters fossilised remains would be 10s of metres deep after so many millennia!!?? 🤔🐚🦖
Why is that?
They're not very deep bcuz here in Texas there's hardly any topsoil.
Especially in creek beds.
Depending on where you are in Texas, you would be ecstatic to even find a ½ inch of good topsoil in any stretch of land over here!
If you drilled down 10's of meters, you would find the same thing you're seeing on the video.
Limestone rock.
It's a giant rock shelf that more than half of Texas sits on,
and it's called the Edward's Plateau.
In North Texas there's a bit more soil, if you wanna call it that...
It's a special kind of dry black dirt mixed with white clay stuff that binds it all together.
We call it calichè.
The white calichè part has the perfect composition to make portland cement!
Needless to say, it's awfully hard to grow food in it!
The East side of Texas does have a lot of good soil!
Lots of rain over there too!
I almost forgot about that... !
Texas has so many different kinds of regions, and climates!
It's very cool that way, but definitely not known for having good soil.
In England, y'all are used to being able to dig down into the soil, even if it is a heavy clay soil, it's still soil!!
I would trade ALL the rock my property sits on for some of your soil!!
I can ammend clay soil.
But rock... ...smh...
It's pretty difficult to grow any plants on top of rock!
The limestone boulders we have are pretty cool tho!
I love fossils!!!! Ammonite creek is amazing and i love your videos from there! You did find some museum quality pieces! That straight one is super cool. Awesome finds!
Ammonites are amazing, especially if they still have some ammolite! Thanks for taking us along!
I found numerous nautilus fossils in a dried river bed South of San Antonio, Tx, they were about twice the size of those in the video.
Wow! That place is an amazing time capsule of the world of another time, so different from the one we know now. You're lucky to be able to explore it and find such remarkable treasures. Awesome video!
Wow! Wow!
Thanks for bearing this horrible Texas heat to find a fossil record!
Too cool for words!
Thank you so much for showing us these magnificent fossils!
Awesome. Always like to see new fossils. Not so much, the drought, but, it sure is revealing some beautiful stuff.
I cannot believe how much awesome stuff you find! Your channel is extremely addicting
Outstanding finds. I lived in Beaumont for a year after the Corps. Thank you for sharing.
Do you ever find fossilized opalized ammonite, with the colors? They are so magical..thank you for sharing!
Those tend to occur in shale formations (such as the famous bearpaw formation in Alberta, Canada), while the rocks he’s searching in appear to be limestone. Furthermore, opalized ammonites tend to occur only in select few places (Alberta being the most famous for jewel-grade ammolite, and Madagascar, which is where the eBay ammonites come from.
are these geodes inside?
please cut them open and show us whatever is inside in a follow up video
I couldn't think of anything cooler than to have a real fossil in the shape you are finding them in! This is a cool channel! God bless
Love watching your channel’s progress and finds. Congrats on hitting >500!
I found some of those in Texas on a canoe trip as a young boy but they were only 4-6 inches in diameter. They were prized possessions for years but I have no idea what happened to them. It was about 45 years ago.
There's a truck load of fossils in that creek. You are truly blessed to have such abundance when you go out and put the work in
My favorite thing to do.Searching for Rocks, fossils and American relics. Awesome place you are at.
Those are AWSOME i live in Northern Ontario Canada an when i find the time im gone to look around my city an communitys to see what i can find, i know there is something waiting for me out here there are so many unexplored places in this beautiful country .keep on digging
Thanks for sharing your aminite spot with all of us. I would love to add this piece to my Rock/fossil collection.. I haven't found anything like you have found in my part of Montana
It's amazing they are just laying there mostly exposed!
I can't imagine owning property with that creek running through it (unless it's public?), and not explore it often, although I'm sure there are people who don't care or have time to do so. Very cool video, thanks for "taking" us along!
Wow! What a great place to find so many fossils. Thanks for taking us along. 🙂
Wow wow wow so big that looks like a whole lot of fun.
Here in Australia we have an earlier version. They are called belemnites. Kinda like a squid. Heaps of those guys have ended up in Coober pedy and have turned to opal. I have heaps. Swap you a belemnite for an ammonite?
I can't believe the size of those. Here in the uk they're so much smaller. Would love this!.
Jason the drought has exposed so much for you to find. I think I have been following you since your first video to this creek and these are some of your best finds.
Boy, wish I lived somewhere I could find such great pieces.
Based on the fossil record, ammonites came in a wide range of sizes and shapes, from smaller than an inch to as large as nine feet wide. Some ammonites had long, straight shells, while others had helix-shaped shells
Wowzer! New subscriber here! I’m amazed at the sizes and the abundance of fossils. I so wish I could visit this area. It’s absolutely amazing 🤯. You do a fabulous job!
Thanks so much for sharing.
Stay Crystal 💫

Love to see you finding so many of these. When my son was about 10 we went to the river that’s south of Dallas that has dinosaur tracks. It was amazing to stand in them. The problem was they were on the opposite side of the river. It had rocks that were flat that led to the other side but were flaming hot. So just decided to get the sneakers wet.
The hotel in Glen Rose was new and it was land was dug from a hill side and exposed a long long lost creek bed. I found a rock there that I am sure a an impression but raised up of a small dinosaur foot print. We still have it 12 years later.
Love you videos. I would love to go hunt for these but I have no idea where to go.
Dinosaur State Park The Paluxy River
Or any nearby creek.
Love your videos man! I wish I lived in a place where I could find cool fossils like those
Go to BOCA lots of fossils there and many dentures on the beach
Wow! Amazing finds! I get so excited finding fossils- thanks for taking us along!
