In todays video i share a small secret hidden away in a town called Stanhope which is found in the North Pennines in England. This tree turned to stone a long time ago!
I came for the strid but stayed for things like that. I mean, again woow what an piece of history, which makes you feel humble towards nature and time. Jack thanks for amazing me again ;) keep up your enthusiasm for nature my man, that is what i think people love to see, at least i do so ;) Nobody needs another clickseeking soulless channel about nature sights ;D so as long as you keep your spirit up and show us stuff that you are amazed about too, you have a loyal german fan ;D Many blessings jack :)
Thanks for the kind words KAking i love seeing comments like this. Really helps with motivation as sometimes there is an occasional comment that makes me wonder why i do it lol but i know i just need to ignore the haters! :D
@@jackasnacks definitely ignore the haters, they get off in pulling people down. 'It is not necessary to blow another man's candle out to make your own shine brighter' but the trolls and keyboard warriors seem to thrive on their vitriolic rhetoric. But even me stating this gives them reward so I won't say anymore. But yes, I too saw the Strid post high up on my feed when your post exploded But before the local papers picked you up. I'm thankful for that. Whilst the Strid posts interest me your other videos have gripped me and kept me here. Your winning formula is your diversity and like you say there is only so many Strid videos you can make. Keep going and keep filming it your way. Don't change, just be you. That's what attracted me to your posts and what keeps me coming back. Thanks for the vid.
Stanhope is a lovely little town, one of my favourite places to visit in the North East. Thanks for posting this video. Looking forward to more Weardale content from you!
Your comment hit's the nail buddy 👏 That is what YT should be about. Unfortenately mostly people with no perspective and selfish interests, share their lives with us on the tube 👎 so yeah, thanks again Jack for the different approach ;D
Your videos are very interesting man. I'm really happy that your channel is growing, you deserve the success. Please continue sharing culture with us, UA-cam needs more people like you 👍
Greetings from Ohio In the USA. Loving the historical facts you include in your videos!! I know you've gotten quite the bump in subscribers and viewership as of late. This my good sir, is WELL DESERVED! Keep up the great work Jack.
That puts the Human Race into perspective. As Bill & Ted said 'we are a grain of sand in the hourglass of time'. God I'm quoting films now lol. Great video. Just love the snippets of History you give us all.
Remarkable. Very interesting. Depth of the Strid also good docu. Your also a very engaging and pleasant narrator Jack. Very enjoyable and I hope you gain many more subscriptions. All the best from Ireland 👌👍🌟🇮🇪
Nice one Shamie, appreciate the kind words. Got any hidden gems you know of in Ireland thats worth a google? Theres just no way i would learn about what people have found if i dont ask so i hope you dont mind me asking :D
Wow I knew petrified wood was old but holy damn I didn’t know it could be that old! That’s so interesting. Also I like the outro music it’s a really nice addition 👍
@@jackasnacks Jee thanks Jack, just don’t go changing your name to JackyTheSnacky ahaha lol Also do you think JackASnacks would look better? I’m not to sure which would look better.
Wonderfully fascinating and intriguing Jack! I had no clue about these trees. I enjoy not only the gems you uncover for us on your channel, but also the educational comments from folks seemingly all around the globe. Riveting stuff, love it!!
Thanks Taylor. You guys are helping me broaden my own knowledge with making these videos :) 4k subs though! Cant really believe how fast its gone up lol
Interesting piece of history, thanks for showing us that. You obviously have a passion for what your doing, keep it up and you’ve got me as a loyal follower.
Thats deffo being added to my list of things to see whilst exploring in our camper. Only done a little of the North pennines so far..... its a beautiful area. And not too far for a weekend away from Lancashire.
Does it not have an information board or anything to say what it is? There were 3 Fossil Trees taken from the quarry that this one was pulled from. The others were placed in museums in Newcastle and other surrounding cities
THAT is brilliant. Thank you for the science. ❤ Glad they preserved it. We have such an amazing planet. There is a petridied tree in the botanical gardens in Sheffield. That was facinating too if you ever down that way.
