Am-mo-nite. And they are mollusks, but much more closely related to squids, not snails. Still, cool spot. Glad there are still some corners of the desert that are mostly untrammeled. Thanks for sharing.
In this video and in one other I am aware of, you refer to the sheep in this country as Dall Sheep. These are the Desert Sheep version of the Rocky Mountain sheep. The Dall version are white and range in Northwest Canada and Alaska.
Hi thanks for showing the world that the desert is beautiful and interesting. 3 things. Dall sheep are sub arctic species that live from Alaska south into Canada. They don't live in the deserts of the south west. The sheep that inhabit the desert are desert bighorn sheep. The "tortoise flipper" is not a tortoise. It's a turtle. Tortoise are land based animals. Turtles are aquatic. The ancient rock drawing are petroglyphs not pictographs.
That is correct about Dall sheep. I am an Alaskan and I still call them Dall sheep. Bad habit. Never researched the difference between Tortoise or Turtles, thanks for the information. Ancient rock drawings are called Petroglyphs if they are pecked into the rock and Pictographs when they are painted on the rock.
I love to find fossils! I understand about you not wanting to tell anyone. I used to find different fossils and shark teeth in Bakersfield CA that a friend turned me onto. I loved digging for those and finding stuff, so cool! 😀👍
The earth holds so many gifts and it's so exciting to find some things like that. I'm glad you're respectful to the items that need to be left behind. Thank you.
I've been so respectful I've gated the hole entry. Keeping the unique natural bounty undamaged. I know where a city had buried rusty manhole covers and their circular framing. Mixing the concrete pour has lard labor but my reader can thank me after being schooled by that denial.
Oh man, great spot! Be on the lookout for trilobites in some of the sandstone outcrops too. That area is most known having a high concentration of trilobite specimens (of course you can't get to some of the best hunting spots, for obvious reasons). A few Stringocephalus "lamp shell" fossils have been found around there too!
Thank you for the video . 11 minutes the Youth runs up with a Good one . Kids are great for spotting Fossils once you show them what to look for . So many times on Field trips the youngsters were finding great stuff . Better eyes , lower to the ground and the curious attitude makes a Kid a great Fossil hunting Pard .
@@nanopig7766 A woman ( ? ) in the Mineral Section said that at a Meeting . So for the next 4000 emails I signed off with that Name . It really Irked Her Ha ha .
i know of a area here in west texas where fossils are litterally laying on the side of the road. my son even found a megladon sharks tooth that was bigger than my hand laying within 10 feet of the pavement.
Secret places are best kept to one’s self to protect the place from immature humans with cans of spray paint and thieves who would carry precious things away!
Hey thank you for the video. When I was little, we used to live in Midland CA. where behind our house there were all kinds of fossils. Now here in Missouri even in my own backyard I have found fossils. Recently close to where I live, they have found a fossil of a Saber tooth Tigger.
Was that Saber-tooth Tiger was found in an adjacent state ? As 50 years ago I was one of two cave explorers who found a pair. Trapped in their den by an entry collapse. Seen as a mated pair huddled amid their seasonal cavern waterhole. Starving if not thirsty. No bite damage on the relics so they evidently comforted each other in the darkness. With jaws big enough to split prey bones for tasty contents. Thought to be ambush hunters with big rear leg bones to leap far but not ideal for a long fast chase. That location is under the State Capital and within a high-rise building. Where one steel manhole cover in the lowest level conceals a fixed steel ladder descent entry into the cavern. So....... go figure.
Yes, I've explored eastern Nevada, but was so lazy I crawled over marine fossils instead of walking. It was with other National Speleological Society members of the San Francisco Bay Chapter. We had USGS topographic hard copy for directions. The holes we wormed into were low but warmed by the season. Only one went vertical which we climbed down into a high ceiling slot. There was some walking also. Where the sun never shines.
If your interested in fossils, I reccommend the John Day fossil beds in central Oregon. Check out your GPS for the location of the fossil beds. Also, be adviced that it's Rattle snake country. Take care, and be safe.
I live in pahrump and have three and a half year old son and I loved geology although I don't know much about it I'm trying to learn. Having said that I found a beautiful fossil in Indian springs by creature first base. And I always look at all the rocks on the ground in my yard just everywhere I'm kind of obsessed. My question though or rather my frustration, is that I often feel like I'm looking at a fossil in a rock but how can I be sure I'm not certain if maybe I'm just seeing things because I want to see them. So I'm wondering where do I go to either try to teach myself or get some instruction on how better to identify this so that I can bring my son with me and teach him to
To think that was an ancient sea bed. Oh no I'm glad you did the fossil hunting! I love hunting for fossils! You are welcome! Are those also called nautiloids? Unless I'm thinking of the bigger ones. I just remember hunting for fossils in western Colorado with a friend of mine and that's what he was calling those.
O the gifts ancient lake Lawnton has given us.. I’ve been all over Nevada and found many interesting things. I believe I know the relative area you are but I will never go or tell anyone because I respect the gifts Mother Earth gives us.
I qualified to join the organized cave explorers of Wyoming. By past cartography under Montana for the US Park Service. The members do not remove relics but do research on them. Assisted by NASA if lifeforms are new to science or unknown minerals are discovered underground. If you join the National Speleological Society Inc. be advised NASA has said what the NSS members are doing is contributing toward future apps.... on moons and other planets. Help your species go there.
I use Cooper STT Pro tires. These have a really strong side wall and handle the sharp rocks and grease wood very well. As for suspension I use Old Man Emu. Mainly because I spend a lot of time in Mexico and Central America and it is easy to get replacements. Everything I do to my vehicle is how easy is it to find what I need in a small town of 25 people, or how fast can I get the replacement brought in. In many of the remote villages, if I blow a shock like a Icon I would have to get to a large city and would most likely have to ship it out to get it repaired. Using just OME I can find it in some larger towns or have it brought in very quickly.
You ever think maybe your a little uptight, its a nice fossil bed but it woukdnt kill you to share some info within the cool people community, I tell people what I find and have no secret places. Relax and enjoy
There's probably some upper triassic and lower pleistocene, different worlds in the same mix in whatever mudstone type sediment. Igneous extrusions and quarts probably make the best fake prints I've ever seen. Lots of hard unnecessary labor then laughed to scorn. Maybe get your name in national geographic like that guy on jaws. Excellent.
If you want to fossil hunt, we have ammonite's up to 24" across. I have a 35 foot mososuar in the Dallas museum. This area is known for fossil's. Sad thing, someday soon it will be under a lake. Shark teeth, bones, baculite, turtles, etc

