      Awesome vid. Kyle I think you might want to watch some videos about gold prospecting in rivers, that will give you the reason for the pyrite is there and not in the other spot, hint, its density and hydrodynamics. thanks for the awesome content.

    At 21:19 you have what looks like some river tumbled marine reptile or dinosaur bone fragments right next to your hand.
    Pyrite forms from fossils as the iron phosphate in organic remains seperates out into iron oxide, sulphur, and phosphorous, leading to the formation of iron oxide minerals and native sulphur. Sometimes these two go through secondary mineralisation to form iron sulphates :)

    Congrats on your first Ptychodus tooth, Kyle! Some of my favorites to find. That’s a killer creek y’all found as well.
    Also, that tooth at 8:30 is actually a symphyseal tooth to a Squalicorax (crow shark), aka the teeth in the center of the jaws in between the tooth rows. Explains why it was shaped so weird.

    @jessicalawrence3074 Місяць тому +2

    Hi Kyle! I know why the pyrite was all in one area... I know you've wondered about creeks' material sorting capabilities before, like when your wife found three pennies in one place. The reason is actually pretty simple, but it's not something people tend to think about/picture because it generally happens when the waters are swollen and faster-flowing during rains/storms. Any object that is lifted and moved by the water takes a certain amount of energy to do so. Objects with similar specific gravity require similar amounts of energy to move. When the energy amount in a running stream's water reduces rapidly (most often because of moving over an obstacle [large rock] or moving around a bend in the creek), any objects that are too heavy fall out of suspension, in that specific area, while other objects continue to move with the water. That is how rivers sort objects into sections! The most common objects found together are metallic ones. Notice that you also saw the iron nail in the same batch as the pyrite.

When I was about 2 my father and I were walking around and I reached down and picked up a shell and asked him that could be there because I knew it was from the ocean. He explained how the earth was covered with ocean millions of years ago and so forth. Hence my lifelong interest in Geology and fossils. 👍☮️🌞🦈