That is really amazing….you get it. I’ve been exploring a very small piece of landscape in western Montana that was upthrusted by the Sapphire Block, traveling west to east by the force of an ancient subduction zone. The ancient North American west coast. The Cascade Range of the American Northwest hadn’t yet formed as the west coast at this time was near the western Idaho border with Washington state. This accident of luck reveals a Paleocene shore line environment of volcanics meeting an inland sea, with a variety of fossils and petrified/opalized wood. A treasure. As you walk across the landscape, you realize there is a hidden forest underneath your feet, with volcanic eruptions that captured a snapshot of a moment in time far away from the more famous and known dinosaurs fields of eastern Montana. It is a small area no bigger than 1/8 of a mile in width (east to west) by a 1/4 mile in length (north to south) that has been exposed by glacial excavation. A dumb luck accident of events and forces in an area that has mostly been recycled over and over by volcanism, mountain building, glaciation and erosion. A peak into the flora and fauna of an area lost to the massive forces of time. It sits on the edge of a kimberlite dike. I’ve found fossilized leaves, seeds, vertebrae and other bones. It just blows your mind and yet you can’t interest the Museum of the Rockies because one, it’s not supposed to be there and secondly, I’m just an amateur. It will be known someday, when I get a hold of the right open eyes and ears. Until then, it’s just my little secret. Keep it up- I enjoyed learning about a place I had never heard of.
I can’t believe it’s survived all this time or our history and all the wars. Mad. But also you can pick up pretty much any rock and be holding something that’s as old as the planet itself. 😂
I was learning about the strid and came across your channel today, what an awesome channel! I'm looking forward to seeing more adventure videos and seeing this channel grow! Keep up the great work :)
Cool to see petrified trees in England, didn't know they existed there. We have some extensive areas of petrified trees in North America, with the Arizona Petrified Forest being the most famous. I have a few bits waiting to be cut and polished.
Didn't realise they had that name good to know! Thats why i love this youtube thing, i learn something whilst making it and then people from all over the world share their knowledge too. Appreciate it man
@@MsChris696969 You're correct that you can't collect in the Petrified Forest National Park, but there are many locations where you can collect, usually for a fee. You can also buy petrified wood from rock and mineral shops, which is where I obtained the pieces that I have.
There is a petrified forest at the coast (Northumberland way). Sometimes the tree stumps are exposed by the tides, other times you would not know they are there unless you are local. ☺️
The picture of that Sigillaria tree looks like a primitive version of a modern Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia). They are mostly in the Mojave Desert in California. California is home to what I call the "Fantastic 4 Trees": The famous Giant Sequoias (the largest in the world), the California Redwood trees (the tallest in the world), the Ancient Bristlecone pines (probably the oldest in the world), and the Joshua Trees (one of the oddest looking in the world, "otherworldly".
I humbly submit that a fifth unique California tree be added to your Fantastics: The facinating Santa Lucia Fir. An endemic species growing in only the most remote and inaccessible crags of the Santa Lucia mountain range of the Famous Big Sur region of coastal Central California. Think Dr. Seuss designs a christmas tree, the cones grow upwards from misshapen gangly branches with sharp jurassic looking foliage. A survivor from ancient times the nearest relative discovered was an 80 million year old fossil. Truly an incredible tree worthy of inclusion in anyones best of list. Cheers
I’m new to this channel. What a fabulous find! I’ve watched 8 or more videos on UA-cam TV, starting with the Strid. Fascinating content. I’m looking forward to seeing more. Cheers. Oh, I live in Houston Texas.