Thanks for the info!
Dall Sheep are only found in Alaska & Yukon. Do you have Dall on the mind but really mean Dessert Big Horn Sheep? ;)
You are living my dream.
2.5 years to go in corporate hell.
One day.
Dreams often takes $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Did you make it?

Ammonites are NOT snails!
That area looks similar to Ammonite Hill in NV, might be same formation if not in same area.

North West NV lots of em near the dry lake (sea) bottoms. Near the Black Rock and larger than expected.
i've only watched a couple of your videos, but i enjoy watching the drive in to the spots. reminds me of the west desert in utah
These videos make me homesick
How cool!! I love fossils!! The country is just fantastic!! What Beautiful scenery!! Thanks for sharing!!❤☃️🇺🇸🙏
Oceanic past . . . in the desert. Saw prehistoric ocean evidence in Wyoming.
thats limestone, sir and there are no dall sheep in Nevada. nice video.
really nice! thanks!
Your secret spot is Fantastic! Thanks for sharing it. I cant wait to get back out to NV. There are so many amazing places to explore.
We partied on Fossil Rock in high school! #PVHS
i know of a area here in west texas where fossils are litterally laying on the side of the road. my son even found a megladon sharks tooth that was bigger than my hand laying within 10 feet of the pavement.
That would be fun.
You need bigger hands to help measure fossil fangs and teeth.
Fun to watch glad you didn't share where it was. Those are some cool fossils, was nice to see a different type of quest!
Thanks for taking me and the boys!!!!! Glad you edited the one screaming or me yelling at him! Lol
Bad ass ram there!
Any time!
Thats a nice secret, Hope you can keep it 😉
Secret places are best kept to one’s self to protect the place from immature humans with cans of spray paint and thieves who would carry precious things away!
Like Bigfoot scat thieves.
So cool
Really liked the trip. Thank you
I love fossil hunting,good video,
Great video. Would not have guessed that there would be so many type of animal and fish fossils in the desert.
Those look more like Leverite than fossil ammonites.
Loved the drive in
Do you ever take greenhorns with you or lead a group? Would love to join you
I found a Bigfoot canteen up there in them parts...cant' tell where because of 'click baiters'.
thank you very nice to see

Are snake encounters common as you explore?
Hey guy! Watch out for that mountain lion! "YIKES!!!"
Interesting video.

I’ll find this place. I’m in Nevada, I drive everywhere
Nice channel, the fossil you set back i think is a shark vertebrae.
That would make sense. Was out there a couple weeks ago and found a sharks tooth. This is the first one I have found there.

Really cool , thx for the Vedic!
No problem!
Man my son would love to go and dig some ammonites.
Hey ,i think you drove right past a t rex fossil closer to the big rock next to the bush👍👊🤟🇺🇸

5 minutes of driving wasnt necessary
Do you realize you're driving the favorite Talibunnie mobile!! Indestructible except by hellfire!
I got car sick before they got to the site!
I got two or three places like this ! The best one is out on Rancho Secreto !
great stuff
You need to join us next time. I will be taking Chris up to another fossil site that is just north of me.
I like looking for Dino bone in paradox valley Colorado

Is this near West Wendover?
No, it is in Southern Nevada
Not many Joshua trees in NE Nevada...
Paiute reservation 👍
I live in Wyoming and I'm constantly seeing random dirt roads id like to explore, but I'm afraid of being on someone's property.

Is it legal to collect if you are on BLM property?

Keep an eye on the kids out there. That's prime cat country.
That’s why I have 3 kids....always have a spare.
@@brokenroadsandabandonedmines lose 1 and the spares and you will be sad
I would love to accompany you on a fossil hunt. My lips would be sealed off course.
Fossil..?... where ?... Fossil... fossil...here fossil... fossil...
Just tell em your looking for rocks.
So it says fossil... but I don't think so
Ammonites are NOT snails. 🤣
Left at 4 minutes. Told myself at 2 minutes in I'll give it one more minute. Then another. 🤬

"I don't only do abandoned places".
Shows an abandoned dessert.
Good stuff though.
741... still. No fossil... voice not good...he is a little twirt..... fossil... fossil. fossil... where.... fossil...
Sorry had to abandon ship, didn't click for 5min of you driving around the desert
Dont be a dick
Thanks for nothing.
Thanks for the view
What did you want? lol
To many A holes, not enough deserted isle's....
Lol, that stuff is literally everywhere, this spot isn’t special .
All you have to do is go out there and LOOK !
If you want to fossil hunt, we have ammonite's up to 24" across. I have a 35 foot mososuar in the Dallas museum. This area is known for fossil's. Sad thing, someday soon it will be under a lake. Shark teeth, bones, baculite, turtles, etc
Nice
@xi li how did you know that?
@xi li Gober is the other town