I hear ya brother. The Texas heat is getting to me to. Can't wait for winter. Stay hydrated my friend. 👊 BAM
At the 4:50 mark, just after you mention the ammonite recently washed up, I noticed what appeared to be a well detailed ammonite as you pan your camera to your left. Hope you checked that one out!
I live in East Texas. We have a trip to Crater of Diamonds, AR area planned for next week. So I have been researching and came across your videos. Wondering now what is close to me in Texas to find.
I'm going to the crater next week. I will also be taking a trip from there to Mt Ida and the Wagner Crystal mine. I can't wait!
I want one
My kids and I are amateur fossil hunters. Thank you for your videos. It's great to see what we could look for. We have subscribed and we are watching through your other videos now.
Amazing finds. You’re a fortunate guy to find all these specimens.
My loss I’ve just found your video and I’m hooked. I love fossils and now I can get to see them found at the source. Thanks for sharing
Love it. I'm a Missouri River bottoms explorer survivalist. These finds are fabulous. Subscribed
WOW! What a treat to come upon your vlog. I’m amazed at what found on that riverbed!
I’m a newbie here. So enjoy watching adventures like this. Great Find! Blessings 🙏. Be safe
Thanks. I would love one of those.
Glad the awful weather is good for something.
Amazing! I just started rock hounding a couple months ago and around here there's tons of Crinoid and coral fossils. Yesterday I found my first Ammonite but it's only the size of a quarter, I can't imagine finding one the size of a dinner plate. Great job sir!
Thats a great way to turn lemons into lemonade to use an old pun. I'm used to kayaking and fishing those rivers, never thought to look for prehistoric fossils. The more you know. (shooting star)
love watching you find such beautiful ammonites!
Amazing finds!!! I’ve never seen ammonites so large. Very cool!👍🏻
These Ammonites are amazing!! We dont have them like that here! Would love to get one like that :)
Super cool videos I am not a fossil guy but stumbled upon your videos because I've been stuck in the house after getting my knee replaced. Good luck to you finding more.
I love ammonites and, living in the UK, am close to the Jurassic coast. There you can find pyrite infused ammonites, and giant ones on Portland island. What I find fun imagining is what those warm seas must have looked like. Wonderful subject. Very interesting video.
Thank you! I needed a great Fossil Hunt! You did great and really hope your new find will help you out. Keep up the fun work!
This looks so much fun!
I would love to do this, what a cool hobby. I don't know if I would be able to do this in my country, but I'm sure going to look it up and do some research.
We’re not far from Fossil Oregon, so finding your video today was awesome. My husband loves the shell type fossils.
Your biggest 5yr old fan would love an ammonite! Her name is MadiLou and is a true fossil hound!
I am so ecstatic that you were able to find all those ammonites now that the river has dried up a lot the fossils are right there to be seen awesome
I love your video , all I’ve ever done is walk along creek beds and find points Indian arrowheads and sometimes a stone ax .
You find so many ammoninites, that small one is so cute. Big one's are awesome to.
I wish I’d learned about your channel earlier! I’d love to go fossil hunting! Looks like so much fun!
Wow ... Amazing finds! Congrats to you!
Omg finally got a message. Oh wow don’t damage it, I don’t think I have ever seen something so lovely. I do have a fossil it’s maybe 6 inch conch shell it’s the only thing I have but I love it, 100 thousand + yrs old.. do you sell these by the way even a tiny one to by would be awesome.. Amorite or sea horse
Great find. Can you use a hammer handpiece on a flexshaft to remove the mud from them for the finer work?
Wowzer your brave. I never use anything stronger than my battery toothbrush 😂. I live in Texas too, South Central area. I am fairly new to fossil hunting. Been a long time rockhound. I love rocks. Really like your video. Sadly all I find around here are common sea life fossils. Thank you for sharing.
🙃☕❤❤❤❤
I love ❤watching you find those ammonites. I sure wish they were up my way in Oregon. Don't laugh.
incredible finds - you have all the luck!
Those are beauties 😍 what an exciting find. Hope you stay cool 😎 and happy hunting new prospects soon 😀 definitely thumbing up for support. 👍🏼💚🐸💚🐢
It's good to be a day late LOL. I've been looking for stuff like this along Wichita River we have lakes that are drying up I've been finding bottles from the early 1900s
Hi, your treasures are just beautiful. Enjoy hunting with you.
I like Ammonites. I find one once in a while in gravel pits. Thanks for sharing.
Very neat , love your videos, again thanks for sharing! You have amazing adventures.
that new fossil you found is a Heteromorph Ammonite super cool and they are fairly uncommon great find
How exciting!my first time seeing you! So what is an ammonite? I have never seen anything like these and so absolutely cool.
Thank you ! Loved your video :) Great job getting all those out! Rock on !
I think you should still dig out the cracked ones. I would love to have one even with its crack. I would glue it back together, especially one of the big ones! 👍🥰
My father use to make ear rings out the small ones. That's for sharing
You had an excellent day...congrats on the new discovery!
Now it's mid August. We're finally getting days where its only in the upper 90's We had 40 plus days of temperatures over 100 degrees in the summer of 2022.
Absolutely gorgeous specimens!
Awwww I like the little baby fossil 🥰
Wow, hope you find more of the j shaped ammonites
Really great specimens. Enjoy watching you find these.
Great ammonite I like to see more of you going down the creek!
How awesome!
I would so make this trip from Colorado. Just to add to my list.
Thanks for doing what you do
Way to go... Nice find!
Hounding heaven right there!
Beautiful ammonites! It must be thrilling to find them!
Can’t wait to see the update on this one!
These videos are so interesting!! Thank you for your hard work!!😊
Must be so exciting to find a brand new find.
It kills me to know that I’ve probably come across so many fossils and just didn’t know what I was looking at…
Wow great location - very cool finds - thanks for the video