Petrifief woods is SO FREAKIN COOL!!!!! I used to have a piece of some from the western US, it had some interesting colors to it from the minerals i believe
almost 10k subscribers!! There's a gold mine of small British youtubers that show off local history / interesting things. Martin Zero, Bee here now, Paul & Rebecca Whitewick, Tom Scott of course. You could definitely do something similar. short 5-10min documentaries are so much more interesting than reaction videos! I'm here to stay because this is an absolute gem of a channel
Now that’s pretty interesting. That’s really cool I’ll enjoy stuff like this this is really really really cool jack bravo to you man. This is satisfaction from knowledge I love it. Like always Jack be cool brother watching from Outer Banks North Carolina
In Glasgow there are the remains of several fossil tree trunks in a park . They have built a shelter over them and you just walk in for free . Quite an amazing scene . It's called Fossil Grove if you fancy checking it out on UA-cam 👍❤️
Hi Jack, been viewing your work and impressed by fossilised wooden trunk, how visible are the rings? Did you know dendrochronolgy was the first barkode ? You did not examine them! I enjoyed this one so l will not float down the river Strid in an inflated wetsuit over a drysuit as planned because your title would be messed. Has anybody done this yet? Surely just a matter of redundant buoyancy.
I absolutely love to hear you speak on history. This video is awesome. So cool to learn this. I can't wait to show it to my teen son tomorrow, he's gonna love it also. THANK YOU.
Hey mate, i just found your channel (algorithm spat the strid videos at me), and i gotta say your vids like these seem really interesting. Not sure if you would have the time, but seeing some longer more indepth videos on stuff like this would be awesome! Keep up the good work and good luck with your channel
Very interesting vid little brother.. Wish I could make one more trip to your island but at 70 and with a body that served me well during my wild life but now is paying the price for my insanity.. travel is not in the plans any more.. Carry on let your imagination run wild and share your fun with us.. thanks again!
Petrified wood is so freakin cool. I wish I could find something that big😭 all i have is a bunch of small pieces lol. It’s really fun when you find a construction site with the wood littered around everywhere in the dirt piles. So now i get too excited just seeing a big dirt pile😂
Yes things liken to this are interesting. At least to me. Welcome to your new job, that is exploring and documenting interesting history and landmarks in the Isles. You very well may have stumbled across your new career. Keep it up I'm enjoying seeing these interesting things from other side of the pond
Fascinating to hear about the higher oxygen levels in the past that enabled the insects to grow so large. Great to see the fossilized tree as well. There's a stone right next to the footpath on the approach to The Cow and Calf rocks near Ilkley. It has a cylindrical hole going into it that appears to show fossilized tree bark in millstone grit. Tried researching it, but found nothing. Does anyone know anything about it? I have a photo if that helps.
Still digging up countless roman, British and Celtic buildings aging from 3500 to 150 years ago under often several feet of soil all across the uk but I'm supposed to believe a petrified tree remained above ground for millions of years? Things get petrified in far less time. Look at the trees from Mt St Helen's which are petrified today. 40 years.
Yup! Because it was interesting and no humans decided to try to destroy it. The earth is still offering info from decades, or centuries, or eons. Always fascinating, what is returned to dust or molten, versus what survives. Or it could be a Very old prank, and that would deserve a round of applause.
I have a fossil trunk or branch, and seeds from the yorkshire gritsand. Never got the species identified but it is some kind of giant treefern, so maybe the same species. Though naughty to do, the quarry near the buttertubs, has some interesting fossils, plus galena laying around if you take a sneak wander into there like I did many years ago.
Keep it up man, open people's eyes to little known things they would never know about because they live in a different part of the world. This is super cool.
I wonder about the giant bites in AZ. The ones that look like blown up versions of this with the powdery sand at their base... how big would that tree have to be?
You can petrify a tree in 50 years in the right condition. We have petrified pickles from the 1950s, and a guy's foot that died in the 40s that's petrified.

There is a similar tree albiet a copy in Bradford park the one with the Hall on it.
I've only read about these trees and seen artist's drawings. You're the 1st person to say "Hey!! Here it is, take a look!". That's awesome, thank you.
That's cool Spark glad i can share it with you :)
Now living in Hungary it is wonderful to hear your accent. I reminds me of home. Thanks for a lovely video.
Thats so nice to hear Magyar, home is always waiting for you! :)

There’s a stone tree trunk like this in Bradford somewhere in West Bowling. I don’t know if it’s real but it’s always been there.
Does it not have an information board or anything to say what it is? There were 3 Fossil Trees taken from the quarry that this one was pulled from. The others were placed in museums in Newcastle and other surrounding cities
@@jackasnacks it has no plaque or information board but it has a small fence circling it.

Unfortunately you make a ton of assumptions here. Wood fossilizes a lot quicker than that, just a few hundred years, not millions.
true

Weird to think that sandstone is 320 million years old and now i have just filmed it in 4k lol. Bet that sand wasnt expecting that!
@@jackasnacksIt blows my mind to think about a time span of such magnitude.
Good quality clips! Love the drone footage aswell :)
Trees don't have veins. Please explain how sand got forced through the tree.

This seems like after millions of years it would be buried under many many layers of earth's crust. Evolution. Religion not science. 😆
The earth's crust moves unevenly. Some religions believe a Creator can create evolution, too.
Thanks for the word salad. It seemed like there were ideas trying to be expressed?

If you think about it, everything we touch has come from earth so everything we touch is super super old. Still cool to touch a fossilised tree!
There's a fossil tree outside the front of the natural history museum in London that's 450 million years old . It's quite incredible
Keep it up man, open people's eyes to little known things they would never know about because they live in a different part of the world. This is super cool.
This is fabulous! Thanks so much from Maryland USA
Well somebody scared it and it was petrified.
I sent you an email Jack but I hadn't seen this video! I think you might find my email of some interest now. Best wishes.
Keep exploring the UK, Jack!
We'll follow along.
Such a cool bit of history
Your vids are good mate ... Its amazing seeing these places & hearing the history behind them
How fun, thank you! Have some algorithm chow 🙂
When i look at you i dont know if i am looking at a 13, 30 or 50 year old man? I think you have good genetics.
I wonder about the giant bites in AZ. The ones that look like blown up versions of this with the powdery sand at their base... how big would that tree have to be?
The algorithm has been doing me a lot of favors by showing me so many interesting people, thanks for the video!
Super cool videos! Thank for sharing!
"...back when beetles were much bigger than Jesus..."
Not just that it was growing 320 mya, but that it was growing 320 mya, in that spot.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Never knew how petrification worked, thanks for sharing
There's one (fossilised tree) in the botanical gardens in Sheffield
That was groovy in a far out happening kind of way.
Love what your doing, keep doing the things that interest you.
you're like a significantly younger version of tom scott
Wow Jack …4,000 and counting . Well done
wow this is awesome! Greetings from Pakistan...
There's one like that in Bradford at maningham park
I really like your videos, well produced and narrated nicely!
Would love to see you explore the strangeness of the Dartmoor!
I was sure this was the work of the White Witch from Narnia!
Devils tower in Wyoming comes to mind...
Love an ancient (ancient ancient ancient ancient fossil of a) tree!
1:12 Anybody else notice the elderberry tree next to the stump?
This is the dude from "UP" as a young man.
there is another site like this in Sheffield up wadsley way if you are ever in the area.
Very fascinating, thanks.
Love this. Everyday a school day!
This is so so so cool truly wish I could touch it wow thank you for this
That was great.
Cheers, m'dear. 😊
Very interesting. Thanks.
Ironic how this is on religious ground
This channel needs more subs!
Such a beautiful place to live! 🤯
Every day is indeed a school day.
You can petrify a tree in 50 years in the right condition. We have petrified pickles from the 1950s, and a guy's foot that died in the 40s that's petrified.
I have learned a new word from this video. Petrified! I didn't know these were known as this thank you for sharing :)
